The main reason why I predict I will quit drinking entirely before the end of my 30s. I

It is still reasonably possible to get started with a 401k at age 30, but don't wait any
longer and try to increase your contribution as much as you can. I get a "merit
increase" every year that usually ranges from 2-4%. I automatically increase mine
401k by 1% when that comes out.
[–] Jay18001 3 points 1 hour ago
Ideally you should start one in your 20s but if you didn’t, you should start one
now.
[–] AlreadyShrugging 1 point 1 hour ago
Agreed, but it isn't solely "advice for your 20s". I am 32 now with a decent
401k, but I am drowning in debt. I may also be switching jobs next year. I
am seriously considering using it to eliminate ALL my debt because the
interest on it is too high. I would then immediately use all the money I
spend each month (about $700) servicing debt to build it back up. It's not
something I would do at 40 or even 35, but I still have just enough time to
pull that off.
Some companies you work for might already be doing that for you. I know mine does.

Generally speaking you'll have more disposable income. You're still young enough to
have your looks and your health but you actually start to learn shit about the world.
You start to learn about yourself. If you're a woman, your libido will likely shoot sky
high. If you're attached to a woman, her libido will likely shoot sky high.

I wish I had more disposable income. I actually earn way more now but have
way less. A wife and kids will do that to you. Overall I am happier, though. I

I learned this about my mom at a very young age. She had a lot of problems and was
terrible at hiding it. In the last ten years or so she has turned things around and is doing
really good things with her life. As close to a saint as you can get in my eyes.
It took me until 18-20 to really learn this about my dad. He is very successful in a
professional job, and searing loves all of his children. Yet, he has a pretty scumbag
mentality about other people, things he doesn’t like, and things he doesn’t understand.
Still love him to death though.
I was in my late teens / early 20's when I finally realized my dad has a huge
inferiority complex caused by being 5"4', which is why he always puts everyone
down constantly and thinks anyone equally or more successful than him is an
Asshole who had it easy.
I then had the difficult task of having to consciously stop myself from acting the
same way, because up to then I just thought it was normal to do that.
[–] goldybear [score hidden] 11 minutes ago
Exactly! I used to be as closed minded and bigoted as he is when I was growing,

but I had to force myself to change my mindset. It can be hard breaking out of
mindsets that have been ingrained in your for years.
YES! I am 32 now and in my very late 20s, some life events caused my youthful concept
of my parents (all-knowing with their shit always together) to be completely shattered. I
now see them as generally successful people that are fallible just like anyone else.

I'm 26 and I'm experiencing the opposite. Everyone's off travelling, going back to
school, dying their hair fun colours, and partying day in and day out. This isn't just
people the same age as me, it's people who are in their early to mid thirties.
I am married and I want to buy a house and have babies. People my age look at me
like I've lost my marbles. With the option of travelling the globe, why would I stay
here and raise a family?
When I announced that I was getting married most people acted as though I was an
oppressed child bride (even though I was 24: hardly a child) and people tried to talk
me out of it. "What about being young, wild and free?" "You'll regret it!" "I'm
genuinely curious if you'l still be happy with this decision ten years down the track."
"I always tell people to never get married. I was married in the 80s and it was the
worst decision of my life!" etc. etc.
I know on Reddit everyone complains about the myriad of people who pressure
them to hurry up and get married and have children. But for me, it is the complete
opposite. No one wants me to have kids. For some reason, it's seen as almost a
form of suicide. Some people have even said that I don't really want children and it
is just my husband or society "tricking" me into thinking I want to procreate.
Everywhere I go someone is telling me "don't do it!"

"I'm genuinely curious if you'l still be happy with this decision ten years

"I always tell people to never get married. I was married in the 80s and it
was the worst decision of my life!"
They've already lost it. I don't want to associate with people who talk to me
like that.
[–] Calamity_Thrives [score hidden] 18 minutes ago
There seems to be this prevailing attitude lately of commitments being life

ruiners. You can still be young, wild and free if you're married. You can still
travel the world with kids. But even if you don't do that stuff, it's ok. All that
matters is that you're happy and are working towards a life YOU value.
I guess the point they're trying to make is once you have kids, there's no going
back to do all that other stuff, whereas if you do all that stuff now, you can still
have kids later, and maybe bring a bit more knowledge to the table at the same
time.
But it's your life, you do you, if you feel like adventuring later, you can just buy a
sailboat, throw the kids onboard and take to the high seas. (Everyone will be
lining up to tell you this is a terrible idea also, screw those guys)
I have 4 kids and I have to admit, being a divorced parent with 50/50 custody often
seems like a pretty sweet deal. I love my wife to bits, but the idea ofhaving every
other week off to do stuff for myself definitely has an attraction.

Thank you. I swear the whole world is against people over 30 who don't wanna settle

Slow down your drinking, get a plan in place to pay off any outstanding debt, stretch every
night and every morning, stay on top of daily supplements, and take home ownership
seriously. When you're retired, a mortgage/rent free place to live is extremely important -
I'd say moreso than a 401k as primary R/E over a long period of time is typically the safest
investment and yields a strong ROI.

STOP SAYING SWAG/YOLO and stop dabbing.

