Off Topic Approaching 30 years old advice

Just live in the moment.
Do a lot of what you like and avoid doing **** you don't like.

 

If you’re a lad who likes to keep in shape don’t give that up cause trust me when you hit your late 30’s/early 40’s it gets harder to lose the pounds…..keep on top of your body and it will help the mind too

 

Considered joining the Army Reserve?

Ticks a lot of the boxes above - keeps you fit, outdoors, adventure and all that.

Plus you might get a free holiday to the Ukraine.

 

Don't be afraid of taking risks. You have plenty of time left to fix things if it all goes tits up

 

What he means is, finger blast as many young uns as humanly possibly and don’t worry about the consequences

 

I never really worry about it tbh, there are always people older than you who have started later or changed their career all of a sudden and **** like that.

Just enjoy it and dont care what people think, always have a job.

 

Lake District (where I live) is amazing. There are loads of brilliant walks man.

Like I say I missed out on so much because I was being a dick so don’t do what I did. The little things in life are the greatest.

 

I wished I had listened to this 5 years ago. It’s hard to shift 3 stone.

 

It’s a depressing reality…. going through the beginnings of it here; but no holes dug yet, mercifully

 

Where abouts in the lakes? Class place

 

Actually it’s within touching distance but that suits me. In a little city called Carlisle.

 

Carlisle is a **** hole

 

30’s is cool mate. Have the last bit of fun with the ladies and then lower the pace a bit.. on and travel… lots…

 

I wish you’d asked me a few years ago
I can’t remember what I was going to say now

 

30 is the new 13.!

 

If you can, get out and see the world. I dont mean trips to Spain, go travelling, even on shoe string budget. Your experiences will be something to treasure and you'll realise the day to day **** you worried about previously, wasn't worth it. As you get older and you get more ties (kids, career etc) then it becomes a lot harder to do.

 

Keep fit, start taking a more serious approach to your health if you don’t already. Your body doesn’t deal with **** the same way it does in your twenties. Eat well, exercise and abuse your body less. Don’t live like a ****ing monk though, life is for living and you could get run over tomorrow. Live for the day always.

Travel as much as you can. See the world mate. You’re only here once. There are some cool as **** places to see.

Have a lot of sex. It’s good for the soul.

People are both great and ****. Start to cut out the bad, it’s just something you learn as you get older. Energy spent on people who can’t respect you and your values is energy wasted. Learn to be blunt with people, if you don’t like how someone treats you, speaks to you etc tell them straight and cut them off. You learn as you get older that people are inherently stubborn, and trying to find common ground is overrated. Obviously not always, not trivial stuff. Don’t just start being a bit ****ish to everyone

Generally just focus on getting what you want out of life and doing things you love and are interested in. Do the things you look at and think “I’d love to do that”. Obviously you have to be realistic but you’d be surprised how achievable some things are. Get a can do attitude if you don’t already have one. You’ll find people are way more helpful to you.

 

Cheers mate.

 

Not sure it's been mentioned but have you taken out life insurance yet?

 

Done mate. Life insurance, buildings and contents and I think income insurance.
