... that moment when you realise you have more past then future
When you realise the “what I will do when” becomes ... ‘whoops. Not much time left’ 
Listen. I understand the shock when someone asks how you are going to spend the second half of your life - particularly when you‘re young, and think that the second half is just like the first. It’s not. I’m almost 53; I have seen first-hand what happens when ppl don’t prepare

The irony is when you are in your 30s and 40s you think you have a grip on your life perspective for your later years. I’m glad I invested in my future perspective when I was younger. I now have 3 wonderful adult children and a loving wife.

Great advice Stefan. You know the phrase "youth is wasted on the young". After 50 that makes so much sense!

I’m older than you, Stefan. I bought the feminist dogma hook, line and sinker. I rose in my profession, had lots of power and commensurate remuneration. Didn’t notice that the feminists who said I would be a traitor to marry and have kids married and had kids. Shame on me.

I always say my generation of women was misled into believing we could have it all, career and family, that there is always time. There isn’t.

What’s your advice then?

Get married. Have kids. Stay married. Happiest couples I've seen, the wife stays home. It's not for everybody, and there are exceptions, but most people need to do this rather than "find themselves" or obsess over "career" (it's really just a job).

It's amazing/appalling to me how many people seem to think they'll just be able to work like they're 20-30 forever. Stefan's right -- the level of energy and the physical capability drops and keeps on dropping.

Same age as Stefan - I work full time - commute - knackered.

I, too, am almost 53 and I'm truly grateful to be able to say neither half of my life was, or will be, spent as you.