Not to mention those words are as stuck in the early 2010s as bronies and neckbeards
wearing fedoras.
[–] DiscordianStooge 2 points 2 hours ago
My 8 year old tells me "Dab is dead," so everyone should probably stop dabbing.
[–] jungle_i 2 points 6 hours ago
You'll never stop my dank dabs <o/

[–] TinyFriendlyMonsters 1 point 2 hours ago
B-b-but how else will I embarrass my kids? I'm such a groovy mama!
I have seen dabbing referenced in several threads and just assumed it was the
marijuana dabbing as that was the only use of the slang I knew.
Once I turned 30, I just stopped hearing the latest slang/fads and that is okay.

Whatever you do, don't fall down. You'll easily lose 6 months of your life just being too quick
and clumsy. Go a little slower and watch every step. Especially don't fall down any steps.

This world is a artificial dream, you don't die when you die, because everything is a

Spend as much time with your parents are you can. They won't be around for too much
longer.
I know this applies to people of all ages but I feel like when you hit your 30's and potentially
become parents yourself it starts to really make sense and hit you differently.

Someone needs to tell me that the stress becomes easier. That I will slowly care less and
that it's okay to care less. That my priorities will shift and the things that I stress about will
be easier to accept.
[–] plippp 16 points 6 hours ago
The stress becomes easier. You will slowly care less and it's okay to care less. Your
priorities will shift and the things that you stress about will be easier to accept.

If I may, as you chart your path through the world, you'll realize (if you haven't already)
that you don't care what other people think of you. Because everyone is too worried
about themselves to worry about other people. Then life gets better. Stress isn't a bad
thing, it helps you get things done, but only stress about the big stuff.
by the way, it's almost all small stuff.

This is the actual prime of your life. You're wiser than your 20s but stronger than your 40s.
Hopefully you’re at least on the General track from /r/personalfinance.

[–] eveplayersarejerks 4 points 5 hours ago
Place was kind of a circle jerk for investment if you make 200k a year or more last time
I checked it out. Every time I even mentioned an emergency savings I was bashed on
for not having people be fully invested. As a certified budget/credit counselor I want
people who are not there yet to know that first priority should be savings, then your
credit. Everything is cheaper if you can cover emergencies, build good credit and budget
to buy in bulk and pay upfront. Once you are there head over to /r/personal finance to
get opinions about investing and retirement.
Yeah I meant moreso the plan they have on their sidebar vs individual
recommendations.

Your body has begun its inevitable decline. Healthy diet and exercise help delay the effects

"The Five Remembrances

I am of the nature to grow old. There is no way to escape growing old.
I am of the nature to have ill health. There is no way to escape ill health.
I am of the nature to die. There is no way to escape death.
All that is dear to me and everyone I love are of the nature to change. There is no way to
escape being separated from them.
My actions are my only true belongings. I cannot escape the consequences of my actions.
My actions are the ground upon which I stand."

Just because you're 30 doesn't mean you should already have your shit together. Do your
best and muddle along, just like the rest of us. Take a deep breath and try to stay calm, you
aren't alone in this even if it feels like you are sometimes.
[–] BlahVans [score hidden] 20 minutes ago*
It's okay if you don't have everything sorted out yet.

It's extremely common these days for people in their 30s to be going through complete
career changes, to be unmarried, no kids... so don't stress out if your life isn't following a
track you had in mind when you were in your teens or twenties.

You should get down from the skateboard. Your bones are not what they used to be
[–] PerfectGoldenToast 7 points 2 hours ago
I guess people over 30 shouldn't play any type of sports at all, we should just hide in
our houses and don't dare dream of rollerblading or riding a bike ever again! If you're
entering your thirties and you're that worried about your bones being brittle then you
have bigger issues than skateboarding.
[–] OMFPALM 1 point 5 hours ago
I haven't broken a bone since I was a teenager. There's some inherent risk but if you
know your limitations and you can bail/take a slam properly you should be okay.

It doesn't get better. Stressors get stronger and more abundant. Time simultaneously slows
down and speeds up. Parents generally start dying. Families fall apart. Friends lost contact.
Things you once enjoyed will slowly lose their appeal. New things won't be exciting at all.
Money is never enough. Loneliness sets in even in long term relationships. Shall I continue?
[–] plantdreamer [score hidden] 59 minutes ago
Yeah man some of these things are unavoidable and some of these things are
changeable, but even with the unavoidable things a shift in perspective can help you.
Talking to someone about the way you feel would probably be helpful. You don't have to
look at the world this way.

Shut the fuck up.

Seriously, at some point in your life, it will be immensely important for you to be told to just
STFU. For most people, it happens more than once, but it definitely should have happened
to you by the time you hit 30.

You make your money when you buy, not when you sell. Make lasting relationships, not
conquests. Write actual thank-you notes for simple things, they act as a multiplicative
agent. Smile more, listen more. You were given two ears and one mouth. Use them in that
exact ratio.
[–] every1poos [score hidden] 16 minutes ago
The 30s are awesome!! Don’t marry an idiot, don’t feel pressured to have kids. You need to
stop blaming your fuck ups on your parents, you’re all grown up now take responsibility for
your own personality. If you don’t like who you are or where your life is or going, go to
therapy and change.
It’s not too late to continue education.
You’ve got this! Enjoy it! I just turned 42 and the next years of my life started when I was
37.
