By age 40 every man should have reliable transportation. And a “rainy day” account that will keep him afloat for at least 3 months (but preferably 6). You never know!
1) A watch that means something to you 2) One go-to well tailored suit 3) A great pair of work boots 4) A toolbox 5) Packed overnight bag 6) A well used passport 7) A paper journal 8) A book collection 9) A pair of classic sunglasses 10) A tuxedo 11) A cast iron skillet 12) An expensive bottle of booze 13) Quality wine glasses 14) Go-to recipes 15) A dopp-kit 16) An actual camera 17) A pocket knife
Turning 40 next year, I've had/have all these items except the tuxedo and pro camera. Phones cameras have come a long way in the last year, so I'll stick to my phone. Otherwise will be updating everything else ...excellent list.
Jeff, I didn’t grow up with my pops around so I haven’t been exposed to a lot of this stuff. I really appreciate you taking the time for this content 🙏🏿
moeblisss12 I didn’t either bro. But most of these things on this list I have over the years you learn subconsciously, and most become essential on your journey.
Ward Cleaver toxic masculinity. Easy to pop off hiding behind that keyboard. Guys like you allow people to disrespect them in real life and won’t say a thing.
My daddy told me when you go to an event a gentleman should always carry a pocket knife for any utility task and a clean handkerchief for his lady in case she needs it. There have been many times when I have given my handkerchief to an emotionally touched lady at weddings, funerals and other ceremonies. I buy extras and sometimes tell them to keep it. Also every man needs a shoe care kit and needs to know how to condition and polish his shoes... thank you for the video.
I heard some folklore about some dude back in the day that no matter what he did that day, whether he just walked in the park, or worked on a muddy construction site. He always made time to clean, and shine his shoes at the end of the day for the next. I don't know how true this is, but I heard it somewhere.
My list that every man over 40 needs: 1. A well-read Bible. 2. A side hustle. 3. A gun (preferably concealed carry) 4. $1000.00 emergency cash. 5. A daily exercise routine.
A gym membership or a weight set at home. It is said men lose about 1% of muscle each year after the age of 40. We must do some kind a resistance training.
I would talk to a doctor about creatine, because the research on creatine is mixed. Creatine has not gone through the same FDA standard as medicine because it is a supplement.
There are so many studies that suggest that but at 46 I'm stronger, leaner and more muscular than I've ever been in my life. No steroids or crazy workouts either. Just 3-4 days a week at the gym. Funny thing is most of the guys I work with are Just like me. One of my coworkers is almost 60. He recently took a picture with ex NFL player Bart Scott if you didn't know you'd think he was the younger ex NFL player.
The 40's ship has sailed some years ago for me. I always say I am not getting old "I am becoming a classic." The part about the wine glasses "It makes you look you know what you're doing" was great! Thanks for the video.
Al Roker Because they work like this. You can get a million dollars loan in America when in Europe you would get half of it. If it’s for business and you do it right it’s free money and opportunities, if you mess up, start thinking the money is yours and that you can enjoy it, you’re done. Easy rules tho, don’t live out of it. But I can’t imagine playing in the same pond as guys that can bring a couple of millions on the table vs my no credit savings... and you need to spend money to live anyway, might as well put it to work for your credit.
"Life isn't always about dressing up. We're men. We gotta work sometimes." -Loove this quote. It's the reason The Style O.G. is my main go-to channel about what to wear. Too many RUclipsrs all about dressing up. I can't always be dressed up. People look at me funny at the mall. Dressing down, being functional, and still looking good? That's where it's at. Anyway great vid. Got 8 more years to get these.
Cast iron is worth it! You can pass that on when you pass and it goes from stove, to oven and outside camping. I have 2 pieces that a downsized couple couldn't lift anymore. It's saved me so much from having to replace cheap Teflon crap that flakes off!
I just went blind last year. It’s funny how you mentioned that a journal was something that we all needed by the age of 40. I really stressed over learning to read braille so I could write in my journal again. Ask for another thing all men should have by 40 I would definitely include a good knife set! You only cut yourself with doll in adequate knives! Thanks for the video!
