To me, midlife represents the BEST TIME EVER! LOL

I am feeling better, looking better and experiencing more joy and contentment since turning 50 than ever before, & credit that to a focus on enjoying life, looking for the gift in all situations, and liking and accepting myself more now than ever in the past.

Life really can improve with age!

Hi Tonya, this is a subject that is close to my heart and there is a lot of wisdom in your foresight and determination to prepare for future. I thought you would enjoy this article and the accompanying video. It dispels many of the common misconceptions about aging and shows that you can have more control than most people realize.

Hi Jon, It’s amazing to know that you are so inspired to share all that you know about a transitional period that we will all experience in life. In the year 2013, my husband and I will be celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. We will be 43 years old at that time and our 4 children will be adults. I have read several online articles about the midlife crisis and have had several discussions with my husband to inform him that there are things we need to do right now to prepare ourselves for that time such as paying off debt, saving more money, retirement planning, proper diet & exercise to stay in good health, planning trips together, becoming grandparents, and generally being at a happy point in our lives having freedom from stress & financial burden. My husband likes to spend money and has a materialistic attitude and seems non-enthusiastic preparing for the best time of our lives. I was so happy to find your article and I look forward to sharing it with him because you have so many great points that I believe would help him see the big picture. What you do now in your life will affect your future. If you fail to plan you are planning to fail. Thank you so much.

Hi Celes, it’s amazing how some people are old at 30 while others are young at 80. I have a friend who is 88 and his love of life and people is enough to inspire anyone. Hopefully your attitude will inspire your friends so they start enjoying life instead of wasting their time waiting to die
