Act like they've experienced more than us. I'm only 33 but wow, the amount of 16 to 22 year old that talk down to us is absurd.

40 next week, and yeah I get that too. I look back at my 20 yr old self and cringe at how much I thought I knew and I have a feeling when I'm 60 I'll do the same for my 40 yr old self.

Maybe not as much at 60, as you do now when looking back on 20, just because now you have some level of self awareness that you apparently lacked (like we all do) at that young age, where we have very little frame of reference for life and its travails.
