Let me ruin your day

50 is not middle age. Approximately 35 to 40 is.

The average life expectancy for an average person is between 70 to 80 years age, very few people live to be 100.

All of us are structured to believe 50 is middle age. Because 50 is half than 100 & that half make sense. But in reality if you are in your 30s you are right at the tip or in the middle age. This is considering you actually live past 70.


If you take into context unforeseen passing like a car crash or numerous of other things, that number is significantly lower.

Working til you are 65 to retire is one of the biggest scams on the planet & those who realize, gets out before anyone else.

Life is shorter than you think, so stop putting off things until later.
Going on that trip later
Asking that person out later
Moving into new country later.

Welcome to reality
Enjoy your stay!!!

Well in my mind
40 is the start of middle age, but women live longer than men by an average of 5-7 years so we should get there later 😜 lol

Anyway one of the things about life is that it's all unpredictable. If you die at 40 then your middle age was at 20. It's all about labels. None of that truly matters.

True. Also bear in mind that life expectancy is increasing globally so in 50 years it could be 90 or so. Live in the moment ✌🏽
