Why is 50 so feared?
|

I just can't figure out what it is about the age 50 that makes so many people freak out. I turn 50 next month and people have started teasing me about it and it doesn't bother me. I like my life, I have my family and friends, a job I enjoy to keep me busy. I can watch my kids and know we've done a good job and look forward to grandkids, what is there not to like?

I freaked out at 40. Now I'm nearing 50 and I feel great. I am just happy to be alive
There is something to be said about the simple pleasures in life like sleeping, taking a breath, eating a good meal, enjoying a sunny day and more. Life is great!

Up until 50 your body is just quietly tagging along. After 50 it's like a once quiet wife that starts letting you know ALL the stupid stuff you did to it the past 50 years! It can remember that slide into 3rd, that side kick you were not quite fast enough to dodge, that cut you tried to make on that wet field, when you dumped that cycle...

Most of the fear nowadays is economic. Between worrying about health coverage and whether or not you'll get kicked to the curb for someone younger and cheaper, it's a tough time for a lot of folks.
All imo of course.
But you own your own business so it's not as big a deal to you. And business is good if I remember correctly. Grats on your hard work. Consider it a blessing.
