>> Whoopi: WELCOME BACK. "THE WALL STREET JOURNAL" SUGGEST THAT IS YOUNGER GENERATIONS ARE PUSHING BACK ON THE AGE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE FOR MARRIAGE AND OTHER MILESTONES LIKE PROMOTIONS. WHAT DO YOU THINK? >> Joy: WHAT? >> Sunny: I THINK YOU HAVE TO EARN A PROMOTION. I THINK YOU NEED EXPERIENCE AND SO THERE IS THAT PART OF YOUR HUMAN JOURNEY, YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T WANT TO TAKE
ON SOMETHING YOU DON'T DESERVE OR ARE NOT PREPARED FOR. I KIND OF THINK THAT'S PART OF THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE, RIGHT? YOU LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES AND KEEP ON GOING. SOMETIMES YOU FALL IN LOVE. SOMETIMES YOU GET A DIVORCE. SOMETIMES YOU SWITCH KWACAREERS. >> Joy: I'M A LATE BLOOMER. I STARTED MY CAREER IN COMEDY WHEN I WAS 40. >> Sara: I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S A LATE
BLOOMER. I THINK TIMELINES ARE ARBITRARY. PEOPLE'S LIVES LOOK SO DIFFERENT, THEIR OPPORTUNITIES, THEIR RESOURCES AND THE JOURNEY OF WHAT YOU'RE WILLING TO REACH FOR YOURSELF WHEN YOU'RE READY TO FIND LOVE OR BE OPEN TO IT. THERE'S A SAYING COMPARISON IS THE KILLER OF JOY. WHEN PEOPLE HAVE THESE STATS OF THE THINGS YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO BY 40 OR 50, IT TEES EVERYONE UP TO BE DISSATISFIED.
WHEN I GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE, I COULD HEAR ABOUT PEOPLE BACK HOME FROM MY MOM. I DIDN'T SEE IT -- >> Sunny: WERE YOU LATE IN LOVE? >> Sara: WHEN I SAY I GOT MARRIED AT 37 AND THAT'S LATE, PEOPLE SAY THAT'S NOT LATE. >> Joy: THEY SAY THAT BECAUSE YEARS AGO PEOPLE WOULD DIE AT 40. NOW THEY GET DIVORCED AT 40. >> Alyssa: THIS ARTICLE CLAIMED
THAT PEOPLE THINK THE IDEAL AGE TO GET MARRIED IS 26. TO ME THAT'S TOO YOUNG. >> Joy: WAY TOO YOUNG. >> Alyssa: THERE'S THE STUDY THAT FOUND PEOPLE AT 40 FEEL YOUNGER THAN THEY ARE. I'M FROZEN IN MY MIND AT 28. YOU'RE SORT OF AN ADULT, BUT YOU'RE STILL YOUNG. >> Joy: I MEAN, YOU HAVE TO MOVE ALONG. LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING. WHEN MOZART WAS
35, HE WAS DEAD FIVE YEARS. IF YOU'RE COMPARING YOURSELF TO THAT -- >> Sara: HE WROTE HIS FIRST SYMPHONY WHEN HE WAS 7. >> Joy: ON THE OTHER HAND, WHEN YOU'RE 60 YOU'RE VERY YOUNG. >> Alyssa: THERE ARE SEASONS OF LIFE. I FEEL PRESSURE THAT I'M BEHIND IN SOME PERSONAL STUFF. LIKE I HAVEN'T HAD KIDS YET. I FOCUSSED ON CAREER EARLIER IN LIFE. I LOOK AT
FRIENDS WITH KIDS AND I'M LIKE WHY DON'T I HAVE KIDS YET? THEY LOOK AT MY CAREER AND THEY'RE LIKE THAT'S SO COOL. >> Sunny: I HAD MY FIRST CHILD AND 34 AND I WAS LIKE -- I WAS FOCUSING ON MY CAREER. >> Sara: I HAD A KID WHEN I WAS 41. MY EGGS WERE DUST
