        I’m in my 40s and incredibly comfortable, money isn’t an issue at all. Bit numb to life, though but I was living out of my car in my 20s.

            Can I give less fucks than now? We’ll, I look forward to numbness subsiding.

          That rings really true. I’ve got a few more health issues, but nothing terrible. My material and financial situation is so much better than in my 20s. But still, I’m just a bit numb about enjoying things and kinda nostalgic for when I felt more. And I miss all of the easy friendships from my college and post college years.

            I think that’s why some of us spend $300 to buy a GI Joe tiger force helicopter. To try and feel that joy you did so many years ago. Don’t feel depressed, just maybe that I’ve experience so many things that the fun has gone away. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      I agree. I finally have the money to do the things I wish I could have done in my 20s. The problem now is that my body isn’t quite what it used to be.

    Looks pretty fucking great to me honestly. Hanging out at home. Got some snacks, a good game. A comfy couch. A little drink.

    Anybody saying the anythings are the best time of your life is a fucking liar. You won’t know what was the best time of your life until it’s over.

    I was told that my school age was the best time of my life. This coincided with the time of my life whereinwas bullied to te point of multiple suicide attempts that went unreported because my parents and guardians thought it was embarrassing

    People who say “XX Years are the best” have simply fucked up and like to think of their past. It is stupid nonsense.

    My 20s were a bit of a shitshow, actually. Had that partially developed brain making a lot of stupid choices and I had no clue who I really was or what I wanted. My 30s have been a lot better, even accounting for the fact that I got divorced. I turn 40 soon and I’m hopeful for the next decade. I fully expect to give my last fuck sometime soon.

    They meant back in the day when a 20 year old could get a bullshit job, and still be paid enough to party, travel, buy nice things and save for a bit for a house.

    Hate when people say a certain time period of your life should be the best time of your life. Childhood, teenage years, 20s… High school, college… It doesn’t matter. Your life is yours and it’s different than anyone else’s. You’re allowed to have different points in your life when it’s good and bad. Don’t feel like you’re missing out because of some pointless, arbitrary rule that says this is supposed to be the best point in your life.

    I miss having free time, you can pirate fine here so as a teen I consumed a lot of media without any money.
