Without liftoff, what is there? I'm not sure I can handle the 40s thing. I'm not obsessing over it or anything... But people keep telling me how great my life should feel, and it just ain't there. Maybe golf is the ticket - its kept my old man acting 18 for the last 30 years.

You know, so far, life has gotten better as I've gotten older, so I'm not sweating it. I had a great time in college, but I much prefer to be solvent and have more control over my life.
My parents seem to be having a great time in their early/mid 60s, and the only time I remember them slowing down (just a little) was in the mid-70s when they had four kids under the age of five. I have a feeling that's not going to happen to you.
