[quote=Anonymous]That you’ll no longer be able to mentally double your age and persuade yourself that you’ve only lived half your life. That whatever kind of physical decline you think you’re experiencing in your forties, it accelerates considerably in your fifties. That if you still have great sex with your partner, lean into it because libido falls off a cliff with menopause. That now is the time to concentrate on making money, whatever else is going on in your life. The future you who wants to have the option of retiring early at 60 or 62 will thank you. That you can have young kids in your forties but you are going to be twice as tired as parents who are in their twenties, so prepare yourself mentally and physically. That you think you’re old but you’re really not. At 55 or 60, you are going to feel that the 40 year old you is just a wizened version of the young you. By your mid fifties you’ll be looking at a preview of the elderly you in the mirror.[/quote]
