How is it like being in the 30s in age?

Question

I am 29 and soon will be 30, ech! Does it get better each decade of life? I know I am getting more respect as I get older which is nice.

What are the goods and bads of the thirties?

Answer 1

believe me its better!
I am 32.... I remember well how I felt turning 29 to 30, seems like yesterday in many respects.. yet I seriously understand myself better now. I am wayyy more optimistic and stronger too...... I used to take a lot of crap in my 20's and not even know it! looking back im like wow! it can only get better when knowledge is power.
also these days with all the excellent beauty products and anti aging info (not that were old) but heck everyone thinks im in my early 20's so........ :) now is the time to think "prevention" when it comes to looks. so u can strategically plan to look the same at 40 as you do at 30...:)
it IS possible and I mean without surgery!
sunscreen, water, exercise, sleep, healthy foods etc etc
I just started eating fruit when I never did before, and I do look better.

Answer 2

Good: You tend to calm down more about things you can't control (usually)

Bad: If you hadn't finished college, you might be regretting that now

Good: You'll look back at being a teen and not really miss it anymore

Bad: You have a harder time staying in shape and wearing the clothes you'd like to fit into

Good: You know how to do more things and survive on your own

Bad: You might have waited until now to start having children but by the time you hit 35 they tell you you're high risk

Good: You might be able to buy your first home, finally

Bad: You wake up with aches and pains you never had before, especially if your mattress isn't the greatest and you can't afford a new one

Those are just a few...I'm 37

Answer 3

I feel no different from when I turned 30. I'll be 31 next week but see it as just another day. I think it's a question of personal attitude, I know my friend wasn't too bothered when she turned 30 but when she recently turned 31 she said she was more upset and felt 'old'. When I turn 50 or 60 I may feel old but right now I still got some party left in me :) Be happy!

Answer 4

the goods are that you really getting know the life and the life itself is getting sweeter and more romantic for the person in her or his 30s. And you know the woman gets more charm in her 30s really.

But the bads are that like me people in their 30s are less wanted by the majority teens and 20s on here, they just simply reject to speak or have any relations with anyone over 23 or so.While I really feel myself not more than 19, and what a pity it is that i'm an oldster for others, in fact i'm 31.

oh, I'm really happy to find so many 30s here, when I needed them they weren't anywhere.

Answer 5

I am 39, going to be 40 in July, the thirties are the best so far. Earning more, better life style. I am happier now that I am my age. Except for the few extra pounds, the 30th have been great.!

Answer 6

I'm in my early thirties and I don't like it when guys at the grocery store say mam do you need help with your bags! Hug.... I can't stand it but also I didn't know that mostly everyone I know that were married 10 years ago are divorcing (so I guess that's more house trained in the pool of eligible men )

Answer 7

I was real unhappy about turning 30. I am 32 now and it has just gotten better! Age is simply the number of years you have been alive...Life, however, is what you make it!

Answer 8

It's not so bad after all! I always dreaded turning 30 but, I've realized. I'm still me and 30 can't change who I am inside...a 12 year old at heart! ^_^ Happy B'day (in advance)!

Answer 9

It sucks getting older. Just look at Kenny and don't do what he did. Better to age gracefully (or get a better surgeon)

Answer 10
