Is 40 too late to start over? Or is it the perfect time?

Are you feeling like 40 is too late to start over? Or could it be the perfect time for a fresh beginning? In this video, we dive into the transformative potential of midlife changes and why 40 might be the best age to reinvent yourself.
Whether you're contemplating a career shift, a new lifestyle, or pursuing a long-held dream, it's never too late to take that leap. I'll share insights and motivations while also addressing the importance of mental health in making these changes.
Join me on this journey as I strive to hit 1,000 subscribers by Christmas! Your support means the world to me. Let's prove that 40 is just the beginning.

Love this

[@Learninglifeover40]

Love this too!!!!!

[@Gary_Luke]

If I was starting over in my mid 40s I'd be tempted to buy a van, hit the road and become a full time van lifer!

[@keithparker1346]

I was considering that when I lived in Switzerland

[@johnbrander4594]

You’re still young my friend ! The older I get the more I realize how important it is to start over. It keeps you young and on your toes

[@gabionwall4601]

It's never too late to start again, I have done it a few times. Good luck.

[@Phillip_Deane]

Thank you

[@salvatoremacri3343]

We're in the same boat, man. The 40s is the perfect age to start over-you're not too old, and you have a lot of experience.

[@Phillip_Deane]

@@salvatoremacri3343 Thanks Sal

[@tazminmoore455]

I found this channel by accident, wasn't searching for anything related to its content. So, guess I was meant to find it! I'm 62 and two years ago life twisted in a sudden, unexpected way and I found myself single again after 20 years. I can truthfully say that losing almost everything I have is the best thing that's happened to me. It's given me a different perspective on life and on who I am. A new beginning and fresh start is exactly what I needed ( although I didn't realise it at the time ). I'm moving to NI next month 😂😁, bought a house in Co Down. I don't know anyone, I don't know where anything is, I have no job, very little money to support myself and pets until I find a job, starting completely from scratch again. There is a saying that if you believe you can then you most likely will! Bringing my bike and my kayak and my hiking boots 😁. I look forward to following your progress with your new beginning and fresh start.

[@sarahtaylor546]

Starting over! Thank you for your importation. Looking forward to following your journey

[@Learninglifeover40]

Good luck with the fresh start

[@Chill-bird1]

Your here who hoo

[@joelr1112]

I'm 41 and i feel like I can still experience life to the fullest. Excercise and nature are key to my well-being

[@markjohn4802]

I'm 60 and starting over, strike while the irons hot ! Who's that woman that's 116?

[@Phillip_Deane]

Maria Branyas Morera I believe ! What a great achievement, Great to hear from you have you any goals in place?

[@tazminmoore455]

Well done 😀! Enjoy the journey!

[@totomesch1940]

I'm 51 and starting all over again. Just like you, I've been an ex-pat for the last 32 years. Kids are grown-up and settled, split up with the Mrs (not my decision) but luckily we have a property that when split gives me a nice, tidy sum to be able to buy something outright in the UK. I did consider hitting the road and getting a nice van, I do a lot of solo, long distance hiking so that itch has been scratched really. I'm looking forward to some peace & solitude, maybe the Scottish borders or the Western Highlands, and doing what makes me happy. Good luck on your journey & thanks for posting this video. ATB

[@Phillip_Deane]

Thanks for sharing your story. It sounds like you're embarking on an exciting new chapter, and I can certainly relate to the mix of emotions that come with starting over. Like you, I've spent many years as an ex-pat, and now I'm ready to embrace new adventures. I'm glad to hear that you're considering van life-it offers such a unique blend of freedom and exploration. Your experience with solo, long-distance hiking sounds incredible, and it's great that you've been able to scratch that itch. The Scottish borders and the Western Highlands are stunning choices for finding peace and solitude, perfect for reconnecting with what makes you happy. Wishing you all the best on your journey. Thanks for sharing and for the inspiration.

[@AnnDeane]

Its the perfect time to start over 40 is young and you still have your life yo ork on you still have your 50s 60s 70s 80s and 90s so its the perfect yomw to start over #amy#

[@alancran7612]

My advice would be to get fit

[@rachell4694]

You are never too old to start again.

[@Phillip_Deane]

Absolutely 100 Percent 🙌🏽

[@thomascharnock]

It's never too late to start over mate. I'm in the same position, aged 42 and trying to start over in terms of changing career path. Thanks for the video and the positive vibes.

[@Phillip_Deane]

Thank you for leaving your comment.

[@AnnDeane]

Good😊

[@traveller48017]

Never to late! Great video and looking forward to see your next chapter in life 🙂I had worked abroad for a some years, came back to Denmark and started when I was 40 getting a "High School" degree so I could enter the university. Finished my BEng degree a few years ago and in 6-7 month, I'll be graduating with a MSc in Engineering...and I'm 51 now! Sure, there were a few "hick-ups" along the way, but I'm close and I'll still have some 18-20 years ahead of me before I can retire. Midlife crisis or reinvent myself? Maybe part of it, but mostly to change career and more fun job / possibilities in the future.

