Do you consider 27 to be "old" ?

I used to think 27 was old because society tells you it's a time to settle down and all that jazz.

In fact, as I'm approaching 30 I'm beginning to get that youthful vitality back because I see my 30s as an opportunity to live the best fucking life while my peers are getting baby-trapped, divorced or just plain giving up on life.

I'm 27.

So no.

But life doesn't fix itself. Start now.

No, 27 isn't old. But you have a finite number of days. Start working on it now.

That's your "inner failure" trying to come to the surface. If you accept that you've missed all your opportunities, you have an excuse to settle back onto your couch, reboot the xbox, and plug back in.

And if that's what you want, fine. But it's not true.

My favorite story on this subject is about "Colonel" Harlan Sanders, who founded Kentucky Fried Chicken with his first social security check.

Yes - you've spent a lot of your time on things that brought you immediate pleasure, but will gain you no joy, no status, and no poon as your life moves forward. But it wasn't a waste. You had fun.

If you want different things now, then you have to go out and do them.

Oh, and I'm 52 this year you rotten kid. My distance vision and night vision are now fucked, I've got an implant for my heart, and I have to spice the hell out of my food just to taste it.

I'd pay fifty million dollars to be 27 again.

"Is 27 old?" - Sweet Jesus.

It's old only if you're a woman.

If you're a man your 20's start at 32.

Im 32 and feel the best I ever have

Only women are getting old at 27...you're getting better.

You are a man of 27 years old you are not a 27 year old girl. Of course you are not old

age is a mentality, if you feel worn down, tired and old, you are old. If you are energetic, motivated and adventurous, you are young

Men are in their prime 30-35. I'm 30 and have never felt younger. I now have money so I can do things. When I was in my 20s, I was always broke. Now, I'm smart and rich enough to be dangerous. Had an argument with the HOA and they thought I was some kid renting a condo because I look young. I dropped the "I am a 30 year old professional man who is a veteran of the United States Navy, and has plenty of free time for court" on them in a professional business letter that I wrote them because they saw me changing a flat in the parking lot (no auto maintenance on property) and tried to fine me. Now, they no longer mess with me. God, I love being 30.
