Don’t wait to do the things you want to, if you wait until retirement then your body might not be able to do it unfortunately. Live well have fun life is short

Agree with this sentiment. I’m in my 50s and wrestle with the same concepts - I don’t love my job, but it’s a way to support my family and to some degree my lifestyle, and it feels important to at least some people at times. But there’s no point in living for some future retirement. Try to find things every day that bring meaning. I agree with getting outdoors and into nature, which is why we live where we do. Growing weed, like other hobbies I enjoy, has given every day some added meaning in the past year. In more recent years. I’ve certainly become more aware of trying to enjoy at least part of every day rather than looking ahead or hoping for time to pass to get to some future event.

Switched jobs at 43 from factory for 14 yrs to land surveying. I love it. It's tough but rewarding. Leaving a job you don't enjoy for something you like? No brainer. Have your job lined up before quitting. Then quit whenever. Unless you plan on returning there. Then give two weeks.

Life spans are shortening thanks to shitty franken foods and more sedentary lifestyles so don't count on it. My mother, a member of the Greatest Generation, turns 96 this August and is still going strong living with my sister in BC. She's been ready to go for years but still sharp as a tack and cheerful to talk to. Almost totally blind now from macular degeneration but you wouldn't know it to see her helping in the kitchen or working in the garden.

Me, a boomer now 68, will be lucky to make 80 but if I quit smoking maybe a little further.

It's not the span of years you want unless you can maintain good health to the end. Who want's an extra decade if it's spent in agony or severe disability mental or physical.

Be careful what you wish for. ;)

:peace:

40 is the new 30. You're too young to be having a mid-life crisis. That said, get a motorcycle.

Solid advice

For me personally, i didn't think about it until now but I think my home-grow is my midlife crisis. I mean, we've met our main goal of "I don't want to buy herb anymore" but I'm still always looking for better gear, genetics etc. ... The grow has become my "project vehicle" so to speak, and I couldn't be happier.
