Midlife crisis
Well it happened. I knew I couldn't put it off much longer...I turned 25.
 Since I conservatively put my lifespan at 50 years I decided to go on a trip. Booked a flight over to AMS the first week of November to see if I still can hang with the young whippersnappers. I may have lost a step or two, but I can still hang with the best of them. Here's to getting old.

Hey, you're still in the party mode. Keep it up & enjoy life. One day you'll hardly be able to remember "back when." Happy BD!

Honestly, I didn't plan on making it past 30! Kinda amazed how well I'm doing at 55 considering. 25? You must have forgot the green type.

You will be amazed when you get into your "old age" of late 40s how young 50 seems. You may decide to try for another 25 or more years past the first 1/2 century. The year 2037 seem like forever away. It will be here before you know it.
Party on!

Don't drink and drive. Get a designated driver to drive u around. Then u might live till 30 if your body allows it LOL. Leave the mid life crisis to the 50 year olds.I think u worry too much. Yes have fun while u are young. The youngest person I knew who died of being alcoholic was 50. You came to the wrong forum with a question like that because many of us are 60 plus. Mind u if u have a question, we have answers. Mind u I don't like all the answers I get from my questions but they somehow enrich my life.

That's funny; I had my "quarter life crisis" at 25.
Guess I'm just more optimistic. I bought a sport bike. Maybe I'm not so optimistic after all.

Ahhh, my youngest son is now pushing 27, damn, now I am feeling old.
I already finished up my first sorta career by 25 and got married at 27 with first child in tow. Seriously, you ain't seen nothing yet. Enjoy the good times, they really get better and you will live past 50.

For some reason 25 hit me hard. I have now realized that starting today I am now closer to 30 then 25. That's huge to me.
I have a whole lot more to fufill by the time I turn 30 so the next 5 years should be one hell of a ride. And I hope you guy's know that I am just messing with the old statement. Some of the most fun I have ever had in my life is with guys 40+ so I know I have a whole lot to look forward too.
