I'm 38 now.
But I must say... between 35-38 I have dramatically declined in power. nothing specific -- just overall power and state of my physique.. is dying.
i now realize why athletes have dramatic decline in 30's... by mid-30 you are lucky if you don't feel pain and aches regularly. by late 30's and probably 40's, you are literally dying from a pure molecular/cellular level. I can feel it. I do pushups or stretch and my shoulders are always tight and sore. I ran 5km for charity and was bit sore few 2 days later.. i did few squats other night and legs were still bit sore 2 days after... overall its not good.
Anyways... thats life man. I'm very happy i'm not injured and have serious problems yet. But i can't let genetics make me lazy i am thinking to start runniny daily or cycling.. must focus on health these days not for anything except to feel better. Will update on how that plan goes.
Also looking at buying house now.... gotta fill out damn mortgage pre-approval forms. We shall see -- if only I could decide where to live long term then I could buy !!

The latest dope
Lets see.. many things happening.
1. Snowboard season start, going to Whistler in New Years yeaaah! i'm going w/ a group including a gal that is my semi-true love.. girl i have liked for a long long time.. even though i have a girlfriend now.. we'll see how that turns out.
2. I am trying to focus for year end.. one more month left.. I feel I have done so little this year. I wish I had more motivation to wake u early, run, plan things for work, and help my team more.. but alas i'm a dying soul.
3. Thoughts of retirement.. hmmmm
Retirement is an interesting one. I haven't done the math really, but I wonder if my loose high roller lifestyle is causing me to sacrifice early retirement .... or is it not significant ?
Case in points on waste:
1. Daily taxi to work. Cost $25 a day x 250 = $6000 a year ! Hmmm if I did this for 10 years.. $60k !
2. Rent. Moving from $5k apt to $3k apt. Effective saving is $1k after tax. $1k x 12 x 10yrs... $120k !
3. Coffee. Including weekends, 10 coffee per week x $3.50 on avg x 52wk x 10yrs = $18k !
4. Travel. I prob spend $10k a year on travel x 10yrs = $100k !
5. Snowboarding. $300 per trip avg * 10 trips * 10yrs + equip ($5k) = $35k !
6. Entertainment (eating out, drinking, cigars, ...). I dunno.. $10k a year * 10 = $100k
Hmm i suppose if I add it all up, its $500k in extra savings by the time I'm 48 if I cut down on everything fun in life. Hmmmmmmmmmm. Bah maybe i should cut out coffee.....
haha
