What People Have Enjoyed About Getting Older

8.

“The older you get, the better you are at curating your life — particularly when it comes to the people you hang out with, and how you choose to spend your time (both in and out of work). You are less likely to spend time with only so-so people, because free time is limited — so why waste it? Most people also eventually figure out what they want to do work-wise, as well as what they want to do outside of work (whether that is travel, hobbies, sports, etc.).”

“I feel like I spent so much time on bad jobs and bad friends when I was younger, so it’s hard to see my younger friends still trying to figure that stuff out. I’m in my 50s now, and I truly feel like the older I get, the happier I am.”
