Turning 30 this year and feeling behind in life!

Hi all,

Me and my girlfriend are turning 30 this year and are starting to feel behind in life.

We feel behind because people around are age are getting engaged, married or are having children.

We feel like we can't get married or have children because are jobs are low paid (take home £3000 a month both.) and it's stopping us from doing these things. Plus we can only afford a 1 bedroom home and that's also stopping us from having children.

We just feel like why it can't be us.

Does anyone else feel like this with feeling behind and how would you go about it?

I think this is natural as 30 is a milestone age and different sorts of peer pressure creep in.

Refocus on what you want and know time is on your side.
