I turn 30 next week...

[cbrunny]

I turn 30 this coming fall. So much left to do before then!

 

[Exterous]

My life is pretty much over right?

I turn 30 this May, it feels weird,

The feels. I turn 30 in 4 months. I can't handle it.

Your life is basically over so you may want to consider ending it on your own terms. For this valuable life insight I only ask that you will your stuff to me.

30s have been good to me so far but I can start to see some of those aches and pains coming on. Drinking on Sunday and working on Monday now involves a risk\reward consideration instead of the 'No Big Deal' it once was

 

[cbrunny]

Drinking on a Sunday? Who has time for that? I barely have time for a beer or two on a Friday or Saturday night. Most weekends, I don't touch booze at all, and extremely rarely during the week.

I turn 36 soon and already stopped caring about the age thing. Not sure if that's a good thing.

That's because you are around 30. Life is busy, you are trying to establish yourself. Once you hit your 40's you will have time for a beer or two on Friday again.

I barely remember my 30's. I was working 60+ hours a week, skipping vacations, starting a family, etc. My 40's have been a much more enjoyable decade to this point.

Thats not always true. Im not far past 30 and I have time to drink. Granted I don't have kids and already moved out of long hour jobs. I did my 80-100 hour weeks in and just out of college. Now I am almost always done at 4pm, work pretty much only 40 hour weeks and get overtime on the rare occasions I need to work more

Probably no hope at all for you then. Can I have your stuff?

When I hit 30 (20 years ago) it sucked. I got married, had a breakdown, had surgery, got fired........When I hot 40 I was much happier, got divorced, got custody of my son, fell in love with my EXes best friend (we are still together) and got a great job. I wonder what 50 will bring in a few months......

Nice. Bagged em both.

 

[slightlyhuman]

yeah it sucks. turned 30 last year in april. up until the last 5 or so years i felt like i had forever.

just not enough time to do everything, make the best of it.

 

[Exterous]

Are you hiring?

Not at the moment. I applied off and on for several years before getting an interview. They almost always hire from within first - even if they post the job (Something about the colleges we worth for\with liking to see you post every job even if you're just going to give it to someone internal). Amazing if you work here - terrible if you want to work here

33 here. Yeah, I'm older, fatter, don't bounce back from hangovers as fast... but I was never into the clubbing scene ayway. It's been a pretty awesome three years so far, mostly because I have old-guy money and spare time to do hobbies and shit.

 

[Subyman]

I turn 30 soon and am completely ready for it. 20's were fun, but I feel like I'm ready to move on. 30's and 40's is where you make $$$$$$

 

[JulesMaximus]

30? Boo fucking hoo!!!

I turn 50 next year... :'(

 

[BurnItDwn]

35 here, just went downslope skiing for the first time last weekend. yea my beard is all grey and stuff, but meh, I feel more or less about the same as I did in my 20s.

Yea, I stuck with the beginner and bunny hills, but it was great. Sore now, but i would have been soar if I went in my 20s too.

Some of my best years have been my 30s and 40s. Have travel to fabulous places, met my future wife, lived a great life.

30 blah I'm turning 50 in 6 months and loving it.

 

[Denly]

30? Wait till you turn 40, you body will fall off the cliff. Keep partying while you can.

To be fair, I first drew the graph when I was 18.

Reading this sort of made me feel like an exception. I mean, yeah, I'm 33 and not getting any younger; however, I'm fitter and more attractive than I've ever been. I'm finishing my first year of law school. I have some amazing stories behind me, but have even more interesting stuff ahead of me. Not just in my own view, I'm more desirable physically, emotionally, and professionally. I feel like I'm still on an upward trajectory.

My point? Don't accept it, reject it, tell it to go fvck itself, and make yourself even better than you were.

 

[clamum]

I turned 33 in January. I feel pretty good and am in a better place than I have been for the past 6 years but I'm still single and lonely. Oh well, fuck it.

Well, look one post above you. He sounds like a dream.

I'm 38 and in a similar position. I just ran 12 miles on Saturday, have a half marathon to do outside of Vegas in March and have more (and better) sex now than I did when I was 25.

I've also got an incredibly more rich social life now than I have at any other point in my life. And that's all happened in the last 2 years.
