[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would tell the 35 year old me to enjoy this time. It may not look like it now but this as good as its going to get for a long time (20 years of downhill, so far). That includes finances, health, fun times and relationships.[/quote] Why is that? I understand health going downhill, but why the other things (relationships, fun times)?[/quote] Our careers stalled about that time and our household income never got back to that level. The grind of taking care of aging/dying parents, challenging kids and finances in the toilet add stress to just about everything. There are moments that are wonderful but the overall landscape generally sucks.[/quote] I am 35 and I too have had to take care of aging/dying parents, while handling a newborn and a toddler. My husband just began his medical residency. So the landscape can suck much earlier; it depends how your life plays out. I'm hoping my 50s are better.[/quote]
