THINGS TO DO BEFORE YOU’RE 40

(November, 2022) VSP Vision Care polled 2,000 adults, asking them to list the top things one should experience by the time they’ve turned 40. The results:
1. Have a stable job
2. Own a car
3. Go to the doctor more often to care for your health
4. Travel with a person you love
5. Own a home
6. Start a family
7. Learn to cook/bake well
8. Volunteer at a soup kitchen, hospital or senior citizen’s home
9. Donate to charity
10. Start a hobby
11. Conquer a fear (for example, public speaking)
12. Own a business
13. See the New Year’s Eve ball drop in Times Square in person
14. Go through a break-up
15. Go on a solo date
16. Learn at least one new language
17. Ride a roller coaster
18. Watch movies like “This is 40” for laughs
19. Write a letter to yourself
20. Have a romantic dinner at the Eiffel Tower
* Write a letter to yourself from the Eiffel Tower: “Having wonderful time, wish you were here.”
* If you’re watching “This is 40,” it’s not for the laughs.
* Just a heads up – if you go with “Start a family,” you won’t have enough time for most of these.
* Jeeze, this is lame. They forgot “Order something from “Oprah’s Favorite Things Christmas Catalogue” and “Try Every Soup of the Day at Panera Bread.”
* I’ve made these lists before. They’re usually things like “Eat more fiber” and “Clean out the garage” and “Have that thing on my shoulder checked.”
* Could everybody listening take a second and send VSP Vision Care an email saying “You’re not the boss of us”?
