When I was younger, I thought “making it” meant money, hustle, status. Now I just want stability, a calm mind, and maybe a good dinner. No shade to ambition, but these days, peace of mind feels like the bigger flex. Curious if other guys have had this quiet shift too, or if I just got tired.
To help jumpstart this community I am reposting questions from /r/AskMenOver30 that I think are good. The original reddit post can be found here.
After covid, my priorities changed significantly. I just want a roof over my head and to spend time with my family. I’ve come to realize that the hustle and grind we’ve been sold all our lives was a lie to get us to produce more for our capitalist overlords. All I want is to go home at the end of the day and spend some time on my hobbies, and time with my wife. Everything else is noise.