[@Phillip_Deane]

Thank you so much for your positive and encouraging message. Your journey is truly inspiring, and it’s wonderful to hear how you've reinvented yourself and pursued your dreams. Your story is a great reminder that it’s never too late to make meaningful changes in life.

[@unclepigg]

the algorithm is showing me a lot of people like you now. It's inspiring. I'm 47 now but still as lost as ever. I've been making a new start in my head for decades but nothing ever happens 😆 Too much overwhelm. If I started a channel it would be about too many scattered topics. But then again, i need to actually DO something. My current existence is a soulless one.

[@Phillip_Deane]

My best advise is just start. I find the answers find you quicker when you take the first step. I totally understand how you feel I felt the same but believe me if you're feeling this Its because you are mesnt for something bigger and better Keep an eye out for Sundays video 😉

[@Deddmantalking]

My channel is a garbled mess

[@Learninglifeover40]

Just start.. I did last week and mine is a mess but it’s my mess, and It’s helping me tidy the mess up ready for a fresh start

[@peternall6566]

​@@Phillip_DeaneWhat a mega comment to that comment. Kudus to to you Phillip. Phillip is right. Just do it. You sound like you'd be really entertaining. Best wishes to you both. Pete

[@timpage3142]

Good luck to you chap. Wishing you the very best.

[@Phillip_Deane]

Many thanks for your lovely comment ❤️

[@joannedibben2352]

A great time to start a new life you go for it wishing you every happiness❤

Thank you very much for your support ❤️

[@gregmurphy2691]

Sooo, whats the new job mate? I just turned 41 and starting over, career, friends and life in general. 4 years ago i was a raging alcoholic, which lasted about 5 years. So now im piecing my life back together. Its not easy, but much better than the life i overcame. It really is never too late.

[@rulebritannia1553]

Expat in Australia 🇦🇺 Thanks 🙏

[@MillionaireInCR-V]

I’m in my 40s too and have the concerns you just addressed. Loved this video and your authenticity. Looking forward to watching your journey.

[@Phillip_Deane]

Thank you very much.

[@garychilds1130]

You can do it once you have a good job and some income and some where to live everything will be ok

[@Phillip_Deane]

Im getting there. Step by step

[@tenminutetokyo2643]

There is never a perfect time. You must make it perfect. Effort = results. Every day is day zero. The 100 push ups a day is one of the best things you can do. In 5 years time it will make you a Superman.

[@garychilds1130]

I live in Thailand and all my life saving was stolen when I was 64 2 years before my pension was due and because I retired at 42 I don't get a full pension I had to sale my car and most of what I owned to get me through to the pension date and in Thailand its not easy to work but I started again at 64 years old now I'm 68

[@Shanghai_Knife_Dude]

You could make a video about your stolen lifetime saving. So dramatic.

[@jay-lm4we]

​@@Shanghai_Knife_Dude Never mind a video, there's potential for movie 🎬 😂

[@vids290]

Subscribed! 👍🏾 I got married last year at 46, been teaching myself financial literacy, investing and building a stocks and shares portfolio since 2021, just started re-training and studying to become a driving instructor after a very patchy and inconsistent career driving vans and small lorries, i read and play chess everyday, back in the gym body and mind feeling great, im actually really excited about the future so here's to all us 40 sometings...life is just practise up till 40 lol All the best to you on your journey pal.

Brilliant video well done Phillip, more awareness needed Why dont you do a fundraiser for Mental Health, or the 1000 subscriber gets to pick a challenge to raise awareness.

[@Phillip_Deane]

Great Idea

[@Chill-bird1]

Wow uncle 69 subs already

Try Thailand, you will be 25 forever there. But think of a Thai man on his 40s, he's got nowhere to go.

[@garethhodson3896]

I’m 45 ran my own business for 20 years - I am in the process of closing it down and going back employed for my family sake Mid life crisis? Or your priorities change as you get older?

[@BillLaBrie]

Too late for what? To be a ballerina? A roofer? Probably. Depends.

[@Deddmantalking]

I'm out in car with 2 bbqs right now, had enough

[@Phillip_Deane]

There are plenty of free helplines available to speak to people it really does help to speak take that first step.

[@Deddmantalking]

@@Phillip_Deane 2 years I've tried

[@ryanryanryanryanryan572]

40 is probably too late. I'm tired. I cannot do the things I used to do. Nobody will help anyway.

[@Phillip_Deane]

There is plenty of time. We are still young

[@tazminmoore455]

It's not too late! I'm 22 years older than you and I've done it! If you believe you can then you will!!

[@caffeinatedhuman4035]

You seriously only 40? 🙃 You look 58

[@Phillip_Deane]

Why Thank you

[@PaddyMcann]

you have not aged well
