i don't know, did a lot of stuff in 20s so not really
miss being fitter and stronger though

>>58198316
Sure, except I barely have any money and I'm almost 40.
I'm going all in a BTC once it hits $40k and then I'll hold until $120k.

>>58198316
Same I'm 30 now

but I think what I miss is the early 2010s and not actually being 19

I'd pick being 30 in 2010s over being 19 in 2024

>>58198316
I way prefer being 27

>>58198339
Maybe it was the time but I think that's a small part of it. There is something to that youth that seems impossible to recapture.

>>58198376
It is impossible to recapture it. Your body is strong, fast, your brain feels sharp as fuck, you're in your best shape. Girls give you attention, you have spontaneous sex. Your early to mid 20s is peak life. It's also full of possibilities and hope. It's a beautiful time... and then it disappears.

>>58198316
at 19 I did literally nothing but play counterstrike and lost my virginity
now I found a job I actually like enough to be able to function in society, fit, have my own place so I can be left alone, and all the stuff I need to cope well enough with continued existence for it not to bother me

t. 42
ps. zoomer girls here are a lot hotter than teens were back then and it's way easier for me to bag one now than when I was a teen myself, now confident in knowing that I have my shit together

>>58198316
The only thing I miss about being 19 is having around 10% bodyfat. Everything else can suck a dick.

>>58198439
I was a fat fuck due to bad parenting and now in my 30s and have never been lower body fat or higher muscle.

>>58198316
My life from 18-25 was pure and unfiltered suffering. I studied mathematics in a German city, which was no student city.
Being broke, only ugly deviant girls around you, hard as fuck degree that makes you question whether you are a retard... It was hell. even though I grew as a person.

My first job lightened up the world for me. What a good job can do. Not just money, the travel, the connection with other (and more normal) people. Am now 36 and life has never been better. Going back to my life as a 19 years old .. I would kill myself. Only regret is not buying bitcoin as soon as I heard about it.

>>58198316
You're in your prime dude. Life won't get any physiologically better than it is right now unless you just completely let yourself go in your 20s. Even then, you're young enough to turn that around in a year or two depending on how out of shape you are. Once you get past 35-40 you'll definitely start to feel your age a little more each year, so relish that your sun is at its highest point in the sapphire sky. The benefit of being 30 over 19 is that you're far more aware and conscious about yourself and your life experiences and having the leverage to do what you want in the world rather than just being a dumbass kid with the benefit of having time. The world used to be a better and bigger place when we were kids/teens anyway, be thankful you got to savor the last of what used to be before everything changed to whatever the hell these kids have now.

>>58198316
Anons 30s are the best , if you are in good shape and you got a good personality.

made my first million a few years ago but, figured that the responsibility was become a drag. I can't say that I feel the same way. However, I do think I can honestly relate.

My question to you is, are you doing or in a profession that you feel proud about? And if so, why aren't you taking time now and then to pat yourself on the back and relax?

>>58198477
>>58198496
Thanks frens for the uplifting words

>>58198316
32yo here. 20 year old's are annoying and retarded. why the fuck would you wanna be like that again? get fit if you don't feel youthful anymore.

>>58198316
i'm 18, 5'4, $120 net worth and socially anxious

>>58198779
people just miss the mindset that comes with being a retarded 20 something years old. its escapism

>>58198339
Being in 2024 in general is shit lmao. But being 19 in 2010 would be grate.

>>58198316
Teens and 20s was ass, it was either too much studying, too much gaming, too much partying or too much work. Didn't know how to enjoy life. Everything was forced looking back at it, now I dgaf and just chill

>>58198827
>But being 19 in 2010 would be grate.
i agree
but if I could be me right now but in 2010
I'd probably take that
>30
>multi millionaire
>top 0.1% fitness
>doctor

I'm not larping, only reason why I suck with girls is turbo manlet and ethnic (at least not jeet)

>>58198520
You are welcome anon, enjoy yours 30s, and be happy

>>58198316
You get to spend the rest of your life wishing you were just 10 years younger. This is what it feels like being a boomer

>>58198477
>>58198496
>>58199262
I-Is this still true if you're a balding workaholic with no prospects? A-asking for a friend.

>>58198477
This, prime age for a man is 30s. You should be stronger and more fit than ever.
A lot of men in their 20s have baby face, and look like a kid rather than a man.
Teen and 20s is only prime age for women.

>>58199287
>balding workaholic with no prospects
You should have been a workaholic in your 20s. In your 30s you should be settled in your career and have a lot more free time.

I plan to retire at 45 yo.

