Posted: 6/21/2006 2:38:31 PM | I haven't noticed too much of a change except that I've matured enough that I now have the financial ability to do most anything I care to. I spent my 30s working to get out of the debt incurred during my "gotta have it now" 20s.
Since we humans position ourselves in time based on when we were born, we count by decades the stages of our lives. By 40 a lot of us have gained a new perspective on life especially since we realize that we are at the half-way point of our life expentancy. Therefore, I think we tend to reavaluate those things that are important to us and put other things into their proper perspective. Done right, we can "live like no one else" before 40 so we can "live like no one else" afterward. | |

Oh yes they do and I love it.
As for life starting at 40 it all depends what you did with your life before 40. I had fun in my 20's 30's and I am still enjoying life in my 40's. | |

They just want to do more before they get to old to enjoy doing things really thats all it is. Sex is better at 40. Just becuase you decide to start enjoying life and sex more. Its all about changeing your mind set. Simple   | |

Posted: 6/22/2006 12:54:01 PM | | For me, life began when I left home at 20 (yes I know I slacked off for two years, I was a bit late), and despite a few rocks in the road...I have been enjoying life since then. Wow...18 years of good times! Woo hoo! | |

For me that meant goodbye games! | |

Posted: 6/22/2006 10:05:53 PM | | Nope, it doesn't begin at 40. I don't know where you are for age, but it begins there, just maybe in a different way. Not necessarily a worse way, but a different one. I'll be 37 next month, and my life's pretty good. I'm a homeowner, it's a starter home, but I'm heading in the right direction. I'm single, so I spend my weekends doing what I want. I don't go hang out at strip clubs but I find things to do. | |

Posted: 6/22/2006 10:25:56 PM | Yes life does begin at 40!! You know what you want,and what you don't want.confident,spontanious,and can enjoy life.Im happy,have a great career,found turning forty was life changing,all for the positive.Sex drive also high...You are comfortable with who you are and have become,not a girl of 20,you can take on the world,so to speak.Most of my friends also agree, all state sex is even better-stronger sex drive,passionate-they call it -peaking !! Only have heard from one friend that turning forty was a low point,nd that was a age issue-but she also stated sex drive was even stonger-must be the hormonal changes we start to go through-not sure,but who cares,I'll enjoy this for as long as it lasts.. | |

I'm 41, and I was having a hell of a lot more fun in my teens and early 20's. Then again, life is what you make it. I just need to climb out of the rut and get back on board the party train. | |

Except for the lack of blood flow to my feet in the morning, the higher my upstairs got, the way fruit seems to digest and I suggest she gets on top now.............. | |

Well atleast you would THINK most people over 40 over 40 know what they want and stuff, but from many I have seen on here atleast , I doubt it, No offence to them or anything but just an observation. BUt yes i would say typically over 40 people would know better what they want. | |

Posted: 6/23/2006 1:58:53 PM | The only reason that I can think of, that someone would believe a statement like this is, because they want to believe it, and most people believe only what they want to, no? Plus, it sounds pretty good...(so, therefore true to them)
On the other hand, if you want to believe something bad enough (or good enough) and all you have to believe in, is your beliefs, then, this statement might be true to you too...
It's sort of like making a dream or a wish come true..How adept are you at doing that, OR how much can you convince yourself what you believe is true?
Pretty simple..........for me... life began, literally, at the beginning.  
go ahead, condemn me for being so pragamtic..but I just had to....
NO, Life does NOT begin at 40! | |

Posted: 6/23/2006 8:19:53 PM | My life didn't begin at 40 ~ but it certainly gets better the older I am. I agree with other posters here ~ I have a very crystal clear picture of who I am, what I want, what I will NOT settle for and I have a calmness that didn't exist previously. Life (at any age) is what we make it. I for one, wouldn't want to return to my 30's and I definitely wouldn't want to re-live my 20's. It's all about perception. You get out of life what you put into life.  | |
