I have a question for all of you who are over 30 years old. Go back to when you were exactly 30 years old. What was your life like at that particular age? Were you where you wanted to be in life? Were you in the job/career that you always wanted? Were you married with kids? Were you a home-owner?

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. 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?




Living paycheck to paycheck with a 2 yr old kid. Not saving much money but we were starting to get ahead in life if you will call it.

Not trying to diagnose, but empty and numb, sometimes for no reason, is a sign of depression. Chemical brain shite. Not situational. Just something that is part of you. And that's ok. But if you really feel everything is A-OK in your life and you feel empty, talking to someone may help.

What the OT thinks about a lot of things is stupid, that’s why most everything I read on here is taken with a grain of salt.

Age is a state of mind.

You’ll be happily married before long. I’d say you have lots to look forward to.

If not, you’re doing it wrong.

When I was 30 I was married, a home-owner and had a good job. I wouldn't call it my dream job, but I honestly still don't know what that is. I had a good life and was satisfied. I wanted a child by 30, but that didn't work out. I'm actually not upset it took us a few years to get pregnant because it let us enjoy a few years of marriage kid free.

Nah. You can't base your timeline on others. Things will happen when they are meant to.

I was married by 30, owned a modest home, a good job and was very happy.

Then, at 31 my wife left me for another man. Life went downhill fast. I threw myself into work for about 2 years, didn't do much else.

Then met my current wife, and it's been a great ride since then.

You don't have to accomplish great things to have an impact. Just love those around you. (But not some other guys wife).

30-33 were the toughest for me. I was engaged, owned a home, and been in the military my entire adult life.

The hard part for me was the fact I was going through grown up motions, scared shitless that I was making the wrong decisions, and one day someone was going to pull the curtain and see I was faking it. By 35 I am married, 2 kids, settled into airline life and finally feel like the plan is coming together.

One of the many things on the horizon I’m looking forward to, plus graduating

And I still have a whole life ahead of me so not being where you want to be at 30 is not the end of the world

Well my 30th birthday sucked. Was in a dead end job, was completely sick of my city, and tired of being single. Going into 31 got my dream job, moved to an awesome new city, have a great girlfriend, and am near a better social group than in my last city.

It’s night and day better for me now. Life is on the up and up. If it can happen to me, it can happen to you, and we’re both roughly the same age.

Don’t compare yourself to other people. You’re going to limit yourself and your potential if you do that.

But, if you really want to, at 30 I landed an awesome job, bought a house, and my wife had just graduated from school (we had been married for 5 years at that point).
