Off Topic Approaching 30 years old advice

Turning 30 in the next couple of weeks.

Don't feel like I've completely wasted my 20's, I've learned quite a bit and am grateful for mental health issues forcing me into self awareness and onto a path of self awareness.

But I've spent quite a bit of time procrastinating definitely.

I feel hopeful that my 30's will be a lot better because of what I've gone through in my 20's, but it almost feels weird that youth is considered to be the best time of your life yet your ignorance causes you suffering more than anything else.

I makes absolute sense why your 20's would cause you more suffering than any other decade of your life. Your first full decade of adult level freedom but it begins with a lack of wisdom to know what to do so you cause yourself suffering.

Rant over. Any advice on what you should you do with your 30's?

I feel as if I'm just going to continue to come out of my shell, not go back unhealthy habits and try new things to have new meaningful experiences and keep myself healthy.

 

Anyadvice on what you should you do with your 30's?

Enjoy life while you can

 

Don't get too hung up on thinking your youth is the best time of your life and that your best days are behind you.

Most people who say their youth was the best time of their life only do it because they are old enough to have forgotten what their youth was really like!!

 

Assuming you don’t already do any of these things then my advice would be :-

Work your ass off.
Get on the property ladder.
Setup a private pension and/or ISA.
If you get the chance to travel (abroad especially) either via work or otherwise…take it.
If you have any particular skills, develop them…work for yourself if you can rather than some other ****er(s).

Most of all be happy mate, none of the above is worth killing yourself over. Your family, friends, health (mental or otherwise) are far more important than any of that. There’s always money to be earned somewhere….even if you have to sell your ass (tash it out if you will…see what I did there)?
Lastly and more importantly, if you need help….ask for it, regardless of what it is for there will always be someone who is willing to help!

 

Already got my mortgage and property sorted out and private pension.

Will probably travel more. I do enough in my job, I try to work my ass off on the treadmill.

Good advice. Thank you.

I will try to be a bit more adventurous, that's my goal. More meaningful experiences.

 

Start planning for your friends and family starting to dropping

 

Cheerful stuff

 

What to with your 30s isn’t easy to advise on. Every individual is different and their view of succeeding in life can’t be judged by others.

Keep good health. Treat others well or walk away from them. Cherish each day if you can. Always remember that you get reincarnated and can have another go next time…

 

Just stay 26 forever like me.

Jesus Christ I thought you where mid 50’s at least.

You need ti get out more.

Nah. Just kidding. Your still young man enjoy life that’s all I would say to my younger self. I was obsessed with making money and that’s it.

And now I’m 42 and yes I’m married no mortgage and kids but **** did I miss out on some fun ****.

 

Yeah, I'm spending a lot less time playing games and watching tv these days and more time out hiking to different places.

 

Essentially you're going to be 50 soon so don't bother focussing on being 30.
