I am pushing 40 and no aches. Don't know what is meant by the meme.

I'm guessing you exercise regularly? I suspect the young pains thing is mostly from living a sedentary lifestyle.

I lived a really sedentary lifestyle for about 10 years and everything started hurting. The good news for people in their 30s is that it's probably not too late to turn it around. It's crazy what a little exercise can do

It's either that or the opposite end of the spectrum: being used and abused by physical labor jobs until you can't work anymore.

I exercised a lot in my 20s but with my office job and working from home post pandemic I became extremely sedentary. Maybe it's a good call to exercise again. I also have to get over a sports injury with physio so I really should go back to the gym.