I’m 26 and it makes me feel great that I have all of these 🙌🏽🖤I’ve been watching for the last few years. You’ve helped me so significantly that in a few weeks I’ll be marrying my wife.... no way I’d have gotten her without your tips. #Salute
@Thomas Sankara whoa bro.. Im not religious either but that just isn't cool. everybody has a right to their own beliefs and you aren't going to convince anybody of anything by talking to them like they're stupid. Be respectful and people will respect you.
Great video! How coincidental is it that I just turned 40 years young 2day. What a milestone! The only thing I would add for me personally, is a humidor box for your cigars...salute💪🏿💯
You need that passport to go to Nicaragua and Cuba for those cigar tours. I was 20 when I got my first humidor, now i have about 6 plus travel herfs and a cabinet. PSSITA fellow BOTL
Back then “a future” was what sold. These days, It’s hard to concentrate on the future because “the now” is what sells. And almost everything has a price on it, even things that we ought to be having for free. The economy’s taking the term “nothing in life is free” too literal these days
dig that it sounds and is very good info but yes most men around that age have 1 primary concern. FINANCES period all that other shit is when yo shit together. now realistically, how many men can say that COMFORTABLY Life is too demanding of our essence as men than the package it comes in. A true man is simply honest.
@@jfb2 Easy to accumulate these things over time vs feeling like "Oh shit im 40 so O gotta go out and buy all this stuff on the list today" the world wont end if you dont have it all today. The thrill is in trying to add on to what you have. Every list will be diffrent but I agree some are just essential for life no matter the age
Good stuff...especially the journal. Writing your thoughts, ideas, dreams and ambitions helps you to be more aware and intentional about life and allows you to see your progress. I've been keeping a journal since I was 19 (in 49 now) and it's amazing to see how my life has transformed and progressed.
You've nailed it again. Sadly I've grown out of my suit and I need to replace it. I would add, a good selection of ties, neckties and bow ties, and the ability to tie them.
Definitely taking some consideration of some of these tips. I just got my passport this year and will be travelling alot in 2020 with my lady. Thanks again OG. You always come thru with some great videos my brother.
One of the things I would add, Mr The Style OG, to go along with the toolbox is your own personal Get Up and Go Bag for emergency situations depending on where you live!!..
@@saucecastillo460 This bag is intended for situations that deal with disasters, it's for safety needs ie floods, earthquakes, things of that sort, they are designed for safety needs for you and another person if a disaster was to happen in your area they contain food, and such things in Lue of the Toolbox,A gentleman needs to be ready for all situations
By the age of 40, every man should know how to deal with his feelings. If you mad, what is the violation? If you are scared, what is the danger? And if your are sad, what is the loss?
This!!!! This is the most important thing needed. Many 40+ year old men are still out here acting childish. Poor communication skills, treating women inappropriately and not raising their children. I always say "the body follows the mind"
@Takezor1 No, I didn't think that. I would have mentioned where I learned it if you asked. I just didn't want to be presumptuous.... www.ayaed.com I have taken a course called Warriors Healers and Builders about 4 times now. The trainers live in Georgia and sometimes travel to my area in the DMV.
On point and not too difficult to achieve. The Writ of Passage toward Manhood. Crucial to introducing and setting a standard for sons and grandsons to emulate. Great video. Never take life for granted.
@@damainallan3669 Writing by pen and paper has a more creative way of expression and reaction than a text message. It is an art form that has no gentleman should not be without, good penmanship.
I appreciate your content. The purpose of your video clearly matches the title. You don’t just make videos to make them fit to some product you’re getting paid to promote. It’s a breath of fresh air.
You're not lying about buying a tux! I was a guest at a wedding this past summer and it was a black-tie situation. So, I went to Men's Wearhouse and bought a tux and everything else so I was laced from head to toe. My lady LOVED it and I caught many people checking me out all night lol! Folks mos def could tell I wasn't rocking a rental, due to the sleek fitted, tailored look after the alterations etc. Keep droppin' these gems on 'em OG!
