Guys, how's your 30s going?? 😅 What changes do you see in your life/routine/body? I am sure this new age must have brought many changes in your life, like mine too.. so share your thoughts 💭

The 30s!!!

The 30s!!!- Grapevine

Folks in the age group of 32 and above. What significant change you saw in your life post 30 both in terms of health and work? 

What do you wish you had done better or a piece of advice for the ones in 20’s. I understand good workouts, healthy eating and financial discipline are top of the list. Would love to get some perspectives beyond that.

How should one be prepared for life post 30?

30s is such a scary age, people around hype it as youth death. But I believe it has its own benefits and positives

What's that your life has given you?

I just hit 30 and it feels... different. Not bad, just not what I expected. My 20s were a whirlwind of possibilities, but now I'm wondering if I'm supposed to have it all figured out.
How are your 30s different from your 20s? What changes - good or bad - caught you off guard?

How are your 30s different than your 20s?

This post just punched me in the gut. I remember waking up on my 30th birthday and just... staring at the ceiling. Wondering where the hell my 20s went. 
  
 You know what's weird? I miss the chaos sometimes. The shitty apartments, sasti daaru, the all-nighters with friends, thinking we could conquer the world. Now I'm here, with a decent job and a place of my own, and some days I feel more lost than ever. 
  
 The other day I caught myself getting excited about buying a new vacuum. A vacuum! 25-year-old me would've laughed his ass off. 
  
 But it's not all bad. I actually like myself more now. I don't take as much crap from people. I know what I want in a relationship. Still, there are nights I lie awake wondering if I'm doing this whole "adult" thing right. 
  
 I guess what caught me off guard the most is realizing my parents were just winging it too. We're all just trying to figure it out as we go :) 
  
 To anyone else feeling this: you're not alone. We're all a little scared, a little excited, and just hoping we're on the right track. Let's be kind to ourselves. Maybe that's what our 30s are really about - let’s fucking go!

How are you 30s different than your 20s

Welcome to Moving Abroad's Private Community

I don't think I have a future in India. In about 2 years, proposals for marriage will start coming for me and family members will start harassing me for it. Also, would like to find a partner (which is quite impossible here). I am a product designer and want to move out of this country as soon as the job market is stable.

How can I move to US/Western Europe apart from doing masters as a product designer? Do companies hire product designers from other countries? Or is it more easy as engineer?

Please don't troll here, I am already depressed all the time and can't handle it more

Marriage age for men

Growth Manager

I've never really liked babies until I crossed 30. Now, the annoying brats suddenly look cute and endearing. Never even thought about having kids before, but now I am (even though I can't afford to).

Seeing this in others too who are close to 30s. My insta DMs used to be filled with random memes, now I'm getting cutesy baby content from friends and acquaintances near their 30s. 

Women I met from dating apps want to desperately get married, even got 2 proposals out of nowhere.

Peer pressure and fomo is getting out of hand. Never thought I'd experience this tbh. Very weird time.

Anyone else in the same boat?

Hormonal changes near/post 30s is very real 😶‍🌫️

Generalist

Do all late 20s (28-29 years) men face the same issues mentioned below? 


1. Parents getting old- you don't want to see your loved ones getting old 
2. Single earning member 
3. Staying away from parents sucks as they need us more now.
4. Paying rent 30-40% of total in-hand salary in metro cities. 
5. Less friends, even if you have more friends you don't want to express what you are going through. 
6. No emergency fund- Agar koi emergency ayi to dosto ko paise mangne padenge.
7. Job switch - As the market is unstable, so you're afraid to switch and get laid off.
8. You want everyone around you to be happy, as your happiness depends on their happiness. 
9. Unable to express what you are going through to people around you (wife, parents, friends, relatives etc)
10. Happy Wife Happy Life - You try to do things out of the box (which is beyond your reach) because it makes her happy. 
11. What about our happiness?
12. Many more....

