I just turned 30. Got married a year and a half ago. No kids #DINKLife. My job isnt exactly what I thought I’d be doing but I’m glad I went this route. I enjoy it but I’ve been busier at work the past 6-8 months than I’d like to be.

My books/reading game has fallen off a cliff the past few months

In all of the areas where I’m doing well someone my age is doing better. You can’t gauge your success/happiness by the success/happiness of others. You’ll always lose. Just find one or two small things to focus on and do those things better. Then you’ll build confidence. Then find another thing to do better. After a while you’ll start to like yourself again because you’re actually fixing yourself and not focused on other people.

Im about to be 33. And I’m online with with where I want to be. BUT, I’ve got a long way to go to be where I want to be at 35 and a very short time it seems like to get there.
I was a homeowner at 22, married at 23, business owner at 24, almost divorced at 25, first kid at 27, second at 30. My 20s was a LONG decade.

I turn 30 in April. I'm on the other side of my "quarter life crisis".
In a relationship but marriage not on the immediate horizon. Only pressure I feel is I know I want kids at some point. Otherwise I try not being impacted by the status of my peers. Many are married but not sure if they're happy. Many have stopped learning or never followed their curiosity.
Happy in my career, not bc I've advanced but because I know how to embrace every day despite transition. Career is an ever changing opportunity to learn, adjust, and contribute. Propose isn't in what I get out of it but instead rooted in the people/customer I serve.
Bought a condo but by no means was this a checklist item. In fact, the checklist really doesn't exist. Liberating to throw the checklist away.
If you find yourself odd man out, distance from your environment can provide clarity and perspective. It's not about them. It's about treating yourself right, loving yourself.

It's never too soon to have a midlife crisis, baw. And guess what, you can have as many as you like. You aren't limited to one.

I grew up a lot more starting around age 33-34 and started to become more comfortable with myself and who I am.
I was still partying like it was spring break in college at 30. All while having a decent career and a wife and kid.

When you get to be 60 all of this with the exception of maybe books/reading will mean squat.

Don't compare yourself to others, there are to many factors that play into "success".
The only thing you should concern yourself with is:
1)are you giving your best effort in whatever career you are in?
2)are you and your family if they exist happy?
Even if the answer to either of these questions is no, you shouldn't get caught thinking about the coulda, woulda, shouldas.
Instead, make a plan to achieve the goals that you want in life. it doesn;t have to be detailed or anything.
TLDR: Don't worry about others or the past, just do your best in the present and in the future.

My advice to you would be to quit comparing yourself to other people. You have been conditioned from birth to think that life is a competition to keep you chronically dissatisfied. It’s a psychological ploy to keep you consuming. Don’t fall for it.

Baw I’m 32 and on the “I need a house to feel better about myself” kick.

I am in my mid-20s right now and getting old scares the shite out of me. I haven't hit a quarter-life crisis yet, but I can feel one coming on. My job pays well but isn't very fulfilling and since I got a new position I have been putting in more 12 hour days than I would like. I'd honestly just rather be fishing than anything else at the moment.

That happened to me from about 37-46... after my divorce.
