Well frankly I feel life is not the same after 40.Your reflexes slow down,you begin to forget things and a lot of grey hairs appear- generally you begin to feel old in conjunction with actually becoming old. But yes, you get a bit wiser about the people around you and the scales fall from your eyes and you see each person to be what they are a little more. The mind does not stay as fresh, it becomes more difficult to accept and implement new ideas.But then who cares, its great to be alive anyway!

Its not actually so fastlike what you expected, maybe it could happen but gradually, let say at 40 your reflexes turn slow then at 50 you're experience memory gaps and also the presense of grey hair and so on,thats a part of life, we have to accept that we're not getting any younger, the important is lets enjoy life, thanks for your absorbing comments, have a great day....

the reason why they say that, its because at 40 a lot of people are already successful when it comes to career and they already have enough money to enjoy life to the fullest. Its also the age of realization that they are not getting any younger anymore so they need to live their life to the fullest or enjoy it while they're still strong.

Well I am only 29 so I am way off the mark but I guess for some people it is true. I dont know to what point and in what way but some people have kids that no longer need 24/7 supervision, they are financially more stable and have jobs and friends that they like. With that they have more time and freedom so they can enjoy life more.

Hi violeta,
Yeah, we are on our way off the mark, im curious on how it feels being at 40, maybe you're right they are more stable than us because of thier experiences so they can relax and enjoy thier life. thanks

They say that the guy's life begins at 40 and for the woman's life begins at 30. They are more energetic and full of enthusiasm. And fun are there.
In my own view, I don't really believe in it. Because my life has started already when I was born. And I have already living a life full of energy as my young age.

yeh, but they left out a few words when the transcribed the saying, intsead of "Life begins at 40", it should have read "Life begins going down hill at 40"
lol ok, so it isn't that bad. i had a hard time dealing with 40 at first, but i got used to it pretty quickly and Im feeling my more normal "young for my age" self again
