That was me at 30. Now at 50 I'm still surprised. Lol

I turn 40 in September. Still not convinced I'll make it till then
NotLuckyDucky
@op this was how I felt when I hit 30 I couldn’t believe it I made it that far so i didn’t have any plans, so the universe gifted me 2 weeks of sickness on my birthday.
LutraLazuli
I don't like the day my birthday lands on, mostly cause it's a holiday and as I have worked on every birthday so far, it also has been hyper slammed at my work, reminding me that I mean nothing as I also hardly get any real backup while others get backup
YouThinkImEspeciallyNotAGenius
I usually do very little on my birthday but I do take the week off and leave town for a couple days. For my 40th I had plans for the entire week. As we were finishing dinner on the my birthday(first of seven days off), I got so sick I was vomiting for 6 days, had to go to the hospital twice, and never left my apt aside from the hospital. I weighed 248lbs on my birthday and 230lbs seven days later. For 41 I took a week off and made no plans.

My 40s were the best decade of my life, followed closely by my teen years back in the 80s

This gives me hope

If I have to turn 40 (in 6 months), I'm throwing a party. I have only 3 friends, but a reason for a party is a reason for a party.
WeirdoIIC
I tried taking my 40th off to just relax at home. Got called in to work. That evening, middle age slammed into me hard enough to send me to the ER, and I learned I had to drink so much water every day that I had little to no room for anything I might actually enjoy...and that I had to keep this up for the rest of my life.
My 42nd was even worse.
CaptnRisky
It was your kidneys letting you know about aging…right?
ElbowDeepInAnimeBois
I just turned 40 recently, did nothing. There was nothing to do. Too cold for outdoor activities. Most of my friends have kids and/or no longer local. Insert depressed bear meme.

Best years yet to come make no mistake

My 40th this year. I’ve left it in my wife and mums hands

My 40th birthday was one of the best I ever had. The teens in my youth group had a surprise party for me. It was incredibly meaningful.

Turned forty on the 4th. It's okay. Good luck and stuff
DanimalRC
Yo! I crossed the line yesterday.
I took myself out and spent too much money.
It was excellent.
Have fun & good luck!!

Enjoy your body accelerating its decomposition to ludicrous speed.

Holy shit this hit me hard. It was like some one had flicked a switch marked DO NOT SELF REPAIR. Having to wear reading glasses sucks balls.
AllTheGoodOnesWereGone
Honestly it takes at least til 50 for the engine to flame out and then you can coast for another decade before things begin to decline a bit. The knowledge and wisdom/experience you gain as you get older outweighs the loss of your 20yo body.
muffingirlization
44 here. Don't know how I've made it this far.
DarkMagic1516
That's how I feel every single day.

I'm turning 50 in July and feel the same way. I had life threatening depression as a teen, so was "certain" I wouldn't make to 30 let alone grey hair age.

Nostradamuswaswrong
Pretty much.
snone31350
Weird was making to 35 I figured I'd be dead by then.
MoonMoon89
Shoot, I'm not too far from fifty, and I never thought I'd make it to 30. Take care of your teeth!
Baron29
Guess I'm lucky, but I didn't feel particularly old at 40. The wheels didn't start to fall off until after 50
StevenNumber3
The change from 30 to 40 years old isn't profound. Even the change from fourth to 50 is in small increments. But hitting 60 is a bitch. Body really starts to give you problems.
MountainPsycho
Whelp, I’m fucked then. My backs been messed up for a week because I farted too hard.
JiffyGee
I didnt think I’d last past 25. I’m gonna be 43 this year.
Roqinn
I recently turned 55 and my 77 year old mom still asks me what I want for my birthday. I buy what I want, when I want it. I don't want or need anything mom! Please keep your money and use it for yourself! That is what would make me happy!

Every day is another blessing.

40s is like your 30s but with money
BigVag
Not if you have kids
InspiringBadger
Hell yeah! I just got 40, and so far it's going pretty well!
Zreen
I mean, right now my 30s are like my 20s but with money. Not a lot of money, just enough to survive. Which is better than when I was in my 20s

Upvote because I thought of this too
APassingPlasticBag
That’s what people said about my 30s and 20s…I’m seeing the pattern
CanIGetSomeExtraSalt
well eventually you get to die, so there's light at the end of the tunnel

I turned 40 after getting divorced and during the pandemic. I went to work that day, had dinner alone, answered a bunch of "happy birthday" texts and went to bed. By 40 your birthday is just another day
zoeytg
Pretty much. My 40th is later this year. Never liked making it a big deal.
seenunseen
I turned 40 that same year. I was bedridden because i almost lost my foot in a freak accident. I still have my foot though, i can't feel it, but i have it :)
Comet260
Are you sure you still have it, though? What if it's a hallucination?
maeta
Is it weird to say this happened to me by age 17
Daarst
Look at you getting happy birthday texts.
sadurdaynight
start to shift from birthdays to milestone events. Like, the "I can't read fine print anymore, and have to buy a pair of readers" milestone. Or the "shit, how many surgeries have I had now?" milestone. The surgery one is especially fun, b/c your first major surgery is like "omg, everyone pray for me!". But, after several you're like "ugh, let's get this over with". The "my knees make cracking noises when I do squats" one was fun. ugh
uplookdont
LOL by 20 birthdays wee just another day
GaiusWydra
Turned 40 last year, and as I have for the last eight years, I take the day off. Even from farm chores. I spend the day doing whatever I want
Iaskdumbquestions
You turned 40 eight times?
