I just turned 40 years old

When you hit 50, you've, statistically got, less than one third of your life left

Make every day count!

80 seems average for my parent's generation. If you reach that in good health I reckon that's something to celebrate.

I've accepted that it'll probably never happen for me

I haven't settled down and had a family or anything like that, so I haven't even got that to provide an illusion of adulthood. I always imagined that I'd reach a point in life where it would seem like the appropriate time for that sort of thing, but so far I haven't felt that way. I was talking about this with my dad and sister a while back and my dad said "kids just sort of happen, you know?" and we both disagreed (my sister also doesn't have her own family). Nearly all of my friends have kids, and for them it did seem to just happen as well. I probably overthink the whole thing a bit, but then having children isn't a priority for me at all so there's no reason to try to change really.

I find it funny when people say kids "just happen" as if contraception isn't a thing.

I'm going to start earning some decent money and go on some travels and do up my house. Buy an electric car perhaps in a few years. I've had enough of doing drugs and getting drunk.

Best way, I did the same.

Purchased my house 11 years ago, travelled around the world and if things go to plan. I be mortgage free by 2024

Nice. Yeah I only have 9 years left on my mortgage. It is crippling me a bit as I can't do what I want as much as I don't have the spare cash. So I might as well concentrate on making a quick buck for now. I'm not going to bother doing too much education as I'm getting on a bit. But I can still do alright.

Funny to think 5 - 16 felt like an eternity in school. 16 to 30 felt just as long though it was a different kind of long but 30 - 40 felt crazy fast.

Funny enough 40 -60 is even faster - 60-75 seems like yesterday. Old age sucks.

I have to walk with a straight right leg now as my kneecap goes click clack.
