30 is that age everyone thinks is old until they hit 40 and wish they were still 30. No one ever feels that way about their 20's.

if you really honestly truly care about turning 30 then your doing it wrong. nobody gives a poo poo 16, 18, 21, sure, these actually open up new opportunities for normal people next big number is 62.5 or 63 or whatever for social security

I've been 30 for a year i's been OK I'm on the verge of paying off all the stupid financial decision's I made in my early 20's just in time so I can make all new stupid financial decision's in my thirtie's. I did go bald but it's cool as I look pretty good bald and bearded and at this age no one gives a poo poo if you go to bed at 9:30pm.

Jesus people. stop eating like poo poo and exercise and being 30 is like being 20 except you should have a real job and money to do stuff. The women your age are just hitting thier sexual peak and the ones that rushed into lovely marrages in thier 20s are getting divorced and dating again. I mean my god i plan to be a beast of a manly man out enjoying life well into my 60s just like my dad and granddad, so you know, take care of your loving body and maintain a group of friends that you do poo poo with.

I turned 31 last month. I can't drink more than two double rum and cokes without getting a hangover. I have aches and pains which tell me that parts of my body are wearing out. I have a spare tire that could go on a dump truck. I am happy though. I didn't have a memorable childhood, really. Nothing exciting happened there. My 20's were more about getting me out of my shell and growing out of being a little bitch baby, emotionally and mentally. I wouldn't go back. The 30's are great so far! However, the monotony of the weekly grind can cheat you. If you start to feel like the weekdays are just write-offs and aren't valuable, you begin to wish away the work week in favour of the weekend/days off. You feel like you can only 'live' on the weekends. Imagine the depression you'll feel when you don't do anything special on the weekend either? Time slips away quickly this way and it's loving dangerous. Do something you enjoy every day, and also experiment to give yourself some exceptional memories. Think of it this way; assuming you have 2 days off per week, you have about 20 full weeks worth of days off (not including vacations), before you turn 40. That's 20 weeks worth of 'living' time. You will burn through that poo poo fast, especially if you squander it. Think about how fast a week's vacation flies by, and what you have to show for it at the end. Do you want to do that only 20 times before you're 40? No. Keep doing awesome stuff every day, because you know that 40 means death. You have time, you've only lived about a third of your life - just don't fool yourself about how much time you really have. Hope this helps!

I'm too lazy to go quote it but owning a house in the year of luigi 2014 isn't all it's cracked up to be anymore. You do it so you do all the dumb poo poo you want that you can't do in an apartment without losing your deposit, but you loving pay for it. I've made more trips to lowes in the last 6 months than I had in all the 31 years before in my life. I'm in better shape at 32 than I was at 22 so being this age isn't bad so far. My sex drive kinda dropped though, I sorta miss it and I sorta don't... well I don't think this is entirely accurate I think I've gotten picky. I've gotten far pickier about who I hang out with too as I'm not a gently caress up but it seems 90% of the people I know are. I don't have the hangover problems the rest of you have so yay  If you're not 30 yet and reading this you better start working out loving now. You hit 30 and blowing off that poo poo is going to start creeping up on you.

I am 30, I really like my job in IT and get to learn/do awesome poo poo with computers because of it every day, I have a head full of hair, no gut, and still have sexual access to women in their early 20s through mid 40's, but I know that by far the most satisfying ones are in their mid 30's because they're definitely the most experimental and kinky, which means I won't give a poo poo when the early 20's ones stop looking. My friends are all smart enough to have lived at least into their 30's and 40's, and they all have their own money so vacationing with them kicks loving rear end. If you work on yourself to always improve instead of being a whining defeatist who self-identifies as being old, you'll continue having fun and living a life you'll be proud to talk about at parties for a very long time.

Safetyland posted:I turned 31 last month. That is a nice sentiment but a lot of times after turning 30, the weekends have to be spent doing work around the house (lawn care, fixing stuff, painting, etc.). I have two kids on the way (one we are adopting and one from my wife being pregnant) and I can't even wrap my head around how people have any free time at all. If you get home from work at around 6 PM, and your kid has a soccer game or something, the night is pretty much over (dinner then soccer then homework then prepare for the next day and holy poo poo it's 10 PM and I gotta be up at 6 AM). I dunno how people do it without massive sleep deprivation but I guess I'll find out.  Turning 30 is a great motivator sometimes (finish a degree you were working on part time, get in shape, learn an instrument; whatever). Really the only downside to it is being completely immobilized for 2 days when you go out drinking whereas in your 20s you can drink, stay up until 4 AM, then go to work like nothing happened. It's kind of incredible how it really does seem to change at exactly 30. If I go to a wedding on a Friday night I'm shot until Sunday.

I've made more trips to lowes in the last 6 months than I had in all the 31 years before in my life. Owning a house can be a pain in the rear end but not being able to sleep because a neighbor is playing music or because they are walking around with boots on outweighs the downsides in my opinion. Also there's some parts of the country where it's barely more per month to live in a home than to rent. Like only a couple hundred dollar difference sometimes. edit: also, if you are a new homeowner, the beginning part is the worst because you're constantly remodeling poo poo until you are happy. After it's all done the way you like the constant Lowe's trips and money spending calms down a lot. Chumbawumba4ever97 fucked around with this message at 00:51 on Jun 14, 2014 |

I work weekends because I work for myself and, when it's all said and done, I'm a money-grubbing whore. But if I wasn't making a bunch of money that directly correlated with how much I worked, there's no way in hell I'd do it. I used to work for companies and I absolutely made sure to be there as little as possible. Especially on salary. Hey, you guys made the mistake of paying me a flat rate with no possibility of sharing in the profits, now enjoy my flat loving level of enthusiasm about your company's success. PS: 31 checking in. Which I guess means I've been raised by goons since I was 21. No wonder I'm so well adjusted! KierkegaardsHo fucked around with this message at 19:10 on Jun 13, 2014 |

Journalists make high school dropout-level money unless it's a job with CNN or the New York Times. I also teach a journalism class at a state college and work as a barista. All of those combined give me the income I'm comfortable with, but I'll probably burn out or burn down the coffee shop soon so...

Wait till you mother fuckers are in your forties. I'm seen so much porn that's hard to find anything these days to get a stiffy. Anything is old hat at this point. But in your 40's a stiffy is like a long lost friend you only see once in awhile. As for home ownership, it can be a pain in the rear end monetary-wise, but I don't mind the labor. I see it as a hobby. Another fun thing about getting older.... If your high school graduating class has a website and keeps a memorial list of those who passed away you can start looking towards the ever increasing numbers of dead classmates - cancer, AIDS, ATV accidents, suicide, drug overdoses, too fat to live, etc.
