Men in Your 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s+: What Do You Wish You Knew Earlier?

I’m a father in my mid-30s with a young son, and I’ve been thinking more about what matters at each stage of a man’s life.
For men who have already lived through their 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond: What should younger men be thinking about or planning for before reaching your decade?
Career, money, marriage, fatherhood, friendships, health, aging parents, regrets, priorities—anything you now realize mattered.
I want to use the perspective both for myself and to share with my son as he gets older.
If comfortable, include your age and where you’re from or cultural background. What should a man know before entering your decade?

If You Could Teach Your Son One Life Lesson, What Would It Be?

I have a young son and have been thinking about the lessons I want to pass down to him about life, character, relationships, money, failure, confidence, and being a good man.

It’s natural when we’re young to tune out our own parents sometimes, so I’d love to collect wisdom from other fathers that might give him a different perspective someday.

What’s one piece of advice, life lesson, or short story you think is worth passing down to a son?

If you’re comfortable, include where you’re from or your cultural background. I’d love to hear perspectives from fathers with different experiences around the world.

Passed AT/T/AT

Just passed, thank you to everyone who contributes here! My turn to provide insight if it helps anyone.

PMI is going to a new version of the test on 7/9/2026, i would research youtube videos that focus on the new format or schedule and complete the current version prior to.

PMP FAST TRACK: David Mclacklan
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUOJ_yEeyuc
This video is  great to get an easy to understand baseline of the test info, basic PMP info and the different PMP processes. 

COMPLETED MINDSET PRINCIPLES: Andrew R
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-u0rO-YQr9c
This video was crucial to understanding the mindset, how to cross out incorrect answers and choose the right one**.**

Fully understanding these and PMI Study Hall mentioned below can get you to the finish line.

Highly encourage PMI Study hall to practice exam questions (increments of 15), review incorrect AND correct answers to understand why you were right or wrong.

I would take a FULL practice exam on study hall to train yourself to sit for 3 hours so you have confidence going into the real exam.

General test info, not much on calculations i would not waste time, most was situational and using the Andrew R mindset. There was some on the relationship focused around scrum master which i was not prepared for so its good to understand more than just the PMs role.

General steps for answering questions on the exam:

Identify which type of project it is (traditional, hybrid, agile) 

What stage of the project are you in?

Use 50 mindset principles to eliminate the wrong answers

Usually have 2 options left, reread the question and choose which relates more to the question and the issue shown.
