This does depend somewhat on what options he has given himself now from his first 50 years.

Grey hair, thick rooster type hairs growing out of your ears, nose and eye brows.
Start to get a pot belly. Energy levels are slowly decreasing. Testosterone down.
Sex once a month instead of a couple times a week.
Fart more. Pee stream down 50%.
Medical issues start arising.
If unemployed, have fun trying to find a job. Your days of making top dollar are over.Comment -

Not scared of the future because you have seen it all and know what is a bluff and what isn't.
Realize that their are no big conspiracies. People aren't that fukin sharp. More often than not there is an easy explanation that doesn't involve anything from space.
No debt whatsoever. Property, business, vehicles, and toys all paid off or bought with cash.
Know that the Laws of Nature will always weed out the stupid. Money, hope or big government can't save stupid.
Have made it to a point were you have seen all the chain smokers, power drinkers, pot heads, gambling addicts, sex whores, acid droppers, have either adjusted or succumb to their lifestyles to an early grave. Feel no peer pressure to push the line at anything because you are aware of things that should be valued in life.
Ability to spot the weak and those that are actually strong.
Have knowledge that women rule the world because they control the c o c k as well as the purse strings.
Women get wet the minute they hear 3 words. "House paid for"
You feel sorry for the young. Cuz you have fought and won all their upcoming battles already.
And lastly, ANY and ALL females in their 20's you think are attractive! You don't sit there for a decade looking for flaws. You wanna fuk (and she knows it). It either happens or you move on. And if your equipment is having an off day, no worries, for a pill that costs a few bucks, you can hit that till she begs you to stop.Comment -

#21Just numbers-speaking, a 50 year old might average living to 85, maybe 90 as life expectancies continue to rise. I bet people that are 25 now will average living to 100. Well, people in healthy countrieslol fat muricans

Most of todays 50 yr olds haven't saved a fuking penny, and are going to far out live whatever they can put together once the fear sets in. They'll work until they die, so will I most likely.Comment -
