As I said in another thread, I'm 37, I'm not old, I'm lower middle age. I make noise sitting down but I don't make noise putting my feet up yet.

I'll be 37 soon, I was doing well untill my motorcycle accident. Even in full gear a lot of stuff broke that shit aged me fast. That being said my best friend is 22 and I can still beat his ass at most games.

I turned 37 recently, and fortunately both of my motorcycle accidents were relatively minor lowsides at ~20mph so I think most of me is 37 and my right knee is 41 years old.

Some lady on a phone basically ran me off the road and fled the scene. 4 ribs broken, fractured scapula, and a partial lung collapse along with soft tissue damage all on the right side. Oh and my left thumb broke and needed surgery. Kept the helmet though, did it's job admirably.

Same. I'm 35 and I've only been independent for 5 years as well. This is the new norm. Adulting is expensive. 30 isn't old; you're just starting your life.

exactly

i got married last year

im literally a level 1 husband.

Im a level 32 human but only a level 6 Adult, really. I moved out at 22 but spent the first 3 years partying and barely making rent

I think 25 was the year i started actually trying to do a good job at life, so im still pretty new at it