I'm going through this now. Sometimes I feel like I should talk to a person (who is anonymous to me and I'm anonymous to him/her) and express everything that is depressing me.

Late 20s Issues

Please share your wisdom to help the next generation to figure out life and stuff 😁.

All the mid thirties people, drop advice for the mid twenties people...

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

Same as title. Have always seen advices for people in 20s. People in 30s also need guidance. 😐

Now, the answers to this question would depend if there are people in 40s on grapevine. 😬

People in 40s, what would you advise people in 30s?

Product Manager

I used to be a creative guy in my mid 20s. I learned to play a guitar, could sketch pretty well and also used to work out pretty regularly.
Lift has changed drastically in the last 2 years and I now find myself no time to spend on my hobbies. I tuned 30 recently and have been under slight shock that my responsibilities are bound to increase due to family and work.
I had no responsibility till now and had lived a care free life.
Now that I am engaged, I've realized that I need to dedicate my time for my family, my well being, my upskilling and also some to to evaluate my finances. This has also made me realize that I won't have enough time for my hobbies/interests. I badly want to learn to play an electric guitar and the fact that I won't have much time terrifies me as I need to make a choice of doing something that I love (learn to play a guitar) or doing something that helps me to live a life and pay off my bills which basically is my full time job.
I might have a child in another 4-5 years and the responsibility of having a child terrifies me even more. 
I don't want to make a choice between being there for my child and being there for my work.
I'm not sure if I'm over thinking or just being realistic but not having enough time for yourself due to work and family has been bothering me lately. 
I'm 30 and the fact that responsibilities are bound to increase in my life terrifies me.
Is this a common and a normal feeling or is this unnatural?

Folks who are working in your 30s, do you still find time to work on your hobbies? If yes, how are you able to manage your family life, work life, upskilling, working out and making time for your hobbies?

Why are all my pictures blurry?

Is it just me?

Is it my phone or coming of age?

What are your thoughts when people say "Enjoy your 20's" ? do you agree?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Context: I am a software engineer with 4 years of experience.

Everytime I work with a bunch of engineers (Especially Indian Startups). Most of them are workaholics.

They are just working for some company full-time. They are interested in learning more about technology, making jokes about technology, following technology news, etc. 

That is it. 

No social life. (Especially after Covid). No skills in any other part of life.

Their comfort zone is so small that they have developed a lifestyle of working, sleeping & watching something on laptops and that's it.

They make an excellent salary but don't do anything else. 

Every time I meet a 35-40-year-old software engineer, it is just a physically unfit guy with an arranged marriage who is boring as a brick.

Are most Software Engineers boring outside work?

I am in my late 20s and I feel attacked. Thank you for striking the right chord 
  
 I've come to realize that, like many software engineers, I've found myself navigating the monotony of an 8-hour job, often feeling isolated from my office peers. It can be challenging when people hesitate to open up, but the reasons for this became clear. 
  
 There are two key aspects at play: a minimal social life and prioritizing work. These factors are interconnected. In late 20s, the circle of friends tends to shrink, and individuals are busy setting up their own lives, leading to growing distances. With limited time for each other, it's easy to become engrossed in work life. I didn't anticipate that making friends would become a challenge, and I acknowledge this as a personal objective (read OKR) for myself. Despite being an extrovert, reinitiating the trust and friendship path can be difficult. 
  
 To address this, I've proactively connected with people, stepped out of my comfort zone, and initiated new activities. It's a challenging process, and sometimes it feels like I'm overdoing it, but the effort is rewarding. Engaging in activities beyond my job role, such as joining a gym or participating in public discussions, has been beneficial. I've also reduced my time on social media, realizing that platforms like Instagram reels consume a significant portion of my time. 
  
 I'd like to urge understanding for people in their late thirties. Having once criticized the habits of those in their late twenties when I was in my early twenties, I now comprehend the challenges of their situation. Unexpectedly, I find joy in shopping for groceries and organizing them neatly. It's all about priorities, and embracing change has made a significant positive impact in my life.
