A forty-year-old man should still live at home, collect welfare and weigh 300 pounds.

The title says "on hand," if you wife has it, and you live together, you are covered. If you live alone, these are things that will make you ready to be presentable.

You know, OP has some good points. A man by the time he is 40 needs certain things to be at a comfortable and presentable level.

There is never a question of finance.Inheritance, ebay, thrift stores,garage sales, etc can and should provide most things on the list, and if you are dealing with another gentleman, who may be retiring or relocating, you know the product has been well taken care of.

Being a gentleman means presenting yourself well in public and in private. Aside from learned manners, a gumption to help fellow travelers in life, a desire to better himself through experience and self actualization-utilizing physical and cerebral exercises,the proper physical tools listed above should act as a catalyst for proper and astute presentation by a gentleman.

You mean I shouldn't be living in my parent's house, still? I shouldn't drive old used vehicles? I shouldn't have a DWI and a bunch of protective order violation charges and convictions? I shouldn't have tattoos on my face, a drug problem, an accountability problem? I shouldn't be bankrupted and using public defenders? LOL!

I don't know who you are talking about, but a gentleman has the mental and physical tools to be comfortably prepared for what life throws at you.

I am reminded of when Donald Trump took Don Jr. To a Yankee game. Don put on every golf shirt he had, and they all were too tight, so he wore a suit to the game, and forced Jr. to wear a suit to the game as well.

Showing up to a baseball game in a suit and tie is ridiculous and unrefined.

That being said, I am sue Trump has a full set of dinner plates made in England or France, silk pajamas, a high end watch, and nice red and white wine glasses. Does this guy you speak of have a set of European dinnerware, nice sets of wine glasses, a couple of well tailored suits, and at least one Swiss watch?

"What ever man should have by the time he reaches 40 years old"

Personally, I'm 47, but every 17 or 18 year old should have a basic grasp of the English language. I'll respond to the "what ever" portion of the title. A lot of 40 year olds around Fairfax seem to have the "what ever" part correct. They have a bunch of shit and a McMansion. Most of the material shit the OP is saying men "must have" will be tossed in a dumpster by their children or grandchildren.

I am almost 40 and have every thing I need. An apartment, a disability check, and easy access to an IHOP.

Everyman should have the complete collection of Meade Skelton music by the time they are 40. Actually it should be required listening to graduate from High School.

Meade is a forty-something part-time fast food worker who cannot even finish a two year college degree.

If Meade's music useless for Meade, why would it be useful for anyone else?
