Try twice that age, genius.
Very mature speech from your side. You think you've figured it all out, but you don't know even the basics in this case, which makes you sound like a stubborn pensioneer who just doesn't want to acknowledge that some things have changed.
You're still young. Enjoy it while you can, time goes fast.
Heck, I wish I was eligible for a pension, I'd love the extra pocket money. I'm 51 and semi-retired. I work 3 days a week, mainly to stave off boredom.
Being stubborn and being dumb are two entirely different things... don't confuse them. Life experience teaches you many things. Making mistakes (and being able to admit them) can be good thing. However, it's best to observe and learn from other peoples mistakes... much less costly; emotionally and financially.
I think you had too much caffeine today. You're obviously hyped up and very emotional. Take a deep breath and try to calm down. Jerk off more often... the serotonin release has a calming effect.
