I think around 45 is when you start to take it easy

I’m 41, with two kids. We still party like college students, but can afford ubers and better alcohol. Well, until Coronavirus hit.

likefunnyuplifting

I am in late 40s and no kids, so before this pandemic crap I would fly to Rio or Madrid or London or LA and would party there. And yes, you go to better clubs and drink better stuff cause you can afford it, but back home it’s mostly home life and working out

It’s your life!! Who cares about any other standard other people have... As long as you work hard you can play hard if you want to.

I am against ageism.

It’s never too late for that! Live your life to the fullest. Tomorrow is never promised. 🥺

When you start to realize you’re easily the oldest person in the room (except for the 23 year old who thought it would be cool to being their grandma to the bar for shits & giggles) then you could probably start to back off a little. Or not, whatever.

U never too old to paaaatttttyyyyyy

You are never too old. Go and do whatever feels good and helps you relax (within the law) and stop asking for permission to have fun.

Never to old! Everything in moderation however.

Once you have babies to take care of you should not turn up so much

23.

Lol I’m 23 and I no longer care to go out (I was never much a partier and I’m an introvert) sorry if I projected that on to u. Go out when you feel like it. You’re a grown ass ____*.

lol don’t listen to one response in here. If you want to go out, then do it! Do whatever makes you happy/is fun, etc

30 is my limit.

depends on the city. 50 year olds go out in Seoul and drink all night

Holy crap, 26? Don’t you have grandkids? Set a better example pops

I started winding down around 25.

You’re never too old to party! Although getting older does mean you can afford to go to nicer places and better drinks.

29, but after undergrad partying should mean going out to a bar to dance and have drinks with friends no more than a few times per year. Not getting completely hammered. Other than that it’s hanging out and going to brunch, and the like.

Early 30s here. I’m bored with going to bars just for the sake of going to bars, but I think that is mostly because I am married so what’s the point. However, a pool lounge, hookah bar, festival, anywhere with live music (i.e. anywhere with an activity) is still a lot of fun.

I had to rescind my acceptance to an offer at EY back in April because I had a medical issue present for a surgery and I didn’t want to complicate things with time off and changes in insurance and such since it was a scary process in and of itself.

I still see postings for the role online.

Just got my first pet - Teacup/Toy Yorkie! (Wife and I have been wanting a dog and quarantine seemed like the perfect time to get one)

Was looking for Pet Insurance for him. PwC offers a 10% discount through ASPCA. Was wondering what pet insurance everyone else has and if any company is preferred?

I’m thinking of a plan with a $250 deductible with 90% reimbursed with a 10k annual limit of total reimbursements. Thoughts/opinions on this?