>>58199287
I'm bald since 21, and listen to me anon girls don't watch your hair.
The most important thing is to be in good shape, and you need your self confidence.
I'm 37 and I fuck a 26 years old gorgeous married girl.
Life is easy

>>58198316
>34
I wasted so much time and opportunity

i wish when i was 19 I had my mindset now in my early 30s. i was a retard

>>58199287
girls absolutely care if youre bald. pretending they dont is cope

>>58199714
you would be able to do a lot better if you had hair

I was a loser at 19 but came into my own at ~25 in 2014, that is the time period I would go back to and stay in.

>>58199745
I already do a lot better, because in the same time I fuck an actress 36 years old milf.
A 45 years old milf with big boobs.
And my ex.
With my hair I only used to fuck my girl

>>58198316
I still look like I'm 19 at the age of 30 -_-

Honestly you're just remembering the good parts of it - and this is not criticism, your brain is literally wired to do that.
By the way, if you are in good health and not American, you can expect to live close or even beyond 100, so you're not as old as you think.

Enjoy it while you can. You will wake up one day and be 70. Your whole body will ache.

>>58199790
if you had hair now you could do better than that, L0ss

>>58199840
I already feel like that at 37

>>58198812

The most honest post on /biz/ I've seen in years.

>>58198335
this is epic bait or severe retardation.

you are asking for a 45% dip when there are billion dollar inflows daily

>>58198391
>your brain feels sharp as fuck
I'm a month and a half from 34 and my brain still feels the same I think. In fact I've probably learned more in the last 5 years than in the 10 prior to that.
I think it's all a function of using it.

I can agree on the body though but a good portion of it is also mentality. I don't really care about being hot with low bf anymore. Who cares.

What I do miss from being younger though is the thunderous boners I'd get.
Most of the time I just don't feel like having sex anymore. Feels like a chore actually just to keep the gf happy. I wish I could bring that back.

Most people actually assume I'm 23 to 24 though. I have a young face and great skin and hairline.

>had horrendous eczema, chronic allergies/rhinities and a bunch of other problems from the drugs I had to take and was a also a recluse hermit from the PTSD of going through high school like that

Little did I know college/uni would be even worse; teens and 20s were awful for me, I didnt get to experience this mystical high school movie tier experience everyone else got. But its easier for me to cope my way out of it unlike some other anons as I did have chronic health issues

So far my mid-late 20s have been way better

>>58198316
Well I had no life at 19 (studying hard all the time) and wanted to kill myself everyday.

Now ? At 30 I work "only" 5 days a week, can pay for sex, food and drinks when I feel like killing myself (often), and living in a cozy country.
Soon I'll be able to not work anymore and live from my investments, in Thailand, Vietnam or travelling around the world.

So no, 19 was shit, 30 is still shit but getting better, I see the end of hell.

>>58198477
30 is not prime. The economy is absolute trash right now and even top-earners are feeling less rich and more just middling. This is objectively the worst decade to be a man under 40 unless you magically yolo all your money into the next 100x.

>>58199858
No see that's the fun part, your body will ache 10 times as much by then and you'll say "fuck, I wish I had used my time better when I was 37 and young". Isn't life "great"?

>>58198391
>Girls give you attention, you have spontaneous sex.
uhh... yeah, totally... I sure miss those times!

Not at all. I'm 30 too and I feel basically at my peak.

I have way more money, experience, wisdom, confidence and respect than when I was 20, and my physical and mental condition has still not started deteriorating to any noticeable degree.
It's literally the sweet spot of life. (At least so far. Who knows, maybe it gets even better.)

>>58198316
>38
>Good income
>6 fig portfolio
>House paid for

>Back problems
I miss being 19, sitting in my little apartment by myself, browsing 4chan and smoking some weed at 3am and listening to aphex twin. I was broke, but free in ways I will never experience again.

>>58198391
>Girls give you attention, you have spontaneous sex.

>>58198316
Health problems since 20yo and recovering only now at 26. I literally skipped 6 years of my life, I was only working (from home) and dealing with my health. Awful as hell, being an hypermobile guy really fucking sucks

>>58198316
im turning 39 next week
I dont miss being 19 at all
but I do miss living in pre-smartphone times, before the world went batshit on social media and internet memes

>>58198316
I have accepted and embraced death already, so I am not getting hung up on the steps preceding it.

>>58201895
>the next 100x
It's called Bitcoin (BTC)

>>58198316
Yeah. I'm a multimillionaire now at 35, life is good. But I still miss being younger. Can't be helped. The sad part to me is doors inevitably closing as you get order. I'm almost certainly never going to be a pro athlete starting at this age for example. Not that I planned on it anyway, but when you're young the possibility is there whether you care or not. Beyond being healthier and having more energy, being younger means life is filled with endless potential. Whether you take advantage of your potential or not, it's a nice feeling.

Then again, my parents wish they could be 35 again. So I'm focused on enjoying the youth I have left rather than dwelling on the past.

I peaked at 27. I know I will never be as happy as during those days and honestly, it makes me wanna rope. I watched The Iron Claw yesterday and it almost made me jump. It's just a downhill from here.

