7 Thing to Do When You Turn 50

Turning 50 doesn’t mean that you automatically swap your dare-devil lifestyle for Metamucil and early-bird dinners; 50 is a fabulous age that comes along with certain freedoms and rights of passage. You no longer have to worry about impressing others and you live to impress yourself. At 50, you are comfortable in your own skin and proud to be who you are.

If you have kids, they are likely grown and able to serve themselves (for the most part), which presents a world of freedoms in and of itself. In fact, with such inhibitions, certainty, and freedom, this is the perfect age to achieve all of those things you never had the nerve to, do or just never found the time to do.

If your 50th birthday is around the corner, instead of dreading it, look forward to it with great excitement. You are 50 years young! You are fresh and fabulous, ready to take on the world!

Celebrate turning 50 with thrilling, exciting, and even daredevil stunts that you may have never had the nerve to do before. Here are seven fantastic things to do once you reach this glorious age.

Take the Trip of a Lifetime

Celebrate your “coming of age” by finally taking that trip you have always wanted to go on. You know, the one that you put off because you didn’t have the money or the time. Have you always had the desire to snorkel in the Great Barrier Reef? Go do it! Dying to see the Great Wall of China? Book a trip to walk across it. Whatever your dream trip is, embark upon it when you turn 50.

Do a Daredevil Stunt

At 50, you’re still young and agile enough to do daring things, and you may find that you even have more nerve to actually do them now than you ever did before. Go bungee jumping, try skydiving, learn how to ride a motorcycle, and scale a huge cliff – the options really are limitless.

Go Topless on the Beach

Have you ever had the urge to, er, expose yourself, but never could quite get up the nerve? Well, with that newfound sense of security, you might find that 50 is the perfect age to finally fulfill that desire, and going topless on the beach is a great way to do so. Make sure you do it on a beach where topless sunbathing is permitted – landing yourself with a ticket or in jail is probably not on your list of things to do.

Get a Tattoo

You’re 50! Celebrate this milestone age with a tattoo. Just make sure that you don’t get something that you’ll regret. Make it meaningful and something you’ll enjoy looking at forever.

Treat Yourself

If you’ve spent your entire life putting off or not doing things because your money was more wisely spent elsewhere, it’s time to start treating yourself. You’ve been scrimping and saving for years, and splurging on yourself now should be highly anticipated! The expensive necklace you’ve been eyeing or a overprice bottle of perfume are great ways to treat yourself.

Live out a fantasy

Your love life can be even hotter in your 50s than it was in your 20s, and that is due largely in part to experience and a lack of inhibitions. If you’ve always had a fantasy, live it out with your loved one.

Strut Your Stuff

Head out for a hot night on the town with your significant other or with your best friends. Dress to impress and enjoy an evening of dinner and dancing. Show the hot, fabulous 50-year-old that you are.

Getting older is a beautiful thing. Celebrate turning 50 with these activities or come up with a few of your own. Fortunately, they don’t all have to be accomplished within your fiftieth year – keep them up for many years to come.
