I'm 42 and OH is 46 next month. My kids are 12 (nearly 13), 11 and 8;)
Lilac Lady, you look very good for 60:D0 -
Ok then, I'll admit to being 59! DH is 61 and we too had to be very OS when we were first married (38 years ago this year). Life is much easier financially for us than back then, but with retirement looming we're back into OS with a vengeance. I'm full of admiration for all younger OSers, as I find it hard working full-time to be as OS as I'd like.Resolution:

Both DH and I are 28, no kids - I'm trying to train him to be OS but I'm trying to break 24 years of parental conditioning - not easy!"All cruelty springs from weakness" - Lucius Annaeus SenecaPersonal pronouns are they/them/their, please.
I'm intolerant of wheat, citrus, grapes, grape products and dried vine fruits, tomato, and beetroot, and I am also somewhat caffeine sensitive.0 -
I was 30 2 weeks ago. DH is 31. DD6 and DS4. I am really trying to be OS and am doing better month on month. Finding it hard but DH tries.

39 - the big one is next year. OH is 41 for a couple more months and two kids, 12 & 9.0

I'm 40 in 13 days time, DH has just turned 50, DD1 is 11 and DD2 is 7.
I love being OS and have been following this path for the past 4 years but I've always been a tightwad! Well to be honest I'm a tightwad for around 90% of the time as life is just too short and we do love having a big holiday every other year. We would also like to pay the morgage off quicker and attempt to retire early from teaching too.
