I’m literally having panic attacks on dark rainy nights with those damn headlights giving blindness. I’m 51 and feel like the 70 year old who no longer drive after dark. 😩😤
Mid 50s and adding to the list: 1. Answering calls from phone numbers I don't recognize. 2. My neighbor who plants wildflowers to attract pollinators when I'm allergic to bee stings. He's gotta go. 3. Machines that automatically add a tip. Guaranteed to get a zero tip if you're going to decide for me. 4. People who post every meal they eat on social media. I don't care! 5. People who ask my opinion but aren't really ready to hear it. 6. TV shows and movies that no longer portray anything that interests me. I'd rather be left alone to do my thing. True friends can be counted on one hand because I don't have time to be a true friend to more than that. I used to like people until people ruined it.
I love alone 3,000 miles away from family and where I grew up, in a rural area with four dogs and no kids and single. LA DOLCE VITA 🤣🤣🤣...just leave me alone!
My therapist said I should get out more and visit friends. I told her it took me years of saying no to finally be able to sit in my comfy clothes and do whatever the hell I want and not be bothered.
i love winter for the cold and winds and quiet, winter is a great time of year u do not have to weed out gardens or mow lawns or paint the deck or powerwash the sidewalks. lol
I'm about to be 62 and you are absolutely right! I began feeling very empowered and pretty sassy. I had several things take me out of my real life and I lost some years in there, but I'm raving you Gen Xr's on now and feeling my oats...just at a little slower pace!
One of the best things about growing old is realising that no one gives a flying hoot about how you look or what you wear other than yourself and I couldn’t care less 😂😂
Shame those celebrities don't realise it with all their plastic surgery, and walking around looking like jokes trying to hang onto their youth... I'm not against a little nip and tuck but the fillers and duck lips and other things that distort the face? Is it really worth it 😂
I agree I’ve gone to Walmart looking like The Walking Dead and nobody even bats an eye and that’s so liberating!!! I do mean I’m happy with me. It’s not like I’m a slob, but what’s the point?!
I love being 47 and not caring one bit about what people think. You learn as you get older that you can cut toxic people from your life. You don't have to stay around and be hurt by others. You can walk away.
Especiallu when its your ex. When we were splitting up i was looking forward to the day he would start talking too much and i could say " nope,im out. I'm going home." As Im walking away😅
Other than Winter, I agree with everything else stated! I spent the first half of my life in a desert that frequently hit 120°+ at least 5 months of the year. I am absolutely over Summer. Winter is peaceful, cozy, darker. I love it! ❤
I'm with you. I'm 63 now and am determined not to turn up for every family birthday or Christmas event for the sake of it when I hate socialising, uncomfortable shoes are biatches and I refuse to wear them, annoying family members, just pretend they don't exist. The list goes on...
I was Born in 1974 . I will be 50 in November & I Endorse EVERYTHING YOU JUST SAID... ALL OF THEM NOT CARING WHAT OTHERS THINK IS SO LIBERATING &; WAY LESS Stressful....
I turned 50 in Nov. 2022.... it will be the best moment of your life... so much goes away in thought and you develop license to tell all bullshit to go fuck itself... treat urself... nothing has to be fancy, just DO YOU. Love all assholes but only from AFAR. Do that for 12 mos and you'll end up loving 51 when it comes. LMAO Happy Bday in advance. #That_TOPAZ_Life
You are so funny! And 💯 percent on point!!!! I'm in my 50's and Lordy I'm over so much and I finally found my mouth like you did! Lol love it and your truth and honesty! Keep it up....makes my Day!!!!!!
At almost 40, I feel this. I don't give a shit what people think of me and haven't for years. That takes up too much time in a society where people get offended too easily. Their emotions are theirs to control, not mine.
god i had to finally conceed to my own comfort last year I finally bought several pairs of shorts that while not 100% "cool" they were comfy and most were even jean shorts so went with almost everything. its really hard to concede to ourselves own comfort when what we want isn't the newest or coolest things
i also realized i rarely leave the house why am I only taking an edible and or a drink at night. the only true reason for an edible later would be to put my insomniac ass to sleep at a decent hour but well i don't leave often so what does it matter if i sleep with the sun up or down. as long as i make it to appointments all is well.
I’m about to turn 45 so haven’t hit 50 yet, but omg I relate with you more than anyone out there who speaks truth on a platform. Keep them coming girl.. LOVE everything you throw down! 😆✌️💜😊
I love your videos . I always smile after watching them . 😘Fellow Gen Xer raised by a single mom waitressing . We just ruled the neighborhood and had crazy fun doing stupid shit daily . Lol
As someone getting ready to turn 54, I agree with this whole list!! I haven't wore any pants that didnt stretch in 4 years. I have gotten to were I hate people more and more everyday and most people are idiots!! Boy, I can't wait til I turn 60 just to see how it goes!! Love your videos, they are so spot on!! 😂😂😂❤❤❤
Not only did the dark get darker, but the headlights have gotten brighter.
Ues.
L e d .. yes they have and it angers me to no end
So true lol
I’m literally having panic attacks on dark rainy nights with those damn headlights giving blindness. I’m 51 and feel like the 70 year old who no longer drive after dark. 😩😤
Cataracts adds to that issue. My eye doctor says everyone who lives long enough will get cataracts. It often starts around 50.
AND, when you get closer to 60, the list of I don't give a fuck gets even longer! Oh you are beautiful, and I enjoy your videos.
So the fuck field gets ever more barren?
I'm 60 and I quit my job and got a better one and I bought a house. You can't do that at your age, just watch me.
Yes! Exactly!!!
The dark DID get darker! I feel validated!
I thought I was the only one!! 😂😂😂
Same
Where’s the lie ??!? 😂😂😂😂
😂I can't see chitt anymore when driving at night.
My issue is how it seems like now everyone has to drive with their highbeams on in the city
Mid 50s and adding to the list:
1. Answering calls from phone numbers I don't recognize.
2. My neighbor who plants wildflowers to attract pollinators when I'm allergic to bee stings. He's gotta go.

