18, don't you feel old already?
I'm 19 and it's all going sooooo fast. I'll be 30 before I even know it. And when you're 30 you aren't allowed to have fun anymore, you have to be a "serious adult".
You'll be 40 even faster. And when you passed 40 you'll be REALLY old. If you have kids they will be hitting puberty (or just passed it) and you won't be able to understand them, because you're a grumpy old parent, just like your parents are now.
And then you'll become 50... 50 FFS.... half a century... You might be a grandfather then... you'll have grey hair, all sorts of little diseases. Your joints will become rusty. You won't be able to run up the stairs anymore. Days will pass even faster and the end will be nigh.
Then you'll hit the 60... you can be happy if you survived this long, and if you did, you'll still be working your ass off. With a bit of luck your kids kids will hit puberty and will come running to you because "the big bad parents" don't let then play the computer the whole day.
Then, one day, you will be able to retire and "enjoy" what you have built up in your life.
You won't be able to climb stairs anymore, or walk normally and you'll probably have had one or two strokes by that time. You will only eat pudding, and will be a strain on the national budget because "the oldies cost more money than they bring in". Hell, most of the "youngsters" will be wishing you dead so the government has more to spend on their roads and education.
Then, one day you'll realise you have thrown your life away working all the time. Not spending any time with your children or wife only because you were busy making money. You'll be feeling sorry for yourself for not having stood up for yourself or for the ones you are supposed to love on so many occasions.
You'll feel alone because no one will come visit you because everyone hates you for being old and not understanding. You're more a pain in the ass than a blessing.
Then one day, you'll die... you'll die knowing that all of your life was useless. You haven't contributed anything to society and you've disappointed so many people. You'll die knowing you've ruined entire lives for your own wellfare.
And then: blackness, nothingness... all gone...
Have a nice day and enjoy the rest of your life.
