A question for the over 40's on here.

[Jon MW]

money and life are both over rated

but I've been young and poor, so at least old and rich would be something new to try out

I would be interested to know by whom and how is life is over rated.

Everybody who would take the being young and everybody who would want the extra 20 years added to the end of their life.

You have one life, you have a limited time to get things done and you don't know how long that's going to be.

If you just accept that and try and fit whatever matters to you into your allocated span then job done - if you live life like it's limited it means you never put off for tomorrow what you could do today and life becomes a 'richer' experience because of it.

imo - obv

I would go back to 28, not because I want to live longer, but because I was awesome and in my prime at 28. Powerful, charismatic, extremely attractive, intellectually aglle and a great all round sportsman. Now I'm just probs 90% of that in all those departments

I couldn't fit everything in if I had half a dozen lifetimes.

Maybe by some of the millions living in poverty around the world, then again maybe the many thousands living in the UK who suffer abuse of al lkinds on a daily basis?

The many thousands in the UK who suffer mental illness even?

Stats on suicides in the UK alone provide evidence that some agree with Jon

I would have thought that those are precisely the people who don't rate life very highly.

Because I want to know who over rates life, as per Jon's post. The people you are talking about don't rate life very highly

You have one life, you have a limited time to get things done and you don't know how long that's going to be.

Limited, but not predetermined.

Most of us could add probably 10 quality years on at the end with a few pretty simple lifestyle choices but, even though we know this, we tend not to bother, or to go some of the way.

We want to go back for the extra years, yet we scorn the possibility we already have to add them.
