I was as pissed off at 30 as I am now.
I’ll fight you all.
It’s just a flesh wound.

I feel like I didn’t mature until about 28. I wasn’t a loser. I had a wife, kids, good job, etc but I wasn’t driven.
At 30 I took a leap and bought some property to build my dream house. Now I feel like I’m more motivated and driven than then.
I honestly feel most males don’t mature until they get close to 30. People ask me why their son, son in law, etc “doesn’t get it” and I tell them “bc he’s 25, I didn’t either at that age.”

I'm 30 right now. Am married, am a home-owner, no kids yet, and am at a high point in my career.
Compared to peers I'm doing better than some, not as good as others...but frick all that... I love where I am right now.

At 30 I played a role. It was like I was living in a world not of my creation, not truly understanding myself. I had lived abroad and was hiking cycling etc every day, but my career was a mess. I was focusing on having great experiences at the expense of a conventional career. At 50, I was SO freakin grateful I did it differently than my peers. Because life is a journey bro, and your path belongs to you. Don’t worry about expectations, just pursue MEANING in your life. You’ll get more comfortable in your own skin over time and things will make more sense.

Honesty:
Just got married.
Just bought a house.
Had a car note.
No kids.
Just finished residency.
Finally started my first job that I didn't plan an end date for.
Net worth far more negative than I ever really imagined it would be.
I basically was just starting to take real steps into adulthood. If you asked about 29.5, I still had a roommate.
Age isn't magic though. And round, divisible by 10-numbers shouldn't be defining.

30 too young to have a mid-life crisis?

I have news for you, your peers are not as well off as they portray themselves to be at age 30. Even better news is that you won’t care about comparing yourself to your peers by age 40.

Making six figures, own a 3200 sqft home, wrote a check for my Tahoe new off the lot, wife doesn’t work, have a newborn and no debt. I’ll turn 32 in April

I’m about to turn 30. Wife, kids, house, dogs, decent job. That being said I’m about to be back in school. Not happy with my current career situation.

Honestly I can’t even begin to explain the last 12 years of my life. It’s been an absolute shite show.
I’m 30 now and things are better and more stable today than ever before. No wife, kids, or mortgage yet. Moving to the mountains next year, which has been my ultimate goal since I was 18.

This isn’t a race. It’s your life, and it’s not made up of possessions or plaques on the wall but rather a quality of life. The biggest problem with 30 somethings is that you haven’t figured out what’s going to make you happy just yet, and so you compare yourselves to others constantly, which only leads to a feeling of disappointment, when you should focus on just achieving your own personal goals and just living life to the fullest because tomorrow isn’t guaranteed.

I have a question for all of you who are over 30 years old. Go back to when you were exactly 30 years old.
OK
What was your life like at that particular age?
Not too bad. Dating my wife while living in a high rise in Rover Oaks Houston
Were you where you wanted to be in life?
Yep
Were you in the job/career that you always wanted?
No, but I want to be an adviser for Jeff Bezos making 10 mil a year. it's hard to find that career these days.
Were you married with kids?
nope bu dating my wife
Were you a home-owner?
soon to be
I ask because I currently am 30 years old and honestly feel like I haven’t achieved much compared to my peers who are the same age.
you shouldn't judge yourself based on others. that breed envy and jealousy
I have a decent life but wonder if I’m far behind in the race. This may be a silly question, but is 30 too young to have a mid-life crisis?
ask yourself "why am I not happy" "what do I need to do to get there"
If you're answer is that you want to be an adviser for Jeff Bezos making 10 mil a year, you may be unhappy for a while.

At 29, I have started getting mail addressed to me from the AARP.

I had a decent job, but was going though a divorce that set me back years financially. Had a hot younger girlfriend though.
Now I’m 44, married (to the hot younger girlfriend) with 3 kids, have a good paying job, nice house, etc.
Work hard, stay focused on your goals, make good decisions, don’t be afraid to take calculated risks if the upside is there.
In the words of Frank Costello... “No one gives it to ya. Ya have to take it”

Good news is you are probably taller than Nick Saban and according to rant thinking....you are better off.

Race? Race to what? death? Live your life like you want to. Your peers are looking at you thinking you have it made.

As for the OP, 30 is very young. You have many paths you can take from here on in.
The oldest "millennials" will be 40 next year. Not sure why I mention that, but it should serve as a reminder how fast time flies.
