I would do it all over again though because I like who I've become that much. If you want to change you will. My mother is 67 and the hippest person around even with technology. She is a baby boomer so you would think she would be curmugeonly and stuck but she is not. My inlaws are the exact same age and they act 10 years older because they are so set in their ways. You grow or you go and that usually always involves change.

I think that you've sparked something that made me want to add, it is true that someone can be "set' in their ways but... the examples you gave just goes to show that you are, only if you choose to be. Set in your ways, I mean. And I don't think that is different at any age but people that are older just tend to choose not to change anymore for any number of reasons more often than younger people.
