I just turned 40 and have a very, very vibrant social life and am out doing things just about daily after work. But I also don't have children, live alone, and I live in a big city surrounded by things to do. My friends with children at this point have them old enough to be hands off (not their taxi/babysitter) or they're raising newborns.

I absolutely don't go hard like my 20s and I'm usually home before 10pm but that's more so because my job is in the morning and I need my brain power to do it good well enough to keep it.

I have a lot of friends in their 25-50s that live in the same neighborhood as me or are within a 5-10 minute bike/walk/uber.

So there's definitely people outside of the stereotypical age range still socializing heavily. I see the same bicyclers riding together all the time here and they look in their 40-60s. I go roller skating and play hockey with some beer leagues and almost everyone is around 40.

With all of my free time and being trapped at home with cabin fever I've taken up a lot of my old kid hobbies like hockey and skating, playing guitar, etc.
