52 Answers
I am trying to grasp and eventually change the perception of being middle aged for a university project.
For the purpose of my research, I have narrowed down middle age from 40-60.
Step 1: Choose your age group below.
Step 2: Answer the corresponding question in one or two sentences.
Step 3: Post your response, along with your exact age.
You are aged 18-39:
In one or two sentences, what are your expectations of life in your middle aged years (40-60)? Good or bad?
You are aged 40-59:
What are your enjoying/less enjoying at your current age?
You are aged 60+:
In one or two sentences, what advice would you give your younger self?
Many thanks,
Undergraduate student, Essex

Hi rose, I am a fifty two year old lady so my answer to your question might be.....Since being fifty years old , I am more i inclined to lead a slightly hedonistic lifestyle ! I have my life's' experience and wisdom ( or not ) to enable me to relax and enjoy life. I dress in the same style as I always have , and look after my body better than I did in my youth.
Have already submitted one, but now for OH
60+ After many years of worrying about growing old and deciding I should slow down, I have taken the Bull by the horns and gone into overdrive. Got a lot fitter, walked to Everest Base camp this year, Walked the Atlas mountains, Snowdon, SW Coastal path. Next year 3 peaks challenge and Kili. Down side like Sally have to manage backs issues.

To the young me I would advise carry on exactly as you are - enjoying yourself, being devil may care and throwing caution to the wind because when you get older your responsibilities are going to tie you down for a long time and when your responsibilites get less but you still feel the same mentally as you did when you were young, your bloomin' creaky body will stop you in your tracks!!
