Health definitely rises as a priority in the middle ages.

I'm with you on that. Unfortunately, I didn't realize it in time. I'll just have to take care of my ~HealthAndFitness, so I'm still able to enjoy everything once the kid is off on her own.

I wasted too many years.... Anyway, no regrets 

That is the dream, eh. 

If only I were more mature and insightful in my twenties

Is Middle Age the Ideal Age? (FT, Janan Ganesh)

I found out that having kids beats all the freedoms you get do have without them.

I don't regret anything about having kids late, but I think having kids in your 20's might be better. By the time they're ready to leave the house you will then have this kind of freedom in your 40's or 50's.
