25 minimum, no upper limit. Throwing away life experience and wisdom just to silence opposition to nEw AnD fReSh IdEaS is incredibly foolish.

Reply to What are some good excuses to cancel dinner with friends? by itsjulius12

None. If it’s an excuse they’re not friends. You have reasons to cancel or you don’t. “Hey, I need to take a mental health night. I’d make it if I was in the right headspace. Sorry.”

I know from experience most of my “friends” in my teens and twenties wouldn’t accept that. Today, I either get “alright, we’ll catch up” and then we catch up or I get an offer “I just wanted to hang with you. Would it help if I just brought over a couple of beers?” Life gets real and real friends get that.

It served as an emergency hideout for dinosaurs. Some of them are still out there.

I’m good with 65. You shouldn’t be making decisions you won’t be around to experience the impact of.

Reply to What was a key turning point in your life that permanently changed it for better or for worse? by ad_imperator

Almost dying of pulmonary emboli. Really puts into perspective what’s important and what’s not. Realized I was living my life for other people and not for myself. Needless to say as soon as I was healthy again I stopped that shit in its tracks. Now I live for me and no one else. Also, I work to live not live to work. When you realize how short your time is you don’t want to spend it making someone else rich or missing out on experiences for a few extra dollars.
