For those of you that are under 30: What do you think your life will be after you turn 30? How do you see people that are over 30?

For those of you that are over 30: How's your current life compared to when you're younger?

Unlike a number of people, I don't see 30 as "old" and I find that to be an unhealthy mentality. It's a nice milestone for sure, but there are still decades more adult life ahead. It's up to me on how to interpret being in my 30's. It's just there.

Once I'm 30, I expect to have grown into a better person. I'll still be awesome and happy, but even more so. I'll have grown physically and intellectually and improved at my creative pursuits.

That's stuff to look forward to, not dread

I already turned 34 this year. I joined the military age 24 and I swear I haven’t been able to live life the way I want to ever since. Now? It always some responsibility for this or for that and I was meant to get married this year and fiancée turned 30 this year so you know she wants kids ASAP. And I feel like I owe it to her because I’ve been in her life since she was 21. Sigh...



I’m all for duty and responsibility but what’s the point when you don’t get the proper recognition for it and instead everyone just expects you to constantly do more more and more? Yet if I was living on my own and in a fulfilling career I could do whatever the fuck I like.

Life is unfair.

Over 30 here. I would say it got a bit worse compared to my 20s, mostly me being still alone.
Otherwise not much changed. Still do same work, still have similar responsibilities. Still enjoy playing games, books and anime, although the enjoyment starts to fade a bit.

I have seen no change from my friends who turned 30. I am not far behind, but I sometimes feel far behind friends of mine who got family, house and all. I have some goals I want to reach before I turn 30, though.

I can relate to your fiancee for wanting kids not too late, but if you only accept to please her, that won't make you happy? I don't think it'd be good for anyone (And even more for the kid) if one of the parents didn't actually want to have them at this moment.

Isn't there any way you can get a more suitable life for yourself before? You fiancee may understand that.

My dad just turned 83. I’m his first child. So you see why I am in no rush. That said, people who have kids always say that there is no perfect time to have kids. All I know is that I am supposed to have kids and would like to have them to continue my bloodline and do what God asked us to do. To procreate.

All I can say is that... gaming became irrelevant for me after the mid-30s and now feels like a chore and a complete waste of time (doesn't matter which games it is).

Reding, making art became more interesting for me (after yearly 30s).

Also, Live-Action media, pop-music became irrelevant after my early 20s, and I can't even stand watching any movies or listen to any pop music after that.

Also, I've become more annoyed with people who are talking too much (or loud people in general) IRL (that happened after my 30s).

Women become lame after 30.

Their body and thus also their intellect detoriorates rapidly after their initial youth spike.

For men it depends on their substance abuse and how well they take care of their health.

Maybe from the point of view of teenagers. But teenagers are overall idiots anyways. And over 30s that try to act hip just end up coming off even more cringe and lame then they would if they acted their age. So I guess there is no winning.

Exactly the same way I've been the last 17 years since finding anime. Not a damn thing has changed. Except jobs. I think my life has been great and I don't regret it.

As for lame? No, more like the younger people are lame. Thinking they own the damn place and won't basically shut up. But that's just my opinion.

two things

-There's nothing sadder than trying to act "down with the kids" after 30. You should realize you're in the adult world by 20 at latest.

-this question implies kids are cool, which isn't really true anymore. Today's youth "counterculture" is a pathetic consumerist LARP of past decades' counterculture. Kids don't even know how to watch a movie or hear an album if they can't find it on netflix or spotify, and I'm supposed to think they're more cool and 'in touch' than adults? just fucking lol

I can easily say that my best years have been since I turned 30.

I saved enough money to do BIG things, high school and college are a distant memory, and career wise, I've finally made it to a place where my earning potential is starting to get pretty good.

I hear you. I can openly admit I was pretty lame at 22. I wasn't too attractive in my opinion. I feel like once I turned 25/26, I started getting more attractive and adopting new styles to go with my look. I think some people are simply late bloomers. I'm happy my peak wasn't 18.

I'm excited to hit my 30's! I think there's a lot I can get done between now and then, and hopefully by the time I'm 30 I'll be able to appreciate the fruit of my efforts. My parents always said that their 30's were their best years. I'm tempted to believe it. 30 is still so young, but at the same time a super mindful and adult decade.

But I had to to work on getting better. Sadly conditions are perminent. I am married, I have a dog. And I am fairly happy.
