Good Lifestyle

There is something comforting in the cultural seismic offset between Pre-40 andpost-40. Once you go through this threshold of age, you will start to love things you used to avoid, making improvements that seemed like a waste of money and possess things that seemed to have Dreams of pipes in your youngest years. Here are 20 things that only people over 40 have in their name, practice (in cash) to thought (stationery) to the nostalgic (a camera, not a cameratelephone)

We arrived at a time when the digital bank was only a glimmer in the United States Bank's eyes. So who could blame us for the peace of mind to know that we always have real money on the hand? In addition, you never know when a store can have a minimum card load or their machines could be entirely. Having money in hand is the responsible thing to do and as 40-something, you are ready for everything.

Of course, SMS and email have rendered so fast and easy. And we appreciate these modern amenities as much as anyone. But there is something about taking the time to really write a letter, on the personal stationery composed of the best stock of paper, which feels special. Above all, we still remember the excitement of getting a letter in the mail. It means that the recipient feels important in a way that an email will never be.

We have ordits, of course. But no futuristic technology will never give us up our books. We love the smell of them, we love the ritual to pass through the net pages of a new reading. We love the weight of them in our hands,the way they look at our shelves, as a work of art representing all the stories we enjoyed over the years. Nope, sorry, you will never take our books.

We are not talking about these cheap acrylic frameworks that you can find in Box stores. Yes, a wooden frame could cost a little more, but it seems so easier to suspend your wall. You have just reached a scene in life when you want your home to look like a house and not to a university dormitory.

Remember the day you discovered that cooking was not just a chore but could be one of the most satisfying and relaxing parts of your day? A child of 20 or 30 years could go with a kitchen that barely has more than one microwave, but that anyone over 40 can not survive without his instantaneous pot, mixer of Kitchenaid and and again .

There is little as frustrating as digging through a drawer looking for an ibuprofen. People over 40 have learned to anticipate their needs, and that means storing their drug cabinet not only with the things they need today, but also the things they havestrength Need in almost future antacids, headache, cough drops, nasal decongestants and additional toothpaste tubes.

Being ready also includes what we need for a power failure situation at any time, starting with a functional flashlight of industrial quality. It is a pride point for any 40-year self-respect. Even though this big urgency never comes, we always love the feeling of being prepared. We can even check the batteries from time to time. That's right: we areready.

In your 40-year-old, your closet has a lot more than one pair of dresses and sometimes in more interesting shades than brown and black. After all, our shoes should not be a reflection afterwards. We want shoes that look like an essential part of our wardrobe. We walked for kilometers when we reach mid-life - and we will do it with style.

Anyone over 40 has been worn around the block we no longer need to exaggerate our work history. If something we need to leave jobsdeactivated Our CV, so it does not look so cluttered. Is it not nice to finally have acareer deserves to boast of?

Well, of course, they are notnecessary. We really appreciate the ritual of business cards exchange. It is so much more sophisticated than reaching your phone and typing clumsily in the details of each. James Bond does not attend his details. He would give you a business card.

Yes, a whole room has just devoted to your career. Not a guest room that also has a desk in the corner. If a home office contains a sweater-out sofa and an elliptical bike, it does not count.

When you have invested in a beautiful living room series, you will be a little more protective. This means that all drinks, hot and cold, go on a coaster. No exceptions!

No, not this mass bourbon you get to the grocery store. We are talking about rare and high-end simple barrels from front. You may have invested in a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle, which costs more than most college courses. People can make fun, but for us, it's an investment in our taste buds.

Why would not you want a car that does not seem to be used as a fortune basket? It is not enough to make sure that the rear seat is not filled with fast food and old plastic grocery bags. When you have more than 40 years, you take your car to be cleaned even if it is not particularly dirty. The smell of a dashboard after being cleaned with a damp cloth is one of our greatest pleasures on the planet Earth.

Most 40-year-olds prefer theCompany of a pet Who knows at least how to be calm around people and is not likely to bite a stranger without warning or take off the moment when a door is left open. We do not take the slight breeding of our puppies at this stage of life.

Of course, it's not as practical as getting your news online.Newspapers are voluminous and tend to leave ink on your fingers. But there is intimacy to go on the couch with paper Sunday and a cup of coffee. If there is a better way to start a lazy weekend day, we would like to hear it.

Preferably luggage withWheels. This well-worn duffel bag was good when your wardrobe did not need to be ironed and professional. Now we are too worthy to wear clothes that arrive at the destination in search of the skin.

The printing of an air ticket may not seem necessary to the youngest, but for us, it's worth it to have something less to be underlined at the airport. As you can or not have noticed, airports tend to have unreliable wireless internet connection. Or you can leave your phone in a kiosk or taxi. It's always a good idea to have backup. (And yes, we promise to recycle the paper version.)

We have nothing against devices that can do everything, but we also appreciate the simplicity of an old camera capable of doing one thing and doing it well. We do not care if we can also use it to send SMS from our friends or respond to our emails or scroll through social media. We also love all these things too, but there is something sublime on a camera that isalonea camera.
