Life changes when you turn 40. The back-aches start in earnest, you have to really start watching what you eat, and you’re more interested in watching the weather forecast than the actual news. But what do I know? I’m not even 30 yet and I think that life’s going to be as awesome in the future as it is now! No aches or secret maladies for me, no siree!
However, internet users that are 40+ have been sharing memes about what it’s like in the fifth decade of life on Earth, and it all seems funny and scary at the same time. Bored Panda has collected the funniest memes for you to nod off to (or laugh at and upvote if you’re still young and free like me!). Don’t worry, it’s all done with good intentions and it’s a bit of harmless fun. After all, in just a few short years, we’ll all be intimately familiar with these memes firsthand.
Bored Panda spoke about how much truth there is in these memes with comedy writer, musical stand-up comedian, and pop star in waiting, Ariane Sherine, who turned 40 last summer. Be sure to read on for my full hilarious and candid interview with her. [Spoiler Warning: yup, it’s just like we feared!]