When you mentioned the boots I was reminded of one of the many ways men say, "I love you" to each other. It goes, "Sure, bro. I'll help you move." Let's be real.
15 THINGS EVERY GUY SHOULD HAVE BY AGE 40 1. A WATCH which means something to them. 2. A go-to tailored SUIT. 3. A WORK BOOT. 4. A TOOLBOX. 5. A pack overnight bag. 6. A Passport 7. A paper journal 8. A book life 9. Two classy SUNGLASSES 10. A Tuxedo 11. A cast-iron pan 12. Expensive celebratory booze/ wine 🍷 13. A go-to recipe. 14. A dock kit. 15. A camera 📷 16. A pocket-knife 🔪
Right on my brother! I appreciate and thank you for your great taste and sharing all the things we all need to grow and develop with to better our selves and prepare for our much deserving Queens!
All attainable items too!! Working on that passport now. Was never able to pull the trigger on buying a pocketknife or Good camera but its time!! 47 years young bro. Solid video once again. Salute
Wow.. some of you guys have really got it together. Salute. Well I don’t have an investment portfolio, or multiple streams of income like some of the commenters here. Hell I don’t have most of the things the guy talks about in this video. I got a late start. Went back and got my Masters degree in my 30’s. Now I’m 41. I don’t have all of these things. So if you’re like me, don’t get discouraged. What I do have is determination. I may have missed the boat to have these things by the time I’m “40”... but that doesn’t mean I can’t work hard and have this and more by the time I’m 45. It’s never too late, so never give up. There is no cut off age. The only cut off age is death. Always keep progressing. Peace and blessings to everyone 🙏🏾
I'd add few things to this list. 1. Firearm with ability and knowledge of how and when to use it. 2. Interpersonal skills. You got the rest on point. Great vid!!!
I have most of these, especially the book collection. I have been collecting mostly classics. I still need a tux and I would add a quality chef knife to the list
Excellent video I agree with everything on the list except for one thing the booze I've been clean from drugs and alcohol for 12 years and and one of the reasons that I was able to subscribe to your Channel and to watch you it's because I'm clean and sober but other than that I agree with everything on the list thanks you've been an inspiration to me especially style-wise
For a personal addition, I think you need: 1. A laptop or desktop PC 2. A good mug or tumbler for everyday use 3. A leather wallet/belt/shoes 4. A musical instrument (guitar/keyboard/drums/etc) 5. A ride (bicycle/motorcycle/car) to get you around
I believe the author is basing his argument around material things which are interesting because when a man is in his 40s material things typically become of no value. Here are a few more plus shared thoughts: 1. Will 2. Trusts 3. Home 4. Stock portfolio 5. love the passport 6. Love the tuxedo 7. Love the suit 8. Debt reduced Thanks for being a provocateur of thought. Keep doing you brother.
When I bought my tailored suits I told them to leave a little extra room. :-D Even if you grow more than that the suit can be tailored to let some more out to accommodate your growth.
Dude!!! You are sooo on point!!! Most all of those things I have and have had long before 40. But I agree, certainly by 40 a man should have ALL (and on some items, several) of the things you mentioned.
These are facts! Usually these kind of videos have like one or two things you should have, but for real every single thing on this item a real man should have at least by the age of 40 if not before, especially the books and personal journal, the watch, glasses, well dang every single thing on this list! Thank you for posting this, your a scholar and a gentleman.
You laid it out so decently well like a true O.G. Only thing I was missing on that lineup is the ready-to-go overnight bag in the closet. Be a good time to get that LV bag I always wanted 😎
Montblanc make very underrated watches. That's a really great first choice. My first "serious" watch was the Tissot Le Locle Powermatic 80. I've bought some nicer watches since then but could never part with the Tissot. It has sentimental value and still makes for a nice dress piece.
This video has now made me a fan of the channel. As a person about to turn 40 next year, I can definitely appreciate some of the tips mentioned in this video. Thank you StyleOG for giving me hope that my 40's can and will be some of my best years.