>>58202060
Why? Body wise? Less energy? Friends getting married etc.?

>>58199858
Take vitamin C for collagen production plus collagen peptides. My dad went from having multiple body parte pain to almost 0

>>58198391
Cry about it some more faggot, why don't you

I'm 35 now and it blows my mind that I was age 18 almost 18 years ago. There are some things I wish I had done differently from age 18 to 24 but I have to pat my past self on the back for setting me up for the successes I've had until now.

Test.

>>58202437

>>58198316

No.

Nothing is stopping you from doing what you used to do at 19.

>>58198316
No

>>58198316
No. I was in college then and I hated it. Now I'm a NEET. Still depressed but at least I'm stress-free.

Late 30s
7 fig net worth
Quarter milly salary
Most unhappy I've been in my life

>>58201941
Read Healing Back Pain by Dr. John Sarno. I had years of horrible back pain all fixed by understanding that book.

>turn 28 this year
>low six fig salary
>take care of body and health. People still assume I’m a college undergrad
Can any older bros offer me some legitimate wisdom. I think I have my shit together, but I would appreciate it, nevertheless

>>58202617
Are you married? I have the same salary and NW just over $2 million but I'm quite happy.

>>58198316
when i was 19 i just sat around playing vidyas all day and night. i would literally play vidya until the sun was coming up the next morning. everyone told me i had a babyface and nobody took me seriously. my youth was shit and i dont really miss it.

>>58202832
It is a ponzi, but what do you get for holding any other coin?

>>58198316
The only thing I miss is fucking my petite emo gf during the early 2000s

>>58202475
Going to Paris/Tokyo for the first time is an adventure, going there for the second time is a commute. The problem isn't that you can't do the shit you did at 19, the problem is you've already done it and now it doesn't feel exciting anymore

>>58202931

Than go somewhere else.

>>58198316
imagine being over 30 and still not owning any proof of sasquatch

>>58198
>I am over 30 now, I am a POS

>>58198335
Wishful thinking. I do agree a 50% correction is always a possibility but I wouldn't bet on it.

>>58202759
Unmarried, no kids

>>58200917
I'm kidding about the brain part. I feel more clever at 30 than 20. The studies about neuroplasticity is kind of a meme because the conclusion is that your brain power goes down like 10% over 3 decades from 20 years old. A genius becoming hypothetically 10% dumber is still a genius. I think it's more of a mental component of being young that made me feel smarter in terms of raw cognitive ability. It's also being young, broke and bored. Being bored and having time that comes with being young allows you to become insanely talented in specific areas. I sincerely think a life peaks around 34 as a man. You start making a fuck ton of money, you could be in great shape, your value as a male is at its peak.
>I don't really care about being hot with low bf anymore. Who cares.
You seem smart anon, I ask you to reconsider that mentality, being in peak shape is an amazing feeling regardless of age.
>>58201895
This is also very true, buying power is being absolutely destroyed to erratic the middle class which is just a segway to becoming rich if you play it smart. They don't want high paying jobs to exist anymore.

>>58199890
Ok, $55k is when I bite, and then I'll hold longer.
>>58203484
I figure my two options are:
1) Wait for a big dip that doesn't happen and miss out on gains and nothing changes to my situation.
2) Buy in now, it tanks, and now I'm down a bunch.
Buying in near a previous ATH doesn't feel right, even now with ETFs being part of the game.
All those articles on Forbes, etc, that talk about the bull run to $120k with this halvening -- I figure it's better to be a contrarian in this case.

>>58203518
Same here. We're the lucky ones.

>>58202646
Time is ticking, overdue debts come due in bulk.

>>58198316
You will always miss the past, it's natural as you grow older, your bones hurt, life gets harder, and you lose the freedom you had as a kid/teen/young adult
its like with retards saying "AI ruins everything bla bla bla", photography didn't replace painting, you fucking idiot. like, look at shit like baseai, it's a token and supported by ai, it's not taking anyone's job nor replacing people, you can go to the page, have some fun and get out. It ain't that deep.

>>58203810
I don't have debt

>>58202931
No man ever steps in the same river twice

>>58198316

No. I was a meth addict when I was 19 and now I'm a multimillionare at 30 and in better shape.

>>58202900
>tfw never a petite emo gf

>>58198316
Not really
I'm in the other 50% of men who age like wine
There are men my age (28) who are getting uglier every year. I look better every year and it hasn't slowed down once
Plus, I am far less retarded than I was when I was young. I feel like I gained consciousness at 25 years old

>>58200917

They don't after 30? Was I mislead into the "peak 30's" meme?

I am 30 and my life is exactly the same as it was when I was 19

>>58202081
thanks gonna try that. my joint and connective tissue always are sore or fucked up
