Please. Take extra care of yourself.
Not because you are “old”, “older”, or “over the hill”.
Take care of yourself, because you are a living treasure.
At 40-plus you have been an adult for longer than you were a teen/child. That means your life is far more than what others invested in (or did to) you. It is largely a result of the compound interest that comes from the investment of your own precious time and energy. Would you discard a financial investment that has been compounding interest and having principle added to it for at least 21 years? I bet you wouldn’t.
Don’t do it to yourself, either.
