Turning 50 this year, need to share my experience and sought feedback
I will turn 50 this year (Phew !). I am married and have a 11 year old son. Been working at a consultant in an IT company. Total net worth has crossed 2 CRs which included Mutual Funds, EPFs, PPFs, NPS, Gold etc. Have a Zero debt. So you can say living life comfortably (Touchwood). Love collecting stamps, old collectibles and watch movies on IMAX, though I am careful to be within budget spending on these stuffs.
When I was in my 20s, I used to thought that turning 50 means turning old. But here i am, hitting half century in next few months, but still hasnt started feeling 'that old'. There is still childlike excitement about upcoming new movies and stamps :)
Only thing that has changed is that I don't crave for most material things now. They dont give that much happiness now. I used be an avid reader but found reading boring now. Same case with gaming. I used to own PS2, PS3 and PS4 but gaming too doesn't excite me anymore. I hardly finish any Netflix series.
Only thing that matters is a good clean home to stay, well being of family and a fit body.
I am not sure if this is part of some 'mid life crisis' but I am happy to be contend with whatever I am.
Is anyone experiencing the same feeling ? Or any thoughts to share?
P.S
This is my first Redditt post. I love reading posts on Frugal_Ind and has learned quite a bit :)
