Looking for a new job
Feel about 25 but turn 55 next month ... In relatively good health as I still go running every week and do some football training. My biggest worry is when best (or practical) to retire ? ? Am lucky to have great family and friends who live nearby and a dog who keeps me sane with regular walks along the beach. Work /life is balanced (2 days in the office , 3 at home) and have interests in keeping tabs on all things Albion, keeping my car in fuel (23mpg isn't bad for a V8) and me in beer ! Wife and 2 daughters balance the equation. All good in fact. I like this therapy - when is my next session please ?
You sound great! The first few words are the key. Feel 25! You'll probably always feel 25 as that's probably your natural age - so enjoy your youth forever. I'm 70+ going on 17. I remember turning 40 and wondering what would change - truth is - nothing did - I've never changed and nor has my fabulous wife. Golden wedding last year, but we both work and play harder than ever. If we're not working on our business, were off somewhere new or revisited. We're lucky with health so just keep going. This retirement thing, bye the way, be careful - for some people retirement is the begining of the end if they don't have meaningful purpose to pursue. Think young! Act young! Feel young! (Oh yeah, you're right - and feel the love of a dog.)

Had a PSA test this morning and I'm waiting for the results. My doctor didn't exactly put me at ease. Not ashamed to admit I'm a bit frightened. Everything else feels irrelevant at the moment and time feels like it's standing still.

When I reached 40 I thought, never mind still plenty of time to do what I want, but once you hit fifty it really hits home, hang on a minute, not many live to 100 so you realise you have already probably lived over half your life and start just being grateful that you wake up in the morning, yes you have more money but, you don't have the energy or the health to be able to enjoy it properly.
Shall I just go and jump off a cliff now.

Hope it's a good result, fingers crossed for you. Important for all of us at these kind of ages to get examined regularly - two close pals of mine have had prostate cancer, both are ok after treatment as it was picked up early through screening. Very high chance of successful treatment if the worst is confirmed but it's identified early. Yes it's an embarrassing and uncomfortable few seconds with the doc, but just get it done eh ?

In my mid 40's now , and does it feel rough at times.
Felt fine turning 40, but since getting past 45 I feel I'm at a crossroads in life, and I can't decide what to do.
Had a couple of relationships go leg side. So find myself completely single, never been married etc. Though I find the best solution is just to enjoy my freedom. I like planning trips away, as it gives me something to look forward to.
Enjoy my running, going to gigs and being out in the fresh air. I've also got into meditation, which helps me get a different view of life. Though sometimes I feel that I'm drinking just a bit too much.
Its just the big questions of work, moving home and relationships which I seem to struggle with.

Best of luck with your test results
What qualifies as drinking a bit too much?

Not sure really. I'm can usually go most of the week without a beer, though when I get to the weekend I tend to put a few away. Especially if its an Albion Saturday. But then maybe a lot of people are like that?
Plus, I like to get out and socialize during the weekend, so that generally involves being in a pub/bar.
It just I'm not great with hangovers these days.

I've had more sex in my 50's than all the other decades put together, and there are still 6 years of my 50's left.

That could mean you lost your virginity at 51 though