With 40 in my rear view mirror and been fortunate enough to travel widely, i like the list but would add 1. Quality leather wallet a must and should be high on a style guy, 2. A pair of Quality leather shoes, your gonna let down any suit or tux with scruffy shoes 3. A good quality scarf, it's essential travel wear, maybe because I'm british, but it's a versatile, 4. Some decent compact binoculars (personal taste, but hiking and nature are free so make the most and great for travelling and exploring (maybe not for city slickers) 5. Hip flask, come in handy for so many occasions loaded with a single malt. 6. Crystal whisky tumbler, cheers
Add to the list, life insurance and or burial insurance. I'm 63 and all of my final plans have been prearranged including funeral arrangements and expenses.
Pretty good list. Hopefully most of these are a given by the time you turn 40. I think I have everything but the tux and a journal. While I'd agree with you, I just don't think a tux is a must have unless you're really going to that many black tie events, which is probably industry specific. A few tailored suits do the trick.
Salute to you Sir!! Great video!! I would’ve added a great flashlight and in that same vein a go bag in your vehicle... just in case of breakdown. #boyscout Thanks!!
Guitar, key board are part of my musical plan. Writing hopefully is next. I plan on adding a library too. I have a book list of close to 100 differing titles & differing topics as well as DVDs. ALL will set me up to be knowledgeable & wiser. The tuxedo is on my list as soon as I hit my weight goal. Of course, it will have tails
@@edema.3418 true i know people who had homes but found it financial better to go back to renting sometimes you have to live within your means a home ain't for everyone
Edem A. Buying a house is basically paying an expensive rent, it’s not for everybody, I think renting is a better option, which is why rent is now the price of mortgage, either way you slice it renting is a whole lot cheaper, and you’re still able to save up a better retirement, taxation on property makes ownership a myth.
The reason you buy a house is to stop having to pay that big lump sum every month. Sure you pay it now because you work but when you stop working you'll want to keep your money. Plus you can sell a house or rent it for profit. You can also borrow against it to start a business. All you can do with a rental is pay for it while you live under the sovereignty of the landlord. You can't even customize a rental.
Glad to see pocket knife and cast iron pan. Had those in my 20's. LBJ heard on White House recording, released in the last 5 years, telling someone how he wants his pants tailored for a pocket knife. The journalist make fun it, "like he was going to do some whittling." Glad you pointed out the why's to your list. Couldn't agree more! You rock! 👍🏻
Style O.G! That list is perfect! Only thing I would add is a Survival Kit. I bought a 2 person Stealth Angel Kit from Amazon. The pocket knife among other things is in the kit!
By age 40 every man should have reliable transportation. And a “rainy day” account that will keep him afloat for at least 3 months (but preferably 6). You never know!
Honestly should be the standard at an earlier age and even larger of a rainy day fund by 40.
More like by 15-18 IMO
Preferably 1yr
Lol hopefully every man has this WAY before 40 haha
Very true, especially these days.
1) A watch that means something to you
2) One go-to well tailored suit
3) A great pair of work boots
4) A toolbox
5) Packed overnight bag
6) A well used passport
7) A paper journal
8) A book collection
9) A pair of classic sunglasses
10) A tuxedo
11) A cast iron skillet
12) An expensive bottle of booze
13) Quality wine glasses
14) Go-to recipes
15) A dopp-kit
16) An actual camera
17) A pocket knife
Turning 40 next year, I've had/have all these items except the tuxedo and pro camera.
Phones cameras have come a long way in the last year, so I'll stick to my phone. Otherwise will be updating everything else ...excellent list.
I knew that was 17 I thought I was counting wrong
👍🏿💯💯💯💯
God with him not on your list
Thanks for the list!
A man who helps a friend move is a solid dude.
By age forty, every man should have an investment portfolio
I like it!
Most people have no ambition
ivydude13 exactly, fortunately I have here and abroad
This should be first on the list
Key and 1 on the list so you can pay for the 15
By age 40, every man should have multiple streams of income
This is an absolute FACT
Working on this now
Absolutely.
