Hit the IDGAF stage of aging
Posted by Annual_Egg3323@reddit | GenX | View on Reddit | 239 comments
46/f. Single, no kids. I am happily sitting in the hot tub in the backyard of the house I own, surrounded by an ungodly amount of plants and flowers. My soul dog is on the grass happily chewing his treat. Hanging lanterns and the first flush of this seasons rose blooms surround me. I spent the day with my senior parents and am so lucky they are both still with us. Now I’m smoking a joint listening to an eclectic mix pumping bangers from Paul Simon to Nirvana to the Stones to Dr Dre, and letting the hot tub jets blast my fucked up back. Can’t all be perfect at our age. But it’s fucking chill man. Lovin life.

Now that my 3 kids are all living on their own, this is very similar to my life. At times, I feel some resentment over the last 26 years of peace and tranquility "lost" to child rearing.
Wldchld73@reddit
Your music mix sounds like mine except you let me know I'm missing Paul Simon. Welp, time to add.

There's a lot of power in not giving a shit. 🤘
timmmii@reddit
it's awesome

i'm 56. things i've learned in the last 10 years:
- people who focus on being "too old" for something (shows, events, clubs, dating, etc) and talk about it often are right, you should no longer hang with younger people if that's all you care about.
- I no longer care as much about what others think. Peer pressure is basically gone. It's a delight. Dowhatchulike
- Stay active. Maintaining energy and strength is key as you age.
- Going out alone is totally fine. I love being alone more than ever before. people are great but so is solitude and time for your own thoughts. I have a family and a young child (i became a first-time father at age 47), so it's harder to find solo time, but fortunately i have a spouse who values solo time as much as i do.
- Maintain curiosity about everything. when i was a kid, i was told many times that i "asked too many questions" and "should listen more." This was offensive to me and still is. You'd be amazed at how much information people will share with you if you just ask questions (related: i studied journalism in college because i wasn't afraid to ask hard questions)
- Be kind. It can be hard and i don't always succeed. But ultimately, i firmly believe most of my fellow humans are decent and want the same things i seek. We all have bad days and react poorly. Give others the benefit of the doubt, i'm continually amazed at how responding to anger with kindness quickly brings down the temperature of any heated debate.
- lastly, if you're so inclined, smoke or ingest weed. Whenever i get upset or angry, weed always calms. It just works for my body and brain.
Be kind, rewind!

Disastrous-Fly9672@reddit
Weirdly, for a guy. Blasted straight out of Compton the first few months it was released, then all of their solo albums, now that I've lived a bit of life and seeing how ugly the world has gotten and vulgar overall, I find hip hop and rap nauseatingly aggressive and full of braggadocio that I just can't stomach anymore. Nirvana has played about 22,000 times a day on the radio where I, but I still like Paul Simon, strange, but I've just come to appreciate actual singing voices now. I'm regressing, I'll even put on the Carpenters here and there
sixwax@reddit
I mean, I don't listen to Metallica, Ministry, and Fugazi every day any more either...
Disastrous-Fly9672@reddit
Yeah I guess all these genres are for when you're angry and raging and hormonal.
Now I'm just disappointed and tired.
North_Designer7653@reddit
Just recently have been feeling the same about hip hop
Disastrous-Fly9672@reddit
I recently watched a YouTube video by a black girl who was echoing the same sentiments, so I didn't feel bad about it
East-Raspberry9214@reddit
Making my own ice cream, bread, growing my vegetables. Splitting checks when out for dinner. Stopped hosting every function. (Turns out, some of my fam can pay for themselves, they just assumed I would. Who knew?)
No longer give a shit about any of it. Nada.
Public Enemy got it right: Don’t believe the hype, it’s a sequel.
Annual_Egg3323@reddit (OP)
That all sounds downright fabulous. I am hoping in the next 2 years I can shift to a low stress or part time gig. I'm in my prime earning years and am throwing everything at savings in hopes of retiring early, but man I am TIRED. Also I think this perimenopause shit is making me dumb. I can barely keep a thought in my head and I have a high pressure job that requires full attention.
JayGee2791@reddit
Just want to say I 1,000% feel this. Saving more and dreaming of PT jobs, lower stress work, whatever I can do...but sigh...what about health insurance?
Annual_Egg3323@reddit (OP)
Yeah. Ugh. Gotta save enough for that too
PrizeFalcon9685@reddit
OMG, the dumbness is REAL! I'm 52, but have been in a chemically induced menopause for a decade now. I think my actual menopause is kicking in because some days, I scare myself! Lol
LetsGoYankeez@reddit
Yes! Success!!!
Also, I think the women over 40 subs will appreciate this post! 💕
togetherwegrowstuff@reddit
Idgaf comes from owning. Such a blessing. Good for you. I own no home and am stuck in a terrible economy making terrible wages. Igaf about everything and nothing matters at the same time. Most of who I've loved are dead and gone. Drastic difference. 😟

