And how do you feel about it?

My next one is 60 - eeek 😬
But as the saying goes, it's better than the alternative right?

70 . Not happy about it. It's a few years away though.

LarryIsMyRomanEmpire · 12/11/2025 16:41

50 I'm fine about it.

50 in three years and three months. I'm feeling pretty positive about it as I've given myself a career deadline to reach by that point.

40 in 2 years. I was very stressed about turning 30 but I'm pleased with how this decade has turned out. Always had a good feeling about my forties.

50 in March and I’m looking forward to it. Was diagnosed with breast cancer at 42 so at the risk of sounding cheesey growing old is a privilege.

HungreeHipp0 · 12/11/2025 16:47

40 in the New Year. Feel ok about it. I have purposefully made plans as I've never celebrated a birthday before.

Alpacajigsaw · 12/11/2025 16:47

NormasArse · 12/11/2025 16:54

60, next year.

I have a full year of wonderful things planned!!

visionpools · 12/11/2025 16:55

30, I’m very excited I’ve heard they’re much better than your 20’s.

weericky · 12/11/2025 16:55

50 soonish and I am looking forward to it. I have changed my life this year in so many ways, I feel like I’m living and not just existing. Bring on the age, I can take it and tbh I’m lucky to have got this far.

Wishmyhousewasbigger · 12/11/2025 16:55

80 in two years time, “if I’m spared!”

Topseyt123 · 12/11/2025 16:59
  1. Next August.
tobee · 12/11/2025 16:59

60 in 2 and a bit years!

I used up all my happy about it bravado when I was 50. The worst so far was 40 because everyone else I knew had done it way before me and to them my angst was all "yeah, whatever!" lol

VIOLETPUGH · 12/11/2025 17:03

60 December 2026 OMG !!!!

Hollyhobbi · 12/11/2025 17:05

DappledThings · 12/11/2025 17:14

50 in 4 years. Don't really think anything particularly about it. It really is just a number to me

DontGoJasonWaterfalls · 12/11/2025 17:14

40, I've got 9 years to go though so I won't stress just yet 🤣
