No, because then you have to think about settling down and therefore dealing with all the shít you did when you were under 35 - the years wasted, the now recognised alcohol problem, the stupid decisions you've made, etc - in order to actually become a responsible adult for the first time in your life.

Fuck that.

I'm 43 & still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. Look good, feel fit, apart from money I'm happier than I've ever been.

I loved turning 40, 41 was a bitch, total anti climax & a ****ty year, but since turning 42 I'm on the up again.

Life is good, enjoy it while you can.

Fukcen No I agree with the Logan Run philosophy once you reach 35 a light flashes in your hand and you go to carousel to be reborn as a baby.

Its actually alright you still have your hopes dreams and an erection in the morning,

Is that your own erection or sombody elses?

I'm not looking forward to getting old, but I'm actually looking forward to getting older. It's a much calmer and more confident place than being in the head-wrecking early 20s.

Although having said that I heard of a (very popular) man in his late 50s who took his own life last week. It's usually only younger men who take their own lives.

I think 35 is the maximum amount of years that a human can really enjoy life to the fullest,its all downhill from there.

Am i wrong?

So wrong.

44 years old. Happily married. Three kids. Great job. Great friends. Seven figures in the bank. Five bedroom house paid in full.

I'm wondering if you have any idea of what 'enjoy life to the fullest' really means.

Getting old is cool, everyone's doing it.

You're only young...twice

Make the most of what you have and you'll be fine!

Without a doubt, life only really starts to kick off once you've hit your thirties. And from my experience, it gets better with each passing year.

Some people are always young, no matter how old they are. Just like some people are always old and never change.

For sure ...

It's not like you suddenly hit your 40's and stop doing the things you love and enjoy .Hitting 35 is just the time to take stock of what you've done and learned from your own life experiences which will include some ( perhaps many) disappointments along the way ...that goes for everybody regardless of who they are .You also look around and see many happy 40 / 50 year old's who don't have to worry about all that peer pressure '' I must achieve so much '' thing anymore .

Life after 35 is a torturous affair of back pain and doctors giving you pills for just saying hello to them.

By the time you hit 35 you should have done everything you wanted at least once but mostly several times. But you're still young enough to do it all again and again and try new things. It's a good age.

On the other hand age 50 is when it starts to go bad. There are no positive sayings about turning fifty. People don't say; 'Life begins at fifty'. It's more like, life starts to go downhill at fifty. You might want to party but you get sleepy at ten o'clock, the Doctor has you on three tablets a day to keep you alive, you start to fancy older women and then you realise most of them are younger than you, but even if you're up for it they're not The eyesight goes. New devices, like phones and computers begin to baffle you. 35 year olds call you grandad. The stomach get bigger and the chins begin to mount up.

You can pretend you're not middle aged right through your forties but when you hit 50 you're suddenly eligible for all those 'over fifty' plans and holidays. The words 'elderly' and 'pensioner' begin to loom large in our future.

No 35 is a good age.
