That's usually a thing for the 40s though?

Don't forget that life expectancy is much lower in the states, a 30yo American is as worn out as a 40 yo European

Seriously? I know that some jobs (like construction worker) make a difference, but...

Diet and exercise make a difference too. Most Americans eat a lot more calorific food and walk/cycle a lot less.

Ah right, corn sirup in bread and all.

Just the bread? Lol

It's more like "hey look there's food particles in my corn syrup! I got lucky!"

I wasn't gonna factcheck some banter on a meme community but yeah, the disparity is lower :)

typically in your 40s you have deep roots in your community and family obligations so its harder to bounce.
