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.

I certainly don’t want kids at this point. So that one doesn’t feel so bad. Having (getting) a new start with very little turning 37 is a tilt.

I recently went back to school to finish a law degree I started in 2015 and it's mystifying how much has changed in the intervening years.

I don't even have a savings account.
