The Big 4-0

Being an over analytical type of guy, I've identified 5 key areas of hitting the big 4-0 that anybody approaching that troubling milestone birthday might find useful

Wardrobe
How big an overhaul, if at all, will your wardrobe require to take you into your forties with your dignity intact?

Hair
Man or woman, can you take long hair into your fifth decade without looking like you're trying to recapture your youth?

Relationships
If you're still single as you approach the big 4-0, do you lower your standards and settle for second best just so you're not on your own?

Health
Interestingly, I'd argue quite a few of my own friends who are either in their forties or on the cusp of forty, are in much better physical shape than they were 10 years ago. This is quite probably down to us seeing a close school friend pass away. But also, in addition to that, I'm guessing as you get older, you become more aware of your health and take the kind of care in your health you took for granted in your younger days.

Success
Does success become less important to you as you get older? Can you move on knowing certain dreams died? How much would accepting that change you as a person?