Faaaacts
Just got my 3rd stream started 4 months ago

By age 40, every man should have a will or testament.
how about a trust...
@@Rononeil82 Sure. A will can be used to create a testamentary trust. fairly inexpensive to create
So True. No will the state decides along with family arguments and probate court. It can get real ugly☹☹☹☹
Yes sir, most definitely!
Yeap
Every man should own a grill, preferably charcoal
Appreciate the input Milton !

Exactly...no propane 😂
Pellet grills are the order of the day. Cook a lady a wagyu ribeye on it and she will never forget you. 🥃
Hank Hill would disagree. Taste the meat, not the heat!
My list that every man over 40 needs:
1. A well-read Bible.
2. A side hustle.
3. A gun (preferably concealed carry)
4. $1000.00 emergency cash.
5. A daily exercise routine.
@Blessed Rivers & Streams Thank you my Sister!
**gun!! And a reliable pocket knife
Why would a man over 40 need gun more so than a man under 40?
A gym membership or a weight set at home. It is said men lose about 1% of muscle each year after the age of 40. We must do some kind a resistance training.
i like the suggestion!
A stationary bike, a kettlebell, and a resistance band: less than 200-250 bucks at Wally World. Push-ups, Sit-ups, Pull-ups, running: free.
RicksWayOfLife can we take creatine?
I would talk to a doctor about creatine, because the research on creatine is mixed. Creatine has not gone through the same FDA standard as medicine because it is a supplement.

A good credit. It can affect potential career decisions and investments.
True indeed Augustine!
Or even better, a zero credit score with everything in his possession actually being owned by him and not financed
D.E. SIGNS coming from Europe, this is a good idea, but in the USA working on your credit in a range you can afford seems a smart choice tho.
Al Roker Because they work like this. You can get a million dollars loan in America when in Europe you would get half of it. If it’s for business and you do it right it’s free money and opportunities, if you mess up, start thinking the money is yours and that you can enjoy it, you’re done. Easy rules tho, don’t live out of it. But I can’t imagine playing in the same pond as guys that can bring a couple of millions on the table vs my no credit savings... and you need to spend money to live anyway, might as well put it to work for your credit.
@Al Roker THANK YOU for the comment. I can answer that. Poor people focus on credit. The wealthy focus on money.
what about a house, pension investement, a nice car? Usually these are way more important to get before 40.
Those are great suggestions as well!
I have a old worn out leather wallet from my grandfather, from 1965. He smiles when he sees me flashing it, that old wolf haha.

Being 40 now is very different than being 40 twenty years ago. Most of them these days are just trying to keep the lights on.
Back then “a future” was what sold. These days, It’s hard to concentrate on the future because “the now” is what sells. And almost everything has a price on it, even things that we ought to be having for free. The economy’s taking the term “nothing in life is free” too literal these days

Ur "get up & go" bag sounds very similar to the hoe bag the talked about. What's the difference?
@@saucecastillo460
This bag is intended for situations that deal with disasters, it's for safety needs ie floods, earthquakes, things of that sort, they are designed for safety needs for you and another person if a disaster was to happen in your area they contain food, and such things in Lue of the Toolbox,A gentleman needs to be ready for all situations
@@dwaynesides187 ahhh....that makes sense
Great Jacket/Shirt/Pocket Square combo- lookin' good
Appreciate it Robert !
By the age of 40, every man should know how to deal with his feelings. If you mad, what is the violation? If you are scared, what is the danger? And if your are sad, what is the loss?
Anthony Beharry even a young men should know that im 23 and sometimes a spend time thinking to improv that
This!!!! This is the most important thing needed. Many 40+ year old men are still out here acting childish. Poor communication skills, treating women inappropriately and not raising their children. I always say "the body follows the mind"
@Takezor1 No. That is not where I learned that.
@Takezor1 No, I didn't think that. I would have mentioned where I learned it if you asked. I just didn't want to be presumptuous.... www.ayaed.com I have taken a course called Warriors Healers and Builders about 4 times now. The trainers live in Georgia and sometimes travel to my area in the DMV.
