Gotta ask a quick, yet important, question

[nate8469]

Sorry to bother, but I was just wondering.. Is 30 really the new 20? lol, I had to ask, I'm 17, so I've just to know about the future. So if 30 really is the new 20, then is 20 the new 10? So that means I can still play video games? lol, just joking there, but really, how about those 30's?

I think the idea behind that whole "40 is the new 30" mindset is that the average lifespan is increasing. Therefore you have the same amount of time left at 40 that your grandparents had at 30.

I really love turning in my thirties
Thrities are really the new twenty!

I guess it all depends on who ya are, for me, 30's have been the new 60's! I'm stiff, my joints sound like rice crispies often when I move and I'm grumpy, so no, nothing like my 20's! Sorry, just had to vent

It's funny, at your age, I thought 30's, 40's were old and anything past 50 was ancient.

Now I'm in my mid-thirties, those ages still seem "young" to me. I would never want to go back to my teen years or even my 20's. Some people have the desire to be young again, but I don't. I'm quite content. Aging is not such a scary thing anymore.

Besides, I still play my son's video games...

That's funny!

I'm almost 40 and I've never felt or looked better!! AND, I'm alot wiser than I was in my 20's!
Sure, I was cute in my 20's, but I was soooo lost on what I wanted to do after I graduated college! And I was so miserable from not really knowing who 'I' was.
Now, I know exactly who I am and what I'm doing in 'life' and my RL's reflect it too.
I LOVE getting older!!

For me, I've become more and more comfortable in my skin now in my thirties than I have been ten or so years ago. And I hope to continue to be comfortable in my skin as I grow older. I think thirty certainly is the new twenty... dare I even say that forty is the new twenty!

Women these days just take better care of themselves than the women of many years past. When my maternal grandma was in her fifties she looked well....old. Now women in their fifties and sixties, even seventies look great! It's just an all around different attitude with todays women.

Before I learned that my cholestorol was near 200
At 199, I not just worked out more but
I ate more salads, grain, everything
Despite still eating sweets which I admit
Has been my downfall
I eat salads at least twice a week!
