Lives in Manoa Valley of Honolulu

Gallup said this hypothetical person would be a tall, Asian-American, observant Jew who is at least 65 and married, has children, lives in Hawaii, runs his own business and has a household income of more than $120,000 a year.

Oy! That some tough criteria.

Nice one!

A lot of people are still working out internal conflicts at 35 years old. And I prefer to think that my best years are still ahead.

physically, there is a huge drop off between 35 and 40, Oh to wake up with a business, 2 good kids and wife I loved and still be able to do all the other things that come so hard later in life, no pun intended.

keep hoping on the getting better part

Most people are much too busy to care about either their "internal conflicts" or "being happy" at 35.

thats why I didnt say 25, but I sure would like to be in that shape again....., I was pretty level headed at 35.

At 25, I was still just playing. By 35 I was trying to figure out how to get my career going in the right direction and had little kids at home (translation, zero free time and not enough money). By 50 I actually had a little free time and some resources to have some fun again.

...probably doesn't read OD.

A hippie with some one elses credit card !!

I'm actually in better shape now than when I was in my 20s. The qualifier is that I was not athletic at all then and drank a lot of beer. I fairly recently started to appreciate the value of physical fitness, and I drink good beer for the taste.

Statistician is duck hunting and sees two ducks flying by, low and slow. He aims between them and shoots. On average, he got one.

Man am I glad to hear that. Stuff is finally starting to turn around for me. Maybe by fifty I can relax a little.

Fook that, Omegaman. Relax now. Let tomorrow's worries wait until tomorrow.

Heh, my heavy lifting was done financially by 35. LOL! Moving money around since, really doesn't take that much effort.
