In the New York Post on November 7, 2022 there is an article titled Top 20 things you should experience before turning 40: poll. A similar article by Elizabeth Elizalde appeared earlier at SWNSdigital on November 4, 2022 with a less informative title that 4 in 5 Americans believe it’s important to have healthy eyes to experience the best moments in life. It reported results from a survey of 2,000 adults done for VSP Vision Care between September 30 and October 4, 2022. Results are shown above via a bar chart. The Top Ten things Americans say they should experience before turning 40 are:
1] Have a stable job 29%
2] Own a car 28%
3] A 3 way tie: Go to the doctor more often to care for your health, Own a home, Travel with a person you love 26%
4] Start a family 25%
5] Learn to cook/bake well 23%
6] Volunteer at a soup kitchen, hospital or senior citizen’s home 22%
7] Donate to charity 21%
8] A tie: Conquer a fear (e.g. public speaking) and Start a hobby 20%
9] Own a business 19%
10] See the New Year’s Eve ball drop in Times Square in person 18%
An item which tied for eighth caught my attention: Conquer a fear (e.g. public speaking). But I didn’t do that before turning forty. Later on I did by joining a Toastmasters club here in Boise.
