I’m 45. Seen it all. 20 yrs in tech. Nothing excites me. People fighting over useless coding standards for software that won’t live for more than 2-3 yrs. Marriage has become stale as well. We both don’t dress up or go for any dates anymore. Kids busy with college prep. Work is just more toxic and political at my level. Nothing seems to excite me anymore other than eating good food. Just ranting. TC 250k+stocks

Lol. After a while it's all the same.
No really the same. I’ve been to 35 countries.
what's your level?
What would you advice to folks entering 40?
It’s called a mid life crisis
You need a mid life crisis. Do something crazy. Live again
I am in mid 30s. I already have the feeling. Working for survival with the monthly paycheck. Most of my friends I speak to are already in the same boat.
Sounds like you need a hobby pal. Try lifting weights or biking or something. Also could be a symptom of low testosterone (assuming you're male).
Definitely get those hormone levels checked. My T levels dropped soooooooo low after I got COVID but I didn't know it, all I knew was that I felt depressed. Blood test revealed low T and things improved after some pills.
lol. I love how every thread on Blind devolves into "are you Indian" and/or "do you have low T"/"you need to lift".
I feel this, my dude / dudette. Getting high and eating junk food on the weekends is almost the only thing I look forward to anymore. My advice? Focus on your family relationships, invest in your marriage, make time for your spouse. And be grateful for what you have, people all over the planet would trade places in an instant to have your TC. Every day set aside time to list things you are grateful for.
Don’t worry ai is going to automate all that away. Hope you saved up that nest egg

Just ranting.
Take your wife on a fancy date without kids. Take her to mani pedi, then a fancy restaurant. Bring her home for a nice massage and bang her hard. Thank me later.
