What age did you start feeling life was finally sorted?

[Justsorted]

To ask…what age (if at all) did you finally feel like everything was sorted, all was in place and you had it pretty much (as much as you can I suppose) all figured out!? I’m 41 and finally just feeling that way, after a fairly tumultuous few years, and years before that of waiting for one thing to happen before I can sort the next. I finally finally feel sorted with my family, my home, my job, finances etc etc. Now I appreciate things can change at any moment but it’s the peace I feel that I’m not waiting, I’m not striving and stressing, I can just live. I didn’t think it would take this long. What about you?

At about 70 😂😂

46 and still waiting

I suppose in a way I have come to terms with how my life is. I've accepted certain things I might have wanted aren't going to happen now. Instead I try to be grateful for what I do have.

Like it's easy to feel the country is shit right now. There's a lot we could complain about! But I actually know two people who were here illegally, one left voluntarily, the other was deported. They would have given their right arm to be able to stay. So I know there's definitely worse places to live.

If I think of what I do have, I am lucky. I dont feel I'm waiting for the next struggle. I live by "cross that bridge when you come to it". Until then I dont think about what could go wrong.

Started to feel settled 40ish but sadly things went downhill late 40s and still unsettled - I’m 50 now. I also had a settled period early 30s so maybe it comes and goes. Just seems to be a lot of change and problems recently, unfortunately.

I'm 36 and still wish there was an adultier adult to tell me what to do 😂

The day I retired at 56 after 40 years of work.

30 (I’m 30 now)
life transformed financially
single mum with good ex dh to ds 3
mind is settled

Probably about 28, it’s been quite smooth sailing since the. I’m 41 now. Under no illusion that life can shit on you on an instant though.

58 and still waiting.
I've got some bits all sorted, but definitely not everything.

Same...

60 ..... divorced and happy with life. 9 years later still single and still happy.

I’m 48 and my life is still in limbo.

Still waiting...

Im 33 and 'sorted' in the sense that we are married, both have stable careers with a good income, own our home (with mortgage) have a child and another on the way. We are comfortable and settled. However I absolutely hate my job so will likely be uprooting all of that soon 😅

😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂

51 and still waiting

About then,but l don't have children.

Ds was 3. I'd left his dad, we'd come back to our home town, I'd bought the house that would be our home for 15 years.

I had a good job, ds had a place in a tiny village primary with an ASC, I was free of all the people who had let us down over the years and we settled down to enjoy home life. 😊

I’m 53 and I’m still not sure my life is sorted

51 this week and I have never felt settled and sorted, apart from a brief period during 2021/22. I thought this year might be the year but the war may cause my business to go tits up.

I got there in my mid-40s but then had to leave my job in my mid-50s and haven’t been able to find another one for over a year. So now I don’t think I have it sorted at all.

65 and still wondering

74, I’ll let you know. Mind you, I finally understand my gran who said, c90 yrs old, “I’ve finally got the house how I want it”. She’d moved in in 1935.

I'm 65. One thing sorts and another thing starts.

DC progressed from nursery to infants to juniors to secondary to uni to work from gfs and bfs to dils and prospective sils.

DS will be a father soon, dd married, mother and mil are in their twilights.

It's never all sorted, it just changes.

We have had such a run of bad luck in the last few years, health issues, redundancies and currently dealing with another redundancy so 55 and 60 and still nowhere near sorted. Should have had mortgage paid off by now.