On point and not too difficult to achieve. The Writ of Passage toward Manhood. Crucial to introducing and setting a standard for sons and grandsons to emulate. Great video. Never take life for granted.
Salute Andre!
@@TheStyleOG Thank you Brother. Continue to school your audience.
A gentleman should always carry a good pen to keep to write a note or message.
I agree Larry!
The Style O.G. Why should we? We already got a cellphone
Fisher space pen, or a Cross.
@@damainallan3669 Writing by pen and paper has a more creative way of expression and reaction than a text message. It is an art form that has no gentleman should not be without, good penmanship.
I have two Mont Blanc pens. Timeless, and they last forever.
Talk ya talk young fella! Good looking on the must haves OG now I have something to teach my sons #Salute
Salute Ty!
Salute O.G! Top tips even for those a little past 40 👍
Salute Riz!
I appreciate your content. The purpose of your video clearly matches the title. You don’t just make videos to make them fit to some product you’re getting paid to promote. It’s a breath of fresh air.
You're not lying about buying a tux! I was a guest at a wedding this past summer and it was a black-tie situation. So, I went to Men's Wearhouse and bought a tux and everything else so I was laced from head to toe. My lady LOVED it and I caught many people checking me out all night lol! Folks mos def could tell I wasn't rocking a rental, due to the sleek fitted, tailored look after the alterations etc. Keep droppin' these gems on 'em OG!
will do my man!
When you mentioned the boots I was reminded of one of the many ways men say, "I love you" to each other. It goes, "Sure, bro. I'll help you move."
Let's be real.
True indeed Martin!

A quality wallet, not an old leather one that is falling apart! Oh and a great high quality LED flashlight.
Right on my brother! I appreciate and thank you for your great taste and sharing all the things we all need to grow and develop with to better our selves and prepare for our much deserving Queens!
All attainable items too!! Working on that passport now. Was never able to pull the trigger on buying a pocketknife or Good camera but its time!! 47 years young bro. Solid video once again. Salute
Salute Bobby!
You need a solid, impressive dinner recipe and a solid breakfast menu.
I like it Joel!
Gotta have the omelet recipe!

Ummm...every 40 y/o man needs a good urologist...
I feel you!
Amen!😁
Got one he caught my cancer early before it spread my Urologist is the 💣.
😂 😂
relax and push outward
Needed this vid brother definitely salute 💯✊🏿
Salute Nick !
Been working slowly on my look like money look right og been catching up on your vids
Nick Tha Magnificent ruclips.net/video/1npWuy5eFWQ/видео.html
Wow.. some of you guys have really got it together. Salute. Well I don’t have an investment portfolio, or multiple streams of income like some of the commenters here. Hell I don’t have most of the things the guy talks about in this video. I got a late start. Went back and got my Masters degree in my 30’s. Now I’m 41. I don’t have all of these things. So if you’re like me, don’t get discouraged. What I do have is determination. I may have missed the boat to have these things by the time I’m “40”... but that doesn’t mean I can’t work hard and have this and more by the time I’m 45. It’s never too late, so never give up. There is no cut off age. The only cut off age is death. Always keep progressing. Peace and blessings to everyone 🙏🏾
I'd add few things to this list.
1. Firearm with ability and knowledge of how and when to use it.
2. Interpersonal skills.
You got the rest on point.
Great vid!!!
I have most of these, especially the book collection. I have been collecting mostly classics. I still need a tux and I would add a quality chef knife to the list
Excellent video I agree with everything on the list except for one thing the booze I've been clean from drugs and alcohol for 12 years and and one of the reasons that I was able to subscribe to your Channel and to watch you it's because I'm clean and sober but other than that I agree with everything on the list thanks you've been an inspiration to me especially style-wise
Appreciate the feedback Ernest !
ernest harden ruclips.net/video/1npWuy5eFWQ/видео.html
I have a load of watches but last year my dad bought me a watch when my son was born and it’s my favorite watch
I like it Khamari!
