50 isn’t the new 30. Mediocrity seems more palatable with cute slogans. It’s not ok to grow old without a legacy worth mentioning.

what gave you impression that phrase is about mediocrity? imo the point of "30 is the new 20" or "50 is the new 30" is that life doesn't peak when you are younger and only gets better as you get older — and tbh i find that every year does get better, and it is 99% in my own control to make sure of that.

It's a rather passive aggressive slogan that normalises the state of the economy where you have to save enough of your earnings until you reach 50 to live an actual life, while in the past being 30 would have been achievable at 20.

This isn’t going to age well. No pun intended. At all.

Read this as an 18 year old writing about turning 30 I think.

I’m with you on this. Make something that must exist. It should be so urgent that every other moment feels like the montage in between

Have you read about The 100-Year Life concept? Essentially when our life expectancy was 70, our mid-life crisis was around 35. With current life expectancy for the upper middle class that number is closer to 50. This can influence certain timelines e.g. when to have kids, how much risk you can take at 35, etc

No, 60 is the new 30. And it’s absolutely fine to grow old without a legacy worth mentioning, I’d go as far as to say that is the optimal form of a human.

unaware if this has been mentioned here before but I think the slogan is based on changing societal and biological conditions where being 50 doesn’t mean getting closer to retirement or death. people are finding purpose beyond the age of 30 and living longer. that’s beautiful.

To each their own. We strive, others don't. That makes us different but not necessarily better. Some of the reasons why Denmark is considered amongst the happiest places is because they don't strive as much. They have their basic needs, enjoy equality and life. There is risk and suffering in striving.

1. Kazi, after reading through most of the casts in this post, I wanted to tell you that the way that you are communicating your opinions comes off badly which is what instigates the fighting. Rather than calling people losers, plz remember that other people have different definitions of success.
