Getting older may not be easy but it beats the alternative.

I turned 40 last week.
As the poet says: half-way is already passed and now is starting the age of memories (pardon my bad translation).

But I am not depressed at all (here may come an emoticon indicating a lie).

20. When I wake up in the morning I feel 60, but when I'm playing soccer with my friends I feel 10.

I realized I posted earlier in the thread without answering the question--poor form.

29--will be 30 this year. I've enjoyed my 20s and would do it all over again if I could. I'm not dreading my 30s, but I've just had a great decade, all things considered.

Well, at least I still have a shot at being wise.

According to my mom, I'm handsome, according to my wife I'm strong, according to my daughter I'm rich, and although I'm in the home stretch for #4, my dad has been calling me a wise guy since I was 7.

missed the thread until now...

i am 20 and i am still working to make every day more awesome than the previous one (and every day to play my best game of go)

on the other hand, i like saying that i feel old since 18, since then i don't remember my age and just subtract my birth-date from the current year (but i am still better off than my sister, i compute her age from mine)

Yea, this thread should have variables for ages, instead of fixed numbers. :-)

Well, I'm 21 (have been for awhile) now but I wish I was a lot younger. I'm starting to realize that all those years of wishing I was an adult were pure idiocy. Being a child is so much easier. Life gets so complicated after you hit adulthood.

Oh well.

30's is better than 20's - less angst. 30's beats childhood too -> no school & more money (IMO)


edit: I'm 32 and am currently working on my one-arm pushups

I dunno. As a kid, no bills. No need to worry about groceries. No need to worry about complicated relationships, for the most part. If the worst thing I had to worry about was a math test, my life would be a lot better. That's just my opinion, though! :D

I completely agree. Life becomes more complicated as you age.

sounds like you had a nice time at school - no bullying, no stress about the opposite sex, plenty of pocket money for fashionable clothes, good for you. This isn't the case for everyone - worst time of my life so far.

as for complications I guess it's all relative. Maybe I'm just better at dealing with all that stuff now (or maybe my wife does it for me :D )
