How is it like? Are you retired? How long do you plan on working? What do you do for fun? Does your back hurt? Did you expect to be where you at now? Are your pubes grey?

I'm 49. Osteoarthritis setting in my lower back and neck. Bone spurs on spine. Male pattern baldness. Diverticulitis. Have to take TRT to feel half way normal. Need to get a few broken teeth fixed. Need either bi-focals or lasik.
It all creeps in so slowly you don't really notice. I still try to keep a positive attitude, but am also keeping records in case I need to go on disability in the future.
The sword of time will pierce our skins
It doesn't hurt when it begins
But as it works its way on in
The pain grows stronger watch it grin,

It is great, will be 52 in October and retire in 10 years with full pension, fat 457b and a lady 10 years younger. I will be on that fishing boat time, boyos.
Back hurts sometimes, might have a little carpal tunnel going on but can do anything I want. Ride motorcycle and other outdoorsy stuff.

I just turned 50 last month! I can probably say I still have an elite physique. House and cars are paid for w/a nice chunk of savings, but I doubt we will ever stop working as our jobs are just hobbies at this point.

Suppose if it would take 10 years for a man to master a single skill
then imagine how many skills you could master in your whole life?
I will be 62 next month. I think I have mastered more than a few skills and am still trying very hard to master more.

I just turned 50.
I’ve been struggling with back and neck injuries these past few years. I keep trying to get back into tennis league but I’ve only done one season since 2014. I took a few years off tennis for work.
I’ve been lifting while I can and with this latest back injury I’ve been able to do a lot of upper body weights.
It hasn’t been easy. I keep falling and getting up and try to get back to where I was at 30 and forget I have age and extra weight on me.
I hope to retire or work part-time in 5-10 years. I have one wonderful teen girl.

I'm 51. Retired at 30 but not by choice. I came down with an autoimmune disease and became to sick to work so I'm not a good person to answer questions. Will mention though that here of late I rarely have unusual pains. Kind of nice. In the past it could be annoying to find some body part aching for no know reason at all. Something I have noticed is that for some reason a good number of people my age have suddenly grown very old looking. Not all are like this but there is something about the age of 50 that ages many guys badly.

OTOH on a good day when the sun is shining I can put on music and dance around still feeling like a kid. It's just that I know if I'm not careful I might hurt later for it- better not jump too long or too hard if I don't want sore feet/calves, run a block or two- arthritis flare up in my knee and hip for a couple of months.

I expected to stay there until my daughter graduated high school which would have been spring 2024.Did you expect to be where you at now?