Mededitor@reddit
The most important aspect of surviving Gen X is having no kids. Your chances for a safe retirement are not impossible, but trying to raise a child (or for god's sake more) will wipe out everything you have. Thankfully, I eschewed children and just *barely* made it to retirement.
Waking up at 10 am, then thinking, "Nah," and going back to sleep is winning the life lottery. No boss. No supervisor. Nobody telling you what to do. You are own master, at last.
In my case, the Master doesn't feel like doing anything.

SnooOnions973@reddit
The difference between you and me is your attitude unfortunately after ending a 10 marriage with a narcissist and then going through cancer and now having been in active menopause for eight years, I do own my own little apartment, but I spend most of it in bed depressed you’re really inspiring. I’ll try to get up.
EnjoyingTheRide-0606@reddit
Third vote for meds. I spent far too long depressed and anxious. I drank to quell anxiety but didn’t even know that’s what drinking was doing until I quit. I spent a few recovering and I love life now! My IDGAF kicked in at 50 in 2019. Life is too damn short for bullspit.
Legitimate_Top_1425@reddit
I agree with the medication comment. They work!
Annual_Egg3323@reddit (OP)
I’m really sorry to hear that. If you’re not already medicating for it, highly recommend it. I hit severe anxiety a few years back and medicating has changed my life. Sending you strength and health.
scarletOwilde@reddit
It’s great, isn’t it?
anonskier@reddit
TL:DR 58 yo male, worked ass off, shit on by job, took magic mushrooms, life changing event, at peace and now IDGAF about stupid shit.
——————————————
You are my (58m) people! I worked my ass off for so many years, flying around the country, blah blah blah. I did this so my kids could have the shit I wish I could have had growing up. My intentions were good but I never considered the regret I would end up with by missing dance recitals and high school band performances because a flight got delayed or whatever other reason I couldn’t arrive in time.
Anyway, after those years of dedication to my job, that’s what my parents did, new upper management came in and decided my department within the company was no longer needed. They “let” me stay with the company with a lower title and reduction in salary. One of the millennials that worked for me explained quiet quitting to me. So now I do the minimum requirements for my current title. It’s not exactly quiet quitting, but i realized how much more I was giving the company compared to what was required from me.
2 years ago my grown kids were having a fire in our backyard and I went out to help them get it started and they offered me mushrooms. I said why not and ate way too many, probably 5 grams. The visuals and everything were just amazing. What happened after that though changed my life entirely. The nonjudgmental introspection of my life and the universe was amazing. That night opened up a type of empathy I didn’t know resided in me. My life is at peace now and i truly DGAF with regard to anything outside of my control.
My music play list has Van Halen, Depeche Mode, ABBA, Neil Diamond, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sublime, NWA, Gordon Lightfoot, Pink, Norah Jones and other shit like that. So yeah I love a mixed up, muddled up, shook up playlist.
KennyFulgencio@reddit
maybe I should have kids...
anonskier@reddit
I put on a big, exaggerated show to make their friends die laughing and my kids to roll their eyes.
chuckb218@reddit
Mine will be me the special gummies because they know my back and neck are jacked. Those gummies do more for the pain that what the Drs give
Annual_Egg3323@reddit (OP)
Right?!
TobyDaMan8894@reddit
This realization happened to me also. Love your playlist. That’s us. We can chill/jam/rock/baby making music all day long.
EmilyinExile@reddit
Yes, this is one of the strongest examples of a good reason to have kids that I have ever seen! Also, I also need to get my hands on some mushrooms
Bigworm5@reddit
50 year-old male, married kid no hot tub. I still feel the same.
apc961@reddit
Yep. 45 is about when the strong DGAF vibes started with me.

