Elder millennial here, turning 40 next year. I so loved my 30s, treasure those years. They go by so fast, and I'm sure my 40s will go by even faster. Slow down and take time to appreciate the small things.
1980 crew here to tell you to have fun, 30s are awesome, but take care of your damn bodies this decade
It'll be fine . I'll be 30 in December but it's is just a number and I hope to have a great time going forward .
Eh. Feel the same as I did 10 years ago, only in better shape than I've ever been and career Is finally on the upswing. Spent the first half of 30 in existential dread but I've come to my senses. Bring it on.
An impending doom I will soon know in about 2 months. So yeah, I'm not taking it well.
Exactly what an old person would say.
As your direct superior (1989), I can assure you that the icy grip of father time will tighten ever faster now.
Turned 30 earlier this year. While I don't feel any different, it's a little jarring to be considered "old" now. Finances and future prospects for retirement are grim--considering I had a very late start to my career; also starting to get real nervous about my mortality.
Overall, doing fine I guess lol.

28 here;
These kids blasting Lil Uzi and calling hotdogs "Glizzies" is hitting me hard.
Also my body attacks me for doing the wrong thing now, whether it be sitting in a bad posture, not going to bed early and eating fast food/sugar.

Hum why do threads have a news prefix by default? This is the second time i have a prefix by mistake...
Turned 30 in June. Honestly until quarantine started I was feeling okay about it. 2020 was going to be a big year for me, was meant to get married in April but yeah...things haven't gone to plan
33 here. My fav. thing about turning 30 was no longer giving two shits about turning 30. Amazingly, you feel exactly the same :P
In my mid-30s. 20s are faster, more frenetic, more haphazard, and kinda loose & crazy at times. That's definitely something to be missed, but I've been enjoying my 30s much more. You're still very young in your 30s. If you're an active person the stamina and strength is still there (although it's requires stretching and cooldowns now haha). If you take good care of yourself, your physical appearance begins to enter that awesome blend of young and old where there are slight signs of age but a youthful undertone. There's a better chance that you are more financially stable at 30 than you were at 20. Relationships, whether you are single or not, are much more clearly defined as the bullshit of puppy love is gone.
It's just a much more grounded, yet youthful experience. Don't dread your 30s. Lean into them.

Indeed. 37 club as well.
BUT
To all fuckos joining us in the road to certain doom: 30 is that age where you body starts telling you it's time start stretching before working out.
Stretch, baby!
Also that beard and your full muscular final form will be achievable this decade. Lift, brothers and sisters, LIFT for glory and the world ending! LIIIIIFT!
At any rate, you're now in the not-invincible stage of life, and your health will be something worth doing the work for. So that health and fortune may be on your path.
Happy birthday, OP.
Also: lift! (If safe and doable)
I've got a year to go. Man the last few years have been not great socially. I'm realizing that friends from work are now my main social space which is a shame cause I work with 3 other people remotely. College friends have scattered and I've moved so much that my past is sort of gone. Just starting to lose grandparents too which is hard.
Still despite covid, I'm doing virtual meetups for drawing clubs and improv. Once "things get back to normal" I'm getting my ass out there socially again.
Sorry I sort of rambled about me, my partner sort of ran out of advice to help atm lol.

It's weird. I wish I wrote a future letter to myself a decade ago. I'm going to do so for my 40 yo self.
Just wait until you wake up at 40. I'm worried I'm going to adopt the political disease that older people often suffer from. I'm worried I'll wake up with a start one morning and involuntarilty yell "SEND THEM ALL BACK!".
It certainly happened to my dad.

I'm due in November.
I feel pretty cool about turning 30, actually, I feel like I've met my own expectations of where I should be in life by this time. I'm married, have a stable job, good income (could be so much better but I don't need to save pennies), I feel good about this. My 20s were an insane rollercoaster, I had a blast and also went through depression, and here I am, alive and well.
The key to getting old is feeling good about how much you have accomplished, working hard to meet your own expectations. Now I intend to be at a totally different place when I turn 40, it's gonna take a lot of work but it's definitely doable.
Cheers for all of us 1990 kids, best year to have been born!
