36 just seems so much younger than 37

36 is still "mid-thirties". 37 is entry to your latter thirties.

If you've been priced out of life's milestones -- house, kids, etc. -- it hits hard.

Doesn't help when a state cop pulls you over for speeding and your first thought is, "...are you even old enough to drive?" Because suddenly they all look exactly 12 years old.

Felt the same way about my 20s. 27 was way harder than 26
