HelpYears of your life Game- Part 4(31-40 years)
This part is very important since you are now going into middle age. You get to watch your kids(if you have any)grow up. But, that being all you're doing is as fun as watching paint dry, so let's mix it up a bit! The Life events(some of them)may be different from what you would expect.

Notice how in the beginning, it's usually tragedy after tragedy after tragedy, with a few good events to fill up the gaps. In the next 4 years, it's the same way, but the tragedies stop at the end. Plus, the last 4 years is focused more on friends and family then you, but it has something to do with you. I should do this more often!
