Things you should have done by 40
Discussion
At the risk of pathetic comments from the likes of Dand E Lion I will keep the things I have done to myself, but I can confirm I fall short on your list having only visited 2 continents, never tried drugs, never had a threesome, found love but lost it again and have been to many concerts but not a music festival unless battle proms counts.

Unless you don't want to have kids and are sure of it, started the family. Babies are bloody tiring, and I'd hate to be starting the whole process in my forties!
Also purchased the largest house you aim to own. You don't want to be going into your forties needing to increase you're mortgage furter, with 25 working years left it's time to start the long slow slog of paying the money back not leveraging ever upwards.
Sorted out your pension strategy, again with a view to the fact that you have 25 years left to accumulate enough of a pot to at least avoid total poverty in old age.
Sorry not to list 3 somes, drugs, bum sex or anything like that. But I thought there'd be plenty of responses like that.

Collecting experiences is just the same as collecting possessions, it's the same, except experience bores are generally more boring because they've nothing to show for it except boring photos and self congratulatory stories...Visit 3 continents

Only bit of advice I'd give is if you want to run a marathon, get martial arts black belts, climb big mountains etc... best done before you're 40 or not - it's up to you and your body.
