Oh God, I hope so! I'm 39 and I sure would like my life to FINALLY begin!
yes
40 is great,so far
I hope so.
Life is great at any age friend.
My life began the day i was born
no
My goodness how old do you think 40 is!! We are not decrepid at 40 you know, I am 42 and I feel exactly the same age yet wiser, as I did at 22. I'd not go back to my 20s, it's a lot better being this age, you have a lot to look forward to!
Yeah,middle-age life.
my bf and i are eagerly looking for the retirement. everybody knows real life starts after you retire. ;)
yes 40 is okay and you can still live and in fact when you hit 40 you will feel like 20 only have more aches and pains you will think wow i thought 40 was so old but when you are there you see it really isn't
I am in my fifties now but I seem to think my forties were the best time in my life. Still young and fit but the kids were older, I was wiser and I rediscovered me.
no their lying, and alzheimers makes them forget what it was like to be young. Look the only time to rock out with your co-ck out is now, at 40 you are a wrinkled prune-- who wants to be them? they suck all of them
Look they gonna forget what i wrote soon anyway so dont worry
it is for me,my kids have grown,bit more money,holidays ,work,sex.more privacy.but i do enjoy being with the family.
Yes, yes, yes and yes. Speaking as someone who hit 40 in January my life is better now than it has ever been - I had my first child at 38 (does that count) and just got engaged a coupleof weeks back. I am more happy with myself than I have ever been more confident and less worried about what people think - I wish I could have felt this wonderful in my 20's!
Life begins when your are retired. No one to answer to.
youd better believe it - life is great after 40 - if you look afte yourself you be fit and healthy without all the insecurities of a twenty something. my children are grown up now so no babysitters to thin about and what we earn is ours . great
Just look after your teeth, then being 40 isn't so bad
well...I*m 49 and life is wonderful. Yes, I learn something new everyday. You have to be able to be open to new things, because things are constantly changing, esp. in the area of technology. these days we have to know about computers, DVD players, cell phones, texting, etc. I was married when I was young and had two daughters and that marriage ended when I was 43, by the time I was 44 I was remarried, we will never have kids, but we share 3 daughters. My husband and I exercise about 5 times a week, neither of us has any health problems, but we don*t drink or smoke, either. Hubby is going to be 51. Don*t worry, there is still life after 30, it even gets better.
Life can begin after 5 minutes of passion behind the bike sheds!
you can live life to the fullest at any age.. its whether you have anything you are looking forward too everyday when you wake up from bed.
you can be 15 and feel so dull and lack of life.
but you can be 80 and still looking forward to each day with anticipation.
I'm turning 40 this year and am having more fun that I've in years. My husband and I now spend our weekends cycling / canoeing / playing golf, having so much fun. We've become more adventurous and outgoing and since we don't have kids we have a lot of time to do what we love doing.
Its true what they say. Life begins at 40.
I hit the big 40 this year and I'm feeling better than ever.
44 here....living life happily....yeah i think it does begin at 40, especially when all the kids are grown up, you have a little bit more freedom...and it depends what you want to do with your life at 40....life is what you make it...
I think you can do all those things in forty. These days you don't know what can happen. What do I know though I'm 16. When my parent was 40 he did everything you said except have a kid my dad has twin (me and my twin brother) and two other boys (My oldest brother and my younger one) he don't want anymore.
One of my favorite sayings is "It is the life in your years, not the years in your life that count the most." Age is only a number for birthday cakes and even though I'm staring down at the big 4-5, I'll never be old. I'll never stop learning and I make the most of every day.
Life begins every day. After 40 is a great time. I've been as fit after 40 as before, which means that when I work out and take care of myself I'm healthy and toned and still turn heads. I try to fully enjoy every day. My husband and I still go out and party till dawn when we want, but we also appreciate quiet nights at home. I had my babies in my 20's, but I can say without a doubt that being a "young" grandma is awesome. I don't know if I'd want to have young kids at this age, because I've already done it and enjoyed it then. I do have more patience now and don't get as stressed over little things. I don't feel as much pressure to do it all and be perfect. I've learned that what's important to me is what matters, not what everyone else thinks. I still relish new experiences and can absolutely still learn new things.
Life after 40 is a blast!!!!
oh yes. I am 32 and just starting my life now. I am going to university and I am making plans for my future. I do have kids already though. For a woman, 40 is getting kinda late to have kids, but some woman can have kids up to 50 years old. by the time I am 40, I will be in my new job and adopt another child. When I was younger, I was not as good as I am at life right now. My first 29 years, I kinda stumbeld along in life. Now I am ruthless and yet caring... but nothing will stop me from living the life that I deserve anymore.
The older you get, the more you learn how to enjoy life and do what is best for you.
Honestly, cherish the years you have in your youth, as they will flit by like the wings of a hummingbird; it seems like everything is moving fast yet you are hovering in one spot.
As you age into your 30's, you may expect things to be different, or you may feel older to an extent, but do not worry. You will, hopefully, learn and mature during this time.
I just turned 40 myself, and things have been both good and bad. The bad part is the struggle with weight gain; the good part is that I am a bit more discerning and aware of things and people.
This will sound funny, but it seems more women have been paying attention to me, despite the fact I was in excellent physical shape during my younger days, and barely got any dates. Again, I was working a lot then, but that is another story.
You CAN be strong and fit at 40 and well beyond.
Look at Chuck Norris, Jack Lallane, and Sylvester Stallone, each man over 60 and in top physical form.
Make sure you maintain a healthy lifestyle now and continue with it.
This way, when 40 approaches, you won't have any problems.
My old mentor told me when I was 30 that everyone says life begins at 40, but in his experience it gets much better after 50. I never believed him, but now I am 55 I can fully confirm that he was 100% correct - providing you have the right attitude.
I had my first child at 42 and have never regreted it. On the contrary, I think I can bring so much more experience into his life (and mine) than when I was 20 or 30. As for learning new things, well, you are really never too old to learn, but again you must have the right attutude.
And that is in essence what it is all about - attitude. If you think yourself old, then, by God, you will be old, but if you believe you are still young (I think I am not over 40!), then you will stay young in spirit and that counts a lot. And the final point is, that women tend to appreciate the older, more experienced man!!
I can't believe you've asked this....and you say you're 24...is that 24 months????!!
