They look at you like that because they know, right now, you are young and feel invincible. And you practically are.
But they know that you won't be forever. And they know that you are missing an opportunity to prepare for the second half of your life because you are living to the fullest now.
And they know that it's your choice to make.
Maybe, but it's more likely they are resentful for not doing the same and worried about who will pay for their retirement.
I really don't find that to be the case. Maybe you just have a lot of assholes around you regardless of age.
I'm actually surrounded by cool people, but I'm aware of my bubble.
Pretty much. That age old meme of money/time/energy is spot on, and when you have all the time and energy it sure does feel like the only time that matters is now.
But it's only one short part of life. If there's anything I've learned, it's that I should have been an anesthesiologist. lol
On top of that, it's also that "living life to the fullest" has changed over the years, and has different meanings even among members of the same generation.
There are a lot of people injecting doomerism right into their tear ducts lately who openly don't have long term plans because they seriously believe we're headed to total collapse and they'll be dead.
And that older people are more likely to know people who lived "to the fullest" for whatever interpretation of that you have, and have seen what those people have had to deal with as they've got older.