Lol #5 hit home for me. I have no filter 😂
I second that at 55!
Then stay Away from the Bees or We'll BE Eating fake food and having more Allergies ..🤔
LIFE IS SHORT. FIND YOUR JOY! ❤
I love alone 3,000 miles away from family and where I grew up, in a rural area with four dogs and no kids and single. LA DOLCE VITA 🤣🤣🤣...just leave me alone!
Saying No to invitations is a pleasure I did not know until I was 70.
I love when people I'm not really close to, not inviting me to things.
🤣😂👌🏻😄👌🏻👌🏻
NO to any, and all invitations is such a wonderful dream life!!! 😎✌️🍀❤❤❤🎉💫
I have another one. How about wanting to get the heck out of a party or gathering early because you just wanna go home and relax.
I agree, that's why I don't carpool with others to events. When I am ready to leave I go .
Been there more than once
Hahahaha. I just don't go. Too peopley for me. 😂😂😂
My therapist said I should get out more and visit friends. I told her it took me years of saying no to finally be able to sit in my comfy clothes and do whatever the hell I want and not be bothered.
Well said 👏👏👏 and totally agree! 😊
I'd have to find friends first
@upandadams9511 After spending all day at work, for 5 freaking days, here's my list of my places I don't want to be... out of the house.
Just leave me in peace at home with my dog.
Ahhh, laying in my hammock on the porch at 0300 on a Monday morning not giving two f###s about really anything watching this clip.
I agree with ALL this except the winter. When you're hot all the time, you count the days until you feel that first chill!😄
i love winter for the cold and winds and quiet, winter is a great time of year u do not have to weed out gardens or mow lawns or paint the deck or powerwash the sidewalks. lol
Fall and winter my favorite. Especially those cool crispy fall mornings 😊
I absolutely love winter and fall they are my favorite especially because where I’m from I see less ppl😄
OH YES me too.I HATE THE SUMMER Hot and humid.ontop with ashma and hot flashes....Bring on perpetual Fall🥰
@blessedfromtx.1910 Yes🥰
This is every generation that hits 50yrs old. 50 is the liberation decade of life.😂
I'm about to be 62 and you are absolutely right! I began feeling very empowered and pretty sassy. I had several things take me out of my real life and I lost some years in there, but I'm raving you Gen Xr's on now and feeling my oats...just at a little slower pace!
Amen .58 here.
@sixteezchildYessss🥰😁
I hit this at 40, not sure what takes people an extra 10 years.
@@monesjones8431
Here's your trophy 🏆
I hate uncomfortable pants with a passion
I'm not even 50 yet and I'm down with ALL of this right now. 😂
Same 😅
Welcome❤❤
At 47 I agree with everything she said 😂
Me too I'm almost at the 50 mark though 45
right, why wait? Do what you want NOW!
And the fuck word.. LOVE that one !
One of the best things about growing old is realising that no one gives a flying hoot about how you look or what you wear other than yourself and I couldn’t care less 😂😂
😂💚💚💚I’m in love again 😮😊😊
@@RVingwithG😂😂😂
I think it's I just don't give a S### what anyone else thinks about what I wear.
Shame those celebrities don't realise it with all their plastic surgery, and walking around looking like jokes trying to hang onto their youth... I'm not against a little nip and tuck but the fillers and duck lips and other things that distort the face? Is it really worth it 😂

