Now that you are an older person, is your life what you envisioned 20-30 years ago? Is it better or worse?

Definitely NOT worst.
I say my life is better. I am retired so no more getting up early in the morning as I am not a morning person. I am financially comfortable so no financial worries. I still look good (hot as a matter of fact haha) at 73 so not a lot of complaints in that department thanks to good genes and not-so-healthy living. It would have been much better if my husband was alive and well, but we had a good life. And now it's my turn to live life on my own... so far so good. So I say better.

Now that you are an older person, is your life what you envisioned 20-30 years ago? Is it better or worse? I thought I'd see positive proof of who killed JFK, RFK, and MLK by now. |

I expected to still be married. That went bye-bye.
I knew I'd still be riding, that's a plus. When my dad became widowed at my age, the women went chasing after him. I expected that to happen to me. Silly me. I expected that women would be a little more receptive towards me and be easier to date. Nope. If anything, they got way worse. They just got more difficult to be around. Not that I wanted to, but I had to toss the whole idea of just dating out the window. I've got a paid for house, few bills, paid for vehicles, and money in the bank. At least that part worked out. And, I get to read stories about women bellyaching about how their are no dateable men, and know that they couldn't be more wrong if they wanted to be. |

Not where I expected to be but I'm mostly in a good place.
Marriage is over....that's a good thing. Own my own home....good thing but not paid for yet which isn't good. Moved.......Love being in a small town but only 15 minutes from the city. Awesome location. Dating a great guy for 8 months........happy but surprised to find someone at my age. Caring for an adult grandchild with special needs.........it's difficult but **** happens and it's OK. All in all, I'm happy about where my life has taken me. |

I'm good! Better!
cos i'm free, to do what I want any old time...... Free to eat cheese, pickled onions and crackers in bed. Free to wallow in the bath for an hour eating jelly snakes. Free to stay up most of the night laughing with friends. Free! free! free! FREE! I tell you! Free!!! what's left to pay on the house is minimal, Only need to work part time, fit, healthy, and a little smarter than I was 20-30 years ago. I've been worse.:) It's about what I wanted by the time I was 50. It's about 5 years late. but...

ty but its all good : ) Well dat if this helps any you're exactly the age I was when I found out I was going to be a daddy. I truly thought it would never be, my daughters mother who is 13 years younger than me and I were together for 16 years. My daughter and only child will be 15 in November and I'll be 63 in about 3 weeks. Being a daddy is an incredible experience and maybe it's a good thing I didn't know how cool it is or I might have had a whole herd of kids. But now my #1 goal is to be the best dad I can be and the kid is my reason for living. |

worse they have no resecpt for any one or anybody they don't even resecpt themselves, they have morals or values and no common courtesy whatsoever. to many are still living at home with mom. not all but alot are. then again every generation always said the one comming behind them are lost and don't have it
