nope.

I used to say: "40! ha, i'm going to buy motorcycles and fast cars and eat badly and drink too much and have dangerous hobbies and hopefully die young before i get old like you 40 year old geezers."

then I had kids and that kinda doesn't work now. so now, sadly yes. I don't want to be doing this at 50 or 60 or 70 or ...

now go give your dad a hug

I used to say the exact same thing!

I don't have any kids yet, but once it became clear my body wasn't what it used to be, I stopped feeling invincible and realized it sucks to be trapped in a messed up body.

This helped to reduce the poor decisions. You just don't know how long you might last.
