when you've been told, that just being able to turn 49 is an accomplishment by a loved one, is something foul about that?

On its own, there's nothing foul (or untrue) about that statement. Is there some missing context?

    It's a very low bar to set and that's what's foul about it. It means they don't require much more from you other than breathing air and drinking water.

    Just what I'd thought. Low expectations. The other only person to have responded must be over 40 or even 50. It's not 1916 that it's a accomplishment.

    I distanced myself from family that thinks like this. They are detrimental to your progress.

    That’s one of those family members dancing around singing about Ketanji Brown.

    HOWEVER……..

    There is one circumstance where this isn’t bad and that‘s if the OP is a knucklehead who was on a trajectory to the casket. Like for instance, some of those drill dudes in Chicago, them making it to 49 is a significant accomplishment.