The Style O.G. I need to find a place that can engrave his name with the date he was born so I can give it to him when he gets older
Thanks Jeff. At 45, I’m at about 10 for 15 on this list. I need to get busy! Salute.
Salute!
I was just telling my son that every real man has a tool box. Thanks for backing me up Jeff!

In addition to these I would throw life insurance and investment portfolio for (present and future legacy building)
At 33 I’m missing number three, I will have to get that fixed, thank you 🙏🏿
Is it a bad thing if you don't have number 2 by 33
3:43 that bag is a piece of art
I'll be 40 next year, so I'd like to add to the list is a nice collection of men's colognes.

I wish I could like this ten times. Turning 40 soon, love to see people on the same wave as me. Great tips OG 💯
Appreciate it!
@@TheStyleOG I'm 25. At the age of 40, where should men be going in a tailored suit? Serious question.
I really need a good weekender bag - salute OG
Salute Aaron!
I bought my husband a new leather weekender bag for a song on eBay.
Where did you buy the passport wallet and the brown leather weekend bag? Salute!
I have my bottle of Hennessy XO ready Salute OG!
Yes Sir!
For a personal addition, I think you need:
1. A laptop or desktop PC
2. A good mug or tumbler for everyday use
3. A leather wallet/belt/shoes
4. A musical instrument (guitar/keyboard/drums/etc)
5. A ride (bicycle/motorcycle/car) to get you around
I believe the author is basing his argument around material things which are interesting because when a man is in his 40s material things typically become of no value.
Here are a few more plus shared thoughts:
1. Will
2. Trusts
3. Home
4. Stock portfolio
5. love the passport
6. Love the tuxedo
7. Love the suit
8. Debt reduced
Thanks for being a provocateur of thought.
Keep doing you brother.
Weight fluctuates 😂 that made my day and we can all agree to that, salute!
such is life! lol
When I bought my tailored suits I told them to leave a little extra room. :-D Even if you grow more than that the suit can be tailored to let some more out to accommodate your growth.
My friends, one thing a man over 40 must do is to learn to dance decently. So you can give pleasure to the ladies...
Glauro O.Junior awesome addictive ❣️
Well, that's what I've been doing since 1995, no regrets at all...
I dance on ice every winter.
I can't tell you how many times this has "helped me out" with the ladies if you catch my drift.
Not finished watching this but i hope number one thing a man’s need by the age of 40 is good credit
🤣👍
Definitely agree. My good credit has let me borrow money to buy several real estate properties.
Dude!!! You are sooo on point!!! Most all of those things I have and have had long before 40. But I agree, certainly by 40 a man should have ALL (and on some items, several) of the things you mentioned.
These are facts! Usually these kind of videos have like one or two things you should have, but for real every single thing on this item a real man should have at least by the age of 40 if not before, especially the books and personal journal, the watch, glasses, well dang every single thing on this list! Thank you for posting this, your a scholar and a gentleman.
Salute!
The Bible is all I need. 👏
Jeff is “The Don”. Follow these 15 commandments you’ll have mad bread to break up!
I like it Rob !
OK Biggie.

Something else you'll need before 40...kids! Oddly enough, they prevent me from acquiring/using most of these things on your list.
haha!
Baha
ronniemas1 😊
So would your argument be to not have kids? It would be much easier to acquire these things, no?
💯💯
You laid it out so decently well like a true O.G. Only thing I was missing on that lineup is the ready-to-go overnight bag in the closet. Be a good time to get that LV bag I always wanted 😎
Montblanc make very underrated watches. That's a really great first choice.
My first "serious" watch was the Tissot Le Locle Powermatic 80. I've bought some nicer watches since then but could never part with the Tissot. It has sentimental value and still makes for a nice dress piece.
Nice list OG. I’m going to have to get started on that book collection. By the way that gray suit is 🔥
Appreciate it Russell!
By age of 40, every man should have good job, family and own a flat or a house.
@James St Patrick exactly! I don’t know what dude talking about
Dude, you are following the status quo like a fucking sheep!
