It's easy to come up with the 'worse' part. In your 20s and 30s, if you're thinking about the future at all, you're thinking of a lot of nice material things, like big houses and luxury cars and destination vacations. You might be thinking of having a family, but you aren't worried about that deterring you from the material things.
Of course, the reality for most of us is we don't get all of that. With hard work and good luck, you achieve some of those goals, but ultimately you realize there's a big difference between goals and dreams.
Meanwhile, I always conclude the 'better' of it is the non-material things. Family. Friends. Health. I'm old enough now that I don't care about having the biggest house or the nicest toys.
In fact, thanks to the lessons of time, it's a good feeling to not care so much about things that now seem trivial. I still have goals (and dreams), but now the list is shorter. Much shorter.
I said the same thing at 60 that I did and 40 and 50. Achieving a new decade -- age itself -- is a gift. I'm very satisfied with that.
