I see you've expanded from crappy political takes to crappy personal takes.
This post sounds like you make some poor life decisions. Which is par for the course of your ilk, make everyone suffers as much as you.
p.s. No one believes your sports car story.

Whether it happened or not isnt the point dimwit. Having a vision for each phase of life and acting on it to set up the next phase is whats important. Stop being a victim and take some control of your life. Take all blame for your mistakes and give others credit for helpi g you get where you want to be. Start by studyi g the Bible in depth and listen to Dave Ramsey for example and maybe you can be in a position to create a story like his, real or not.
At least look in the mirror daily and say to yourself...Get busy living or get busy dying.
An over generalization.
At 45 years old you can still be very fit (if not PR shape)
Your kids can be older teenagers and thus largely self sufficient and often, depending on how you raised them, not bad to just hang out with.
Your mental capacities will still be at their peak.
Your career is established, your house hopefully paid off and you have a good amount of disposable income to throw around.
Middle age is depressing wrote:
- No more PRs
- Still a long way from retirement
- Parents and other older relatives start dying
- Having to deal with teenage kids (for parents) or loneliness (for singles)
Discus(s).
- Age grades are forever.
- Not if you play your cards right
- Children are born and grandchildren are coming
- Teenage kids are a delight
Don't be such a downer. I have had hardship and disappointment, but I've loved each of my five decades more than the last, and I don't see that changing. Learn to live with the bad and take responsibility for making your life better.
Almost at end but have really enjoyed these years. Honestly they have been flying by. So many good times.

I've noticed a pattern where almost all of the people who doubt me or have doubted me are losers themselves. I guess they can't understand and comprehend success themselves. I do receive a lot of support and belief from successful people though and that's who I would rather surround myself with. Lesson: if you want to succeed, ensure that your peers are primarily successful people.

Some would say this is when you're close to or at your earnings peak and the most capable in terms of getting younger ladies (if you're single). If you like your job, the distant retirement aspect is not so bad. Your parents starting to get old might be the only unequivocal downside to this thing. If kids are raised well, there generally shouldn't be a concern about them being little $hits when growing up.
You are certainly right. I'm going on 30 and now more than ever have my choice of women because I have money. I feel as if I can talk to most women and get them to come with me. One time I talked to a young woman who brushed me off then I walked to my sports car and she said, "hey wait is that your car?" Then suddenly she became real interested and she hopped in the front seat. Ridiculous. I said, "hey I thought you didn't want me." She replied, "well actually I changed my mind." Ridiculousness, which is also a great TV show.
LOL. Making up stuff to try and sound better only to come off as even more pathetic.
You can’t get girls, so you rent a sports car and pound your chest because you found a brainless bimbo into material things.
Your parents really need to limit your internet time.
There was a widely-distributed study and corresponding graph on happiness and age a few years ago.
The happiness curve bottoms out at 51 (on average).
Happiness peaks around late childhood (9-12) and peaks again with old age. In fact, if I remember correctly happiness continued to increase past 70 on a linear trajectory. 90 was the happiest point in the chart.
The biggest drops in happiness occur after college (22-23) and in mid to late 30s.
Every age is bad (and good) in its own way. Make the best of it.
Though the 35-50 age range can be great, I think the best age bracket is 18-21. Shammy falls into that bracket and look at how happy he is and how full of vigor his trolling seems.

+1.
Also- always stay principled and strive to do the right thing, even if it may delay the results you’re after.
Young girls love guys in this range. What are you talking about. Stop being a little beach and get laid.
well we found Steve the addict's main account.

because trying to impress people on the internet is trait of a successful person.

Steve goes home DEVASTATED!!!
I recently turned 33. I'm unemployed with an MSc in nuclear engineering. Never been able to put my physics degree to use either and have never earnt more than minimum wage. Can't see a future at the moment.
On the plus side I am 145 lbs at 6 ft and have barely aged in the past 15 years except for receeding hair.
If you are a pervert then sure, go for young girls. I personally prefer women.
What a sad post. Find other things in your life that brings you enjoyment. Raise a family, explore new hobbies, make new friends.
Jez Cst. First of all, after 50 is when all the co-morbidities start showing up. HTN, DM, arthritis, you name it. Enjoy your last healthy years (on average). For most, I would say >50 is more relevant for the family members going down hill. Obviously different depending how old they were when you were born. Enjoy this time, its all relative. My 80 y/o patients tell me Im so young (53). I look at 35-50 as young now.
I'm 37. My path has been a little less conventional, which might account for my seeing things differently. I was a decent collegiate runner, but suffered a lot of injuries after college. I've had numerous orthopedic surgeries, and quit running for good a few years back because of this. However, I took up cycling and lifting weights, and now I can regularly get new PRs. The PRs are modest, but since I relatively new at both disciplines, I think I will be able to continue to PR for years to come. It is also a fun challenge to learn and try new athletic pursuits.
I like my job and it is challenging and rewarding. My wife is just 29 is she is gorgeous. We have been together ten years and no post-nuptial shutoff yet. In fact, it keeps getting better.
We have a one-year-old who is a lot of fun and makes my life much more enjoyable. In regards to teenagers, I teach high school and for the most part enjoy that age group. They can be quite difficult, but it is an age that needs a lot of guidance and really has a desire for consistent and trustworthy role models. I find a lot of purpose in striving to be a role model for them, while teaching them how to think for themselves and preparing them for college, trade school, or the working world. I think that will help with my own kid when he is a teenager.
Financially, I know I likely won't be wealthy; however, my wife and I have lived pretty frugally since we got married and we recently paid off our house and have no debt. Hopefully we will have some financial freedom going forward.
Things can always change for the worse, but I think mindset is important, and 35-50 does not have to be terrible.
