What changed in your 30's?

[dirtyduner]

I turn 30 tomorrow, and for some reason I am a little freaked out. I hear people say that their 30's felt like the best dayz of their lives. I don't believe that shit!
I am done having children, factory is closed.
Bought a house, gonna be here a while.
Am still terrible with money.

I think every thing just clicked. Finances got more stable and my relationship really settled into place. 30’s were great but I’m really loving where I’m at right now at 60

I have never had any problem turning any age (now 36) but 30 for some reason was really hard for me. I went through a lot of really bad shit though, should have probably died etc. With that said I am now happier than ever etc. More than anything as you get into your 30's you calm down and settle into all aspects of life....for me anyway.

 

[Rattle Can Lou]

30's were great years...lots of friends...camping, boating, racing cars..don't remember how I afforded it all..but most was done with my own labor. Learned how to make better money along the way. Was busy raising kids and figuring out my business..I'm sure there was struggles...but I gotta be honest..if you are worried about your 30th?? Man son, you will be scared shitless on your 60th.

I have never had a problem turning any age either. 30 is just kicking my ass. I have never cared how i looked but now every damn time i look in the mirror i see a few more grays and a few more wrinkles lol.

Ya man you will get over it with a little time. Like I said I am 36 but my beard is all gray on my chin lol. I made a decision to really start eating smarter and staying in good shape...I have a 3 year old and will not be the dad that can't hang.

 

[Waffles]

Health mostly. I'm more self conscious about my well being and getting whatever I need taken care of now than I have ever been. I don't need my 4 year old to be fatherless because I ended up dying from sleep apnea

I was the same way when I turned 30, went thru a little midlife crisis. Now 31, numbers don’t matter anymore lol. I will say, after turning 30 I can’t run as fast as I used to, it takes twice as much work to fight off the dad bod, and I can’t drink more than 2 without feeling like I got hit by a bus the next day lol.

 

[Ziggy]

It's a mental thing. What changed mostly is thinking about age in general. I think turning 40 was the worst for me, that one made me realized I was now truly on the downhill side. 50 didn't faze me mentally but health-wise that's when shit started to get worse. Having lost both parents by age 53 put me and my brother at the front of the family's exit line. My mortality is real.

 

[ka0tyk]

The early 30 wasnt a big deal for me. Didnt make gigantic changes in our lives, we upgraded just about everything. ie: no more furniture like ikea, we stepped up into real stuff. Its all the same, it just gets better.

But as I get closer to 40 its much different. We're both in jobs for 10+ years with stability. Which gives us some freedom to do things we'd normally struggle with earlier on.

With kids though, I'm starting to realize that time is flying by.

 

[Sleek-Jet]

What a bunch of pussies...

50 is going to be interesting, maybe.

 

[Constant840]

30 was ok.
Few years from 40 now and I can’t stop thinking my life is half over.

Dang....

Wait until you hit 40...lol

30 is still cool I was rolling and kid-less.

I felt great in my 30's everything on my body hurts in my 40's and Alcohol and Physical activity hang overs are 300x worse.

The worst part is when you go to a club and everyone there could be my kids...haha

 

[white tortilla]

Im 29 now, up till 27 i was still pretty much a mess, grad college at 25 and had a good but stressful jobwith no money or responsibilities. 28-29 everything fell into place now have a great career, house, stability. Im looking forward to 30 in October if this momentum keeps going.

 

[SOCALCRICKETT]

Meh, age is just a number. Im 33 and havent slowed a bit. I still run consecutive 12hr shifts and still find time to have the toys. I found myself doing more planning on financial front. I bought my house at 27 and just found out this year i have my first on the way. Life is what you make of it. I have found most of the things i worried about never happened anyway

At 30 I was single & didn’t think I would ever get married, I owned a home worked a lot. I got married When I was 33, we don’t have kids.

For me I think you kinda settle down and get more focused on the important things in life, I started making better life decisions lack of cash / money opportunity was an issue for me, working for someone else & making them money. I wanted more and looked towards the future instead of today / tomorrow. Where do you want to be in 10 years 20 years type of thing. Life experiences and priorities change as you get older.

