I don't think the oldies will notice

You probably cant do this but perhaps bold the "60". Put it in a different colour?

I know... put "Country Kitchen Buffet" in the thread title, that'll get them to notice.

 

[skilts]

skilts is a grumpy old bastard.

Coming from you, I'll take that as an unalloyed compliment.

 

[skilts]

Oh yeah real mature

Why, thank you. It would appear I've got up your nose at some time. Well done me.

 

[skilts]

i hope my thread title doesn't make you feel discriminated against

Not at all. I'm used to being ignored. I've lived with women for a large proportion of my life.

If I knew what that was I think I would resemble that remawk

It's more the feeling you have in your 20s, less than what you accomplish or do in that decade

weird seeing people measuring their quality of life by drugs, sex and holidays.

It’s called living Barry

In my late 20's- As the OP mentioned I'm filled with anxiety and self doubt about what I'm doing. Had two jobs in 3 years (saved heaps) but wouldn't mind brining up the 30's more settled.

Would like to hear more/updated opinions on this here premise

This may seem counter-intuitive at first, but have you travelled? Specifically in countries far less developed than Australia? The lack of stability, the uncertainty of living in dodgy accomodations and with unreliable, almost non-existent public transport options; in some people it breeds a grounded sense of self-reliance that you may not otherwise have known you'd had.

It might put shit into perspective when you return and you might see the vast array of things that no longer really matter.

Or, you might be like me and the main thing that changes is getting pissed off paying $12 for some shite at a food court not half as good as the $2 stuff you bought the week before.

30s is 2014 onward.

Doesn't seem a particularly happy era in general. In my 20s winning the Bledisloe was a thing. Cricket team was awesome, soccer team made the World Cup for the first time in 30 years, we were still good at the Olympics too.

Now we're a rugby joke, the cricket team cheats and loses, Socceroos are back at Frank Farina levels, and we get flogged by Team GB at the Olympics FFS. And the less said about all our male tennis players the better. At least the Boomers are better than ever. Mainly due to NBL imports having babies in the 90s.

That's just sport but society doesn't seem as positive as even 5, 10 years ago. People are either genuinely worried about the environment, corrupt financial system etc or getting offended about gender pronouns and other bullshit. Social media was new and exciting in my 20s. Now a good deal of people are well and truly over it.

20's - Energy but not the money to do things.
30's - Getting the money but losing the energy
40's - Have the money but no energy
50's - A cruise from Brisbane to Hobart is now as far as you're willing to travel

I know people in their 60s who still trek through airports around the world and travel abroad.

I'm finding friendships are a rare commodity when you get a bit older. In high school you see everyone for 7 hours a day five days a week. No escape. The real friendships last past high school. Once everyone starts studying or working it takes a bit of getting used to. Between 19-22 my mates and I didn't get to catch up all that much as we adjusted to adult life. 23 onwards has been the opposite. I see my mates more frequently than I have in years. Now that we've all adjusted to adult life and aren't either living at home, broke or studying 24/7, catch ups are far more regular. However new friendships are harder to form. No one past 23 seems open to meeting someone new and getting to know them well. I have work acquaintances who don't seem to care to get to know me better. Whether that's because I'm me or not, who knows, it just seems odd. I don't like humans but I'm open to a new friendship if I get along well with someone.

Don't isolate yourself too much, that can be dangerous mentally

 

[The Dice Man]

40's.. Prostate checks and cameras up your penis, plus sperm examinations which mean going into a room and ... well you know.

Thats my life last few months. Although there is a reward that I've checked out fine in all areas, much to my surprise. Downside is as you age there will be more invasions.

Time needs a good brick to the head!

Don't be bitter and resentful, be open to people. If you continue with this mentality you'll find yourself as a 35 year old on some foreveralone incel forum where people plan school shootings.

30s is shaping to be better than the 20s. And loads better than the teens, although it started off shit.

25-26 years old life was awesome but all around that my 20s was tarred with poorly thought out decisions, lack of direction in life, career and employment hardship.

I live overseas and have no interest in the return to Australia to have kids and mortgage......especially given the country is in for more economic doom and gloom and I have experienced it first hand as a graduate job seeker!

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Unless you were a prince with people queuing up to fornicate there's something wrong if your teen years were a high point. Likely you regret having a kid in your mid-20s or the mortgage for your piece of outer suburbia is a little too high.

 

[perthblue]

You peaked in high school