52M and working circles around people at work and take care of family, many pets, many acres of property, and still take 200mg+ of alt-noids a day, have many hobbles, very engaged online, cook, etc.
Feel great and can not only do everything for myself but for many others. No signs of slowing down. Work hard and play hard. You got this and don’t be scared by specific ages.
Ihaveaboot@reddit
You are lucky. And a bit of a braggart.
I'm figuring out what to do with my dog should I not survive the next year of my health issues.
Will and legal stuff in place.
But glad you are healthy and have no worries.
Boognish-T-Zappa@reddit
Disregard the doomsayers. I can confirm that smoking a joint in the backyard , blasting tunes, and not giving a fuck is still great in your 50s.

I can't help but notice that you wanted to share this information and there's a chance that your life would be even better if you had someone to share it with.

Living alone is pretty damn awesome
Annual_Egg3323@reddit (OP)
No one is here to tell me I’m buying too many plants!
Eyeroll4days@reddit
Exactly
Annual_Egg3323@reddit (OP)
Possibly! I’m 2 years out of about a decade long relationship. The thing that is notable now is I legitimately do not want to be in a relationship unless it truly checks the boxes and is genuinely additive to my life. Before I wasn’t comfortable being single. Now I am, and that’s a big part of NGAF
Twittenhouse@reddit
That's very cool, I'm glad that you shared that.
It's quite an accomplishment. I didn't mean to diminish it in any way, only to say that this great thing has the possibility of being even better with the right person for you.
reb6@reddit
Omg are you me?! 47, single, no kids, love my patio and pool and am transforming my garden this year. My soul dog is snoozing away beside me and I had my family over where I spent the day cooking and doing all of the things.
Cheers to us not giving a single fuck!

49f solo since my grande 2008-2018 douche bags only season without a single Good Morning or Good Evening type text. I choose my own happiness and peace above all else. I do have 2 grown children with my youngest now in the last year of his 20s so I can safely say my bucket o fucks has been dry for a minute.
I’m in the apartment I pay for, driving the car I make payments on but it’s a far cry from the sleeping on the street without a car to “prove my love” with two black eyes and a busted lip. I had to pay a monthly bill this morning with my credit card, but again, it’s my bill and I’m super stoked to have the ability to pay the credit card with my next check. I have a good career with a decent salary and all I’m sure of today is the more you give of yourself, the more people take of you and leave you without.

I’ve had the opportunity to do so many times over the years. I have zero interest whatsoever in starting my own business, too much responsibility. I do some basement remodels on the side for friends, nothing too crazy, and they get a good deal because of the friends and family discount, but even that is coming to an end. I just want to get to retirement…

Despite a decrease in migraine frequency and a ct last week, it must be a brain tumor.
My wife and I are still trying to have children (she’s a decade younger than me)….
I quit drinking , not because I wanted to but because i physically can’t handle the after effects.

i would rather be bald and wrinkled then Plastic and stretched.
I earned this body, each wrinkle chiseled from the years of life I've had, and I love every single one of those years, it had the best fucking soundtrack, by some of the best to ever do it, from Prince, to Tupac, pearl jam to Creedence Clearwater and back up to NWA. nothing beats our music, and nobody understands it better than us.

Ah I hit that stage a couple years ago. Stepped down from my management role at work and took an entry level job at the same place. No more thinking about it when I'm off.
Annual_Egg3323@reddit (OP)
Oh my. That sounds nice. I was talking to an old friend awhile back and he’s on the same salary we made like 20 years ago. I was like how do you live on that and he said I make it work, I have zero job stress and take no work home with me, ever. I was like DAMN I forgot that feeling even exists. I want to start to slow down work wise in a couple years if I can. That sounds dreamy.

I’m on board. DINK with my wife. 5 years and I think im done. It even until then we are living a great life
Dancinfool830@reddit
Awww yeah, my wife and I, living the DINKWAD(dual income no kids with a dog) life and loving it. I have a friend with a 3d printer, had them make a bunch of glow-in-the-dark fucks, so I am not quite in the same place as OP, I do give a fuck, frequently. Matter of fact, here is a digital one for you to have have. You can keep it for yourself, or give it away, and still have it to give again(the nice thing about the digital ones)
Annual_Egg3323@reddit (OP)
Haha love this
Dancinfool830@reddit
I always have a pocket of fucks so I can pass them off to people who need them. A lot of people need someone to give a fuck, and it makes peoples day
Annual_Egg3323@reddit (OP)

Love it. Had that life until I was 45. Then met my spouse. Now I am 59 with two kids under 6. My spouse is 51. Love our life now too but occasionally yearn for those totally chill axe days.
