Any point living past 50? srs

**GMiscer** · 03-04-2021, 05:52 PM

By then you're well past your peak and on the decline

Nothing is new or fresh anymore

If you're a careercel then you've probably maxed out your career potential and are phasing out toward retirement

You've been there, done that with your life experiences...and are just basically slowly fading towards the end

**FmrD3LB** · 03-04-2021, 05:54 PM

Hell no I plan on living life to the max in my 50s

38 now so not too far away

**Mulloway69** · 03-04-2021, 05:54 PM

N/A:

Spoiler!

**DizzySmalls** · 03-04-2021, 05:54 PM

Implying that was a point to living before 50?

**bfdehewdbyywhn** · 03-04-2021, 05:55 PM

I’d agree with you if you said 30

**kimm4** · 03-04-2021, 05:56 PM

New hobbies, I'm back in school, etc...fuk I'm just getting started.

**nosirrahx** · 03-04-2021, 05:59 PM

I don't know why people think this. Most of the really happy people I know are my age or older.

**Issobolic28** · 03-04-2021, 05:59 PM

5 more years for me! I'm stoked!

I won't lie --- I often have dreams of passing away peacefully before I get old. I don't want to be old!

But on a more serious note - a lot of people 50+ tend to be religious for a reason. They're seeing death right in front of them, and they realize that all they did in life will basically get away by the tide. Friends, money, education, family ... nothing will be there anymore for you after death. Older people go religious to think about what exists hereafter.

**Jandels** · 03-04-2021, 06:03 PM

Honestly brah, in my teens/twenties I felt the same way, and I made choices and lived my life accordingly.

Not anymore. I want to be here for my family

Aging is a privilege not many get to have. Be grateful.

Sure, but think in terms of sports --

Between retiring after a championship year or retiring when you're a shell of what you once were ... wouldn't you rather go out on top?

**ChelshireCat** · 03-05-2021, 02:09 PM

Free bus pass?

**StoneColdMarko7** · 03-05-2021, 02:54 PM

I have been thinking for some time of not wanting to live after around 60 or something like that. Op is right. Being old sucks I dont want to get old

**ramimotemem** · 03-05-2021, 03:01 PM

While we're at it, any point in living at all ?

Without God / Heaven / etc. --- the answer is really no.

You're born, you live a short time (relatively speaking), you die. End of story. But if there's a God, then you get a semblance of permanence, importance, etc.

This.

I know someone whose Mother died when she was a young child and her Mother would have really wanted to watch all her kids grow up and become successful well adjusted adults and to meet all her Grandchildren.

She also managed to teach all her kids how to read and write by the time they were in kindergarten which put them ahead of the curve.

For me personally I have so many goals and projects it will take me decades to finish them all.

Live long and prosper.

50+

DGAF and nothing to prove, more chill
Imparting wisdom
Kids, grandkids, being an elder
Respect from work and society if you have advanced yourself
Money that you should have saved up to enjoy

**Vexidi** · 03-05-2021, 03:13 PM

Nope. 7 more years and its the rope for me.

**Kev1972** · 03-05-2021, 03:43 PM

I'm just looking forward to saying this when people ask my age:

I saw some Grandpa on a Hong Kong newspaper that apparently has completed 90 video games in the last years. So persumably, the lifestyle you *probably* lived in your teens or concurrently can be done in your old age. You just can't pound back Monster Energy Drinks or cheetos without getting high blood pressure..

**wasp9166** · 03-05-2021, 04:14 PM

To feel the pain

You gota move ,everyday at least 30-45 minutes

After that ,you can game all day if you want

You can't not exercise or eat like sh

After 45 ,your body is working against you

Not gonna lie tho,the daily pain is a mfer ,and I got ten more years of construction

54

Yeah, it's like a second life.

I joined an adventure club, I'm back playing in tennis league and have the time to see female friends again.

I love how one 50 year old woman I know got divorced and is skiing, backpacking, kayaking or doing some adventure every weekend along with weights during the week, and posts that she's "livingherbestlife".

Some guys on here would say cope, but IDGAF.

**wutevs** · 03-05-2021, 11:59 PM

I didn't reach 50 to just give up on life man... gotta wait till at least 55 so that I can enjoy the senior discount at IHOP for a few years.

**wave_length** · 03-06-2021, 12:11 AM

I told my wife I'll be 50 next year. She looked at me as if I'd gone crazy. The point is, as long as you have a happy, healthy, fulfilled life, age really is irrelevant. We rarely think about it.
