Retirement age :).

26! I wish I could be Forever 26

Even though 30 is the new 20, and there are perks that come with it... I really don't like admitting I'm in my 30s now!

@mrbee: Oh just the stuff people normally say! More confidence, more sure of yourself, all that identity stuff...! Career is likely in a more stable place, have more money in your pocket (not sure how true this is when raising young kids, ha), and just more overall stability in general. Less of the self-doubt and questioning that comes with being in your 20s and starting off in the real world.

I'm REALLY looking forward to turning 40!
I'm looking forward to turning 35 (in Jan) too!!

I feel like sometimes I'm Ted Mosby ... where I think childhood was an appetizer, adulthood is the main course but old age is your dessert.

I'm really looking forward to just reflecting back on life and doing whatever I want when I'm older, enjoying my grand kids and not having to worry about money since we saved for retirement and made good choices during adulthood (hopefully! *crosses fingers*)

I'm 28 and am pretty good where I am right now. Won't mind getting older until I'm almost 30 I think

I'm looking forward to 40. My kids will be older and that's when I plan to take a lot of time focusing on ME.

35 I think? Or at least before that I didn't mind it. Still love my birthday (it's coming up the end of this month!) but don't love getting older.

@travellingbee: me, too. Mentally and time of life stuff I don't mind aging at all, but physically? Ugh. My health/ wrinkles definitely started acting up at 33ish, and I feel like I have been warp-speed aging since then. 35 was the first b-day I minded and it caught me off guard.
I don't mind aging really but I do look older than some of my peers (desert sun+ Irish skin= no bueno), and I think I will feel better about it when their wrinkles catch up with mine

@cmomma17: you have a great attitude!

I agree 30s have been good to us and I definitely don't look forward to turning a year older anymore!

Probably at 21, I don't dread it but I don't really look forward to it with excitement. Turning 26 next month and I like this age, but don't mind ageing!

I'm looking forward to 40, too I dunno, maybe it's because every decade alive that I celebrate, it feels a bit like a new beginning.

I just turned 30 and still don't feel like a "real" adult--bring on the birthdays!!

Seriously though, I've never been afraid of getting older--like @ducky: said, every decade feels like a new beginning
