I "rage quit" my job at age 41. My boss tried to discipline us as a team. Bitch, this isn't boot camp.

Didn't really fix my life, but I make a lot more money now, and it did make me feel better for quite a while.

Kids getting old enough to leave at home when I want to go to LSU Football/Baseball games or a bar.

Yes.

I mind my own business more now than I did in my 20s.

Have to say, coaching and cheering for my kid in youth sports is more fulfilling than anything on breaking bad.

I did a lot of dumb shite when I was younger, so I kind of appreciate my stability in life right now. But I exercise almost everyday, keeps me motivated.

I wouldn’t call it life changing but I’ve been coaching some rec league teams this past year and it is fun as hell.

It was good closure that they finally had Walt admit to Skylar that he was doing it because he liked it.

I walked away from the burden of religion 20+ years ago and found a new freedom.

Maybe people try too hard to find meaning in life.

Just find ways to be content in life and enjoy every possible moment.

I'm 40. Divorced after 18 years in October. Found a fun, cute 34 year old who is all about me and the sex. Feels pretty nice.


Hope it works out better for you than it did for me.

I have plans. But then can't find the time.
When I find the time, I'm too tired. I just need a few million bucks gifted to me to free up the time.

I havent found anything to take me out of my mundane life. I hate my job, I’m too scared to change it at my age and this economy. And there’s no guarantee that would fix how I feel. The only joy I really get out of life is hanging out with my family. I have two young boys. But outside of that, I am very dissatisfied with my life this far. I would love that to change, but with decreasing wages, and less free time to myself to do things I like to do, I don’t see shite changing. The only real joy I get out of most days is going to sleep.

Learning to make top quality crystal meth did it for Walter White. You should give that a try.

I'm 48 and started taking drum and guitar lessons in January. Always played sports growing up, not one lick of experience in music. I suck but it has been fun and challenging trying to learn something new.

I also started reading more when COVID got going last year. I've enjoyed that as well...trying to keep that going as we get back to "normal".
