Looks at me brother. I am already in my mid-40s.

My bank account and accomplishments say I'm 25. Check & mate.

Forty was fine. I didn't feel old at all and was in a decent place mentally. I'm now 49, and I have a feeling 50 is going to be somewhat jarring. It just feels undeniably mature.

'Reality hits you hard, bro'

I'm like one of the youngest millenials... Still a long way to go thank you very much!

3 more months!! I’m excited! Aging is a privilege!

Old meme, already 40.

Gen x'er here, weren't y'all like starting things in 1981....wouldn't that make you comingup on a different decade? (I'll take my rotten tomatoes now, high velocity please)

Reminder that your generation contains all the best and worst of humanity, like other generations, and is not a like collective.

Leading up to my recent 40th, I went on a little tour of contacting people to tie up loose ends/seek closure where it was lacking. It was really helpful, even though at least one person worried I was planning to kill myself.

I won't be able to handle the embarrassment of being where I am while being 40.

40 has already caught me, but its OK because I still kick ass.

My father referred to me as 'almost 40' the other day, which I deemed rude so I called him 'almost 60', which he also deemed rude.

Oldest end of gen z, staring down the barrel of 30. Low key excited but still a lot to process lmao

Most of the Millenials I know have even already the scary 50 approaching from behind.

But that's some kind of observation bias, as I am GenX and interestingly know almost no people born between 1990 and 2000.

But I know a bunch of GenZ again who currently look like deer with big, wide open eyes at the approaching headlights of the "30" truck, which imho is much worse than the 40...

I'm gen Z and I'm less than two years from thirty. The years do keep coming, and they do not stop.

Everyone saying this is too late. We are Xennials not Millenials.

Already there, would not recommend. The only prize is unending joint pain.

I just turned 41, fuck you for accuracy....

Where is the button in Lemmy for flagging posts as "false and misleading"?

Fist time I got an AARP flyer in the mail I wanted to punch the mailman.

I remember when I felt invincible, like the world is my oyster. It felt like yesterday. Even though I didn't achieve everything that I hoped, I'm glad I was raised to just enjoy the journey.

Meanwhile, retirement age is speeding away into the distance...