I turn 51 in a couple weeks. I think back when I turned 30 I had a full head of hair, a mullet ( business in the Frt and party in the back) and the gas tank for the sex machine was a lot smaller...... LOL

If you’re NOT happy in life, NOW is the time to make the change for the better, plant some seeds!

Happy Birthday - now get back to work!

LoL

 

[Gramps]

I can't remember that long ago.

 

[Meaney77]

30's were a great time in life. At 30 I was going through a divorce which sucked but on the other hand I was doing what I wanted to do and not having to answer to anyone. I was out sewing my oats I guess... Going to the river and boating every other weekend, or desert camping and dirt bike riding- I did what I wanted and didn't have anyone or anything holding me back. A few years later I met my wife- we are coming up on 10 years of marriage next month- we have 3 awesome girls and life is good and I have no regrets of my past. For me that point in my life was good- I figured out me, who I was, what I wanted, etc...

I just turned 45 in May, now with having kids makes me realize life is to short and the thought of not being around for them scares me to death and keeps me up at night.

 

[dribble]

I got the job I had been trying to get for six years, I bought my first house (a new spec house in a two acre field). I learned how to build a barn, put up hundreds of feet of fencing, how to landscape, pour concrete etc. I built my dream house near folsom lake on horse property on the horse trails. I got my first boat (78 Southwnd jet). I raced my dirtbike a lot more because I could afford it. I became a grandfather at 32. I was promoted to supervisor and ran a field office. Your thirties are when the sun is shining brightly. And when that sun is shining is when you make your hay.

 

[RCDave]

Live in the present. Don't dwell to much about the past or the future.

 

[bocco]

30s were great but busy with kids and home life. 40s we started to get some freedom away from the kids to have fun together. In my 50s I still felt great. Bench pressed 315 lbs on my 50th birthday. Now my 60s on the other hand are turning in to a reality check.

 

[Uncle Dave]

I learned a lot about marriage and divorce doing both in my 30's.

I drew a line on how much nonsense I would put up with from a spouse, and exactly what my peace of mind was worth.

[Sangerdog]

Nothing changes. Its all good. Go run with it and enjoy the day.

 

[BHC Vic]

I’m 31. I’m going to make my thirties my prime. I’m off to a good start. Realistically I should be pretty stable before getting out of my thirties and that’s all I can hope for

 

[RichL]

Don't remember that long ago but I will say this, I've always viewed a birthday as just another day in the year.

 

[hallett21]

Im 28 and my hangovers already hurt. How can it get worse lol

 

[beaverretriever]

30s wasn't much different than my 20s in terms of finances, home ownership, life in general.

My 40s have been by far the best part of my life so far however. I have been the most fit, healthy, financially secure, never down or depressed, relationship with my family and wife is better than ever and I seem to get more handsome every day. "Seriously how do you get better looking every time I see you?" everyone says me.

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

More kids, more booze, more money.

[AZMIDLYF]

30s seemed to be more about getting the game plan more dialed in...married, house, kids, work, etc.. Still plenty of kid in the game, but just more responsibility focused. 60s this month and figuring out how much irresponsibility I can handle.

 

[CJ_Donahue]

My metabolism.

Seriously though, my thirties have been great. More financial stability, more time with my kids, amazing relationship with my wife & family. For me, I think I learned just to prioritize better.

Its all down hill after 23

30s have been good and bad. Making a lot of money, had a kid, got married, bought a house. Doing what I like to do. But lost my dad. So far I am loving it. I’m dreading the 40’s btw I’m only 33

 

[Deja_Vu]

I bought my first new home in my 30’s. My wife gave birth to 2 more daughters. I started getting serious about saving for retirement. I quit buying new cars and started buying toys

 

[Bpracing1127]

Oh yea, like Deja vu said. I’m maxing out my retirement right now.

One thing I want to do is buy another rental property

If I stay up past 1am and have a couple glasses of wine or a few beers my next day is ruined....lol

I think it's more a sleep thing that booze. I can drink beers all day and if I go to bed at 10pm I'm golden the next day.

I stopped doing shots about 5 years ago....smartest thing I ever did