By 40 a man should be worth at least 1M USD. All the rest is about personal choice.
An overnite bag? We call those booty bags 😂
This video has now made me a fan of the channel. As a person about to turn 40 next year, I can definitely appreciate some of the tips mentioned in this video. Thank you StyleOG for giving me hope that my 40's can and will be some of my best years.
You got it Calvin!
With 40 in my rear view mirror and been fortunate enough to travel widely, i like the list but would add 1. Quality leather wallet a must and should be high on a style guy, 2. A pair of Quality leather shoes, your gonna let down any suit or tux with scruffy shoes 3. A good quality scarf, it's essential travel wear, maybe because I'm british, but it's a versatile, 4. Some decent compact binoculars (personal taste, but hiking and nature are free so make the most and great for travelling and exploring (maybe not for city slickers) 5. Hip flask, come in handy for so many occasions loaded with a single malt. 6. Crystal whisky tumbler, cheers
Add to the list, life insurance and or burial insurance. I'm 63 and all of my final plans have been prearranged including funeral arrangements and expenses.
Salute and peace to everyone in the comments
You too brother Robert..much blessings to you and your family
Robert Dunne ruclips.net/video/1npWuy5eFWQ/видео.html
Appreciate this video I need to keep that overnight bag for sure Salute OG
Salute D!
Pretty good list. Hopefully most of these are a given by the time you turn 40. I think I have everything but the tux and a journal. While I'd agree with you, I just don't think a tux is a must have unless you're really going to that many black tie events, which is probably industry specific. A few tailored suits do the trick.
Men helping Men all the advice plus comments are gems. THANKS GENTS
Salute to you Sir!! Great video!! I would’ve added a great flashlight and in that same vein a go bag in your vehicle... just in case of breakdown. #boyscout
Thanks!!
No problem. great input!
Definitely have Jay-Z: Decoded. My wife bought it for me a couple years back.
Great book !
The shirt looks really good, love how it stands up so well looks dope
Thanks!
Love the video bro, always keeping it real. Just found your channel not too long ago but I’m impressed at these great tips
Thanks Chandler !
Guitar, key board are part of my musical plan. Writing hopefully is next. I plan on adding a library too. I have a book list of close to 100 differing titles & differing topics as well as DVDs. ALL will set me up to be knowledgeable & wiser. The tuxedo is on my list as soon as I hit my weight goal. Of course, it will have tails
I could tell you're a voracious reader, Jeff,.....believe me,. it shows. Killer outfit today, buddy. Salute.
Thanks my friend !
Anthony Johnson ruclips.net/video/1npWuy5eFWQ/видео.html
I can tell if a man is,a reader in minutes. It makes a difference.
I thought about my paps watching this video 💯 He got everything
Nice !
Every man should have a house by the time they're 40.
Not necessarily. Sometimes renting makes more sense.
@@edema.3418 true i know people who had homes but found it financial better to go back to renting sometimes you have to live within your means a home ain't for everyone
Or at least there own place to stay..no roomates
Edem A. Buying a house is basically paying an expensive rent, it’s not for everybody, I think renting is a better option, which is why rent is now the price of mortgage, either way you slice it renting is a whole lot cheaper, and you’re still able to save up a better retirement, taxation on property makes ownership a myth.
The reason you buy a house is to stop having to pay that big lump sum every month.
Sure you pay it now because you work but when you stop working you'll want to keep your money.
Plus you can sell a house or rent it for profit.
You can also borrow against it to start a business.
All you can do with a rental is pay for it while you live under the sovereignty of the landlord.
You can't even customize a rental.
Glad to see pocket knife and cast iron pan. Had those in my 20's.
LBJ heard on White House recording, released in the last 5 years, telling someone how he wants his pants tailored for a pocket knife. The journalist make fun it, "like he was going to do some whittling." Glad you pointed out the why's to your list. Couldn't agree more! You rock! 👍🏻
Style O.G! That list is perfect! Only thing I would add is a Survival Kit. I bought a 2 person Stealth Angel Kit from Amazon. The pocket knife among other things is in the kit!
