Already felt like I lived too long. Not sure I can do this another 40

I'm nearing 60 and I feel like I must be about 110. Not physically, because I'm in great shape, bike 25-50 miles a day, work out, keep myself thin. But I've done so many different things in my life, different careers, lived lots of different places, that it feels like I've lived many lifetimes already. And since I grew up in the era of three TV channels, I think I'm already living in science fiction. People talk about their lives going by in a flash, but I kind of think that's a consequence of just doing the same things day after day.

I'm mainly thankful that I don't have any kids to worry about and that it's possible I'll be dead before the climate shit really hits the fan. Being killed by robots is looking very realistic, unfortunately.

we always assumed the robots would shoot us down in the street. instead, they do our work for us, and that's how they kill us!

As someone in his mid-40s, yep. I don't think that's all that new, though.

I was one of those lucky elder millennials who got to own a home by my mid 20s. Bought cheap, the market exploded and several years later made bank off the sale of the property. I thought for once in my life I would treat myself and wife and go after our dream home. I successfully did it and it was great, but real life caught up, had to take care of my grandmother and disabled sister since no one else in the family would. It drained our bank account and had to sell the house at a massive loss and am now living with in laws in a converted shed in their backyard. Now, strapped with debt, I barely see a way back to home ownership, even renting is not in the cards for at least a couple years.

It's awful that in the span of 3 years I went from the happiest, most comfortable I've been in my entire life, to the most stressed and on the verge of homelessness, all due to fucking shit healthcare and shit ass family.

'murica yeah!

Cynicism aside, I am sorry things are so fucked up for you (and also increasingly so for everyone).

Lots of love <3

45, with 11 and 15 year old kids, currently hoping the Excedrin Migraine I took kicks in soon

[–] Akasazh@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

GL man, your building something for the future, which is something I'll not have.

Migraine is no joke, though.