Summer. The 100+ heat just hurts at this age.
for me the heeat doesnt hurt it makes me sweat profusely, i feel weak and myheart pounds.
I love being 47 and not caring one bit about what people think. You learn as you get older that you can cut toxic people from your life. You don't have to stay around and be hurt by others. You can walk away.
Team 47! Love my 40s! Yes to everything said!😂
Especiallu when its your ex. When we were splitting up i was looking forward to the day he would start talking too much and i could say " nope,im out. I'm going home." As Im walking away😅
LOL! I'm sitting here with no pants on and I'm with you.
The no pants days are the best!
I love it. The dark got darker got me
Me too. I change my work hours when the time changes in the fall.
Same! I see shit that's not there. Walls, lakes, etc. Wtf? Can't drive at night anymore. About to try some night driving glasses.
And where did all those different colored lights on wheels come from😧
Right?!@@denisedixon9146
Gen x the truth. 😂
I hear you girl!!! I could never look good in blue jeans! I've been stuck in "yoga" pants for years!!!!
I hate driving at night!!!
56
71 here 70/80s growing up was fecking AWESOME
“Arguing with idiots”
As the old saying goes:
“You can’t fix stupid”
You can't fix stupid. My favorite life observation. I wish I had known it 50 years ago.
I thought that I was the only one used the word People-ing. LOL I do not like people-ing as well lol
When I finally couldn't give 2 shits what anyone thinks of me anymore....PRICELESS!! That lesson was a long time coming too.
The dark got darker 😂😂😂
Right! 😂🤣
The headlights also got brighter.
Thank you for speaking up for gen x
Words of wisdom, not just for Gen X
Other than Winter, I agree with everything else stated!
I spent the first half of my life in a desert that frequently hit 120°+ at least 5 months of the year. I am absolutely over Summer. Winter is peaceful, cozy, darker. I love it! ❤
winter is quiet and pretty. the heat over 80 degrees makes me melt! ;llol
Exactly, I’m from the Caribbean and man am I tired of the humidity and the whole heap of ppl being too close,gosh!!give me the cooler, darker times.
29 Palms!
Amen! I spend nine months of the year sweating and I ain't had any flashes... yet.
The humidity of the South is oppressive. 🍹
I'm with you. I'm 63 now and am determined not to turn up for every family birthday or Christmas event for the sake of it when I hate socialising, uncomfortable shoes are biatches and I refuse to wear them, annoying family members, just pretend they don't exist. The list goes on...

The answer is yoga pants. Hold things in while super stretchy. (Calories are a myth, not real)

You right, ENJOY YOUR JOY
😂Lol Truth! Been there,Still There! " 65" Life is Short! Rock it!
That’s it! I have always told my kids “get it now”! because soon you will be my age.
64, i get it.
You are so right on 👍 love it 😊
At almost 40, I feel this. I don't give a shit what people think of me and haven't for years. That takes up too much time in a society where people get offended too easily. Their emotions are theirs to control, not mine.
I don't keep friends cuz i don't really like people, but i like this lady 😂
Ditto to ALL of it!!!
So glad to find you again! You always make me laugh.
I’m about to turn 50 and I couldn’t agree more
Can I add uncomfortable shoes to the list?
You are so right!!!!!
Totally relate to the pants part 😂
And I'm 56 and I LOVE this vid. :)
Yessssss! 🤣🤣😆😆🤣
I love your attitude, exactly!
Baby senior are so cute! That's what we call them at the Huntsman World senior games . Age 50 to 54 .

Fabulous!

Amen sis 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
We are a sisterhood of the over fifty club
I LOVE this woman, she speaks the truth :P
In Alaska, we'd either start drinking around 8-10:30 p.m. and finish about 3:30 - 8:30 a.m. OR start around 9-1 p.m. and finish by around 8:30 p.m.
My rule is no weed before breakfast otherwise I'll eat the whole damn box of cereal in one sitting.
Amen sister! Just turned 50 myself and I can totally relate!
I turned 60 and realised I’d been trying to stay small for the stupid.
So flipping true, if you really look around you'll see the large and in charge are everywhere😅
P.S. staying small for the stupid is the best thing I ever heard 😂.
At 44 I feel the same way lady! You just put things in the best way 😅😅😅
60 Totally Agree
I love your videos . I always smile after watching them . 😘Fellow Gen Xer raised by a single mom waitressing . We just ruled the neighborhood and had crazy fun doing stupid shit daily . Lol
Winter has to go
I ❤ her on point every time 😂
Well said! 😂
Drinking after 5.30 , who the fuck made up that rule 😂 exactly ❤❤
Words to live by
That’s pretty much everything that’s on my list too
OMG, you are my cosmic twin! Everything you said - DITTO!!
Invitations is a big one
Yes to everything you said..😂😂😂..❤❤
I so embody all of these
Right on point 😂😂😂
Thank you I am with you.
