Would you be happy with this at 40

I’m 40, doing an MBA funded by employer.
Looking back to my college/ under grad days, I can’t remember how satisfied I would be with my current circumstances..... I feel satisfied, but wonder what the youth would think....
40, married, 2 children under 10, very pretty wife and though she’s very overweight and smokes a lot, is incredibly sexy and we have a great sex life. I’m fit, play football with my friends weekly, run, cycle to work. Work: £85k ish for a global organisation in a reasonable easy role.... flexi hours, and work one day a week from home and 4 in the office. I wish I’d learned a musical instrument, and so during lockdown I’ve started to learn the guitar, currently quite bad at it. I’m reasonably well traveled, but next I think would like to show my wife and daughters more countries. Just interested to know what the young ones on here hope to get under their belt by 40.

sounds like you are fishing on here 🎣

You have done better than the average, I wouldn’t complain at all if I was you, life is about happiness and freedom, I’d think about putting money aside dir retirement so you’d have the choice to work on after 50 only if you wanted to snd not because you have to, you could maybe look into investing too. This is just to give you freedom of course if you wanted to better your life furthermore. Be proud of yourself ! I’m 28 but at 40 I’d hope to be in a job I enjoy which pays 35k plus with some investments

I think you have it pretty good but wouldn’t be happy to have a partner who smokes a lot personally. It’s bad for her health and for the children to be around and see as a role mode

Everything was going swimmingly until “very overweight and smokes a lot”.

See answer above Re: smoking. The weight looks great on her, love her curves, and she is very over weight. She was slim when we met at 19, did sport etc.

hey im 16 and id be quite happy w that
