The Glory of Being a "40-Something Amateur" There’s a specific kind of magic that happens when you hit your 40s. You finally stop caring if your socks match, you realize that "going out" usually just means "going to the grocery store without kids," and—most importantly—you realize you have absolutely no idea what you’re doing. And honestly? It’s the best feeling in the world. The Myth of the Expert

There’s nothing that builds a bond faster than a group of 40-somethings collectively failing to understand how to use a Discord server or a new piece of gym equipment. Reclaiming the Word

In our 40s, we finally have the perspective to stop doing things because we have to, and start doing things because we love to. We are the Amateur 40-Somethings. We might be slow, we might be messy, and we definitely need to stretch before we start, but we’re having more fun than the experts.
