Aibu to ask how your life changed between the age of 30 to 35??

If it has!

Being nosey having just turned 30 and wondering where I will be in 5 years time! Hoping to have bought a house (waiting for the market to stabilise) be married with children (at least one!) Not asking for much am I haha!! 👀 anything could happen so i dont want to jinx it but looking forward to the future is really keeping me going right now!

How about you? 😀

Between 30 and 35 I have paid off mortgage for first time , changed jobs, brought second home, had first baby and job a management position. I have never thought about it before but not bad really

Went back to work at 31 after 2 years off with DC 1. Had DC two at 34. Was already married with a house but this was in 1990s so houses were v cheap.

Between 30-35 I got married, had 2 children and moved to the area we wanted to raise our children.

We went to Oz at 30. Then tried to adopt at 31 (which didn’t work out). I had quite bad MH issues for a while at 32. Then at 33 fell pregnant and had a son at 34. A few operations were also had at 34. At 35 we moved into our forever home. So a life changing 5 years for me

Promoted to senior role, got married, bought a house, became a mum. In fact, it was a really good time come to think of it. Turn 37 next month and now wondering how things will change up to 40.

At 30 I had been married 3 years and we had bought our first house. By 35 we had 2 small children (having taken a long time TTC), had moved house to one with some land and a building to convert for our business. We moved our business to it when I was 35, we still live in the same house 26 years later! It was a very busy and at time tough few years, but we survived.

I got married and had 2dc in my twenties, I am now in the 30-35 age bracket, have a rocky marriage living at parents without husband and trying to make marriage work, so I don't have a home of my own and don't know how that will pan out its hard to see the future waiting on a council list and hoping for a house we've done all the private renting and we could not afford £800 odd a month just on rent now. Sometimes I lay there and think what the hell how did I end up on a matress in a spare room with 2dc at this age. Good to hear so many people brought a house in their 30s this is something I really want to do as I feel sometimes that I am getting too old to get onto the property ladder!

My life changed drastically, the only thing that stayed the same was my home, although even the house has been completely overhauled.
I decided I wanted to settle down so distanced myself from party friends, left my job which I never thought that I would - went from manager to supervisor and the change in pace was amazing. Joined a dating site & met DH, Lost 5 stone before TTC, had our son & quit work to be at home with him full time. And then got married 😂

It was a busy few years!

I (33) bought a house with my husband, got offered a permanent job in my desired field, and got pregnant. Lots has changed in the last 3 years!

30 I was rich, had a huge house in the country, was travelling the world on a whim on and off with my son.

35 I was in a damp flat in a city paid for by housing benefit while desperately trying to find any crappy minimum wage job that would work around my son.

Between 30 and 36 I had three children. My life changed immeasurably!

I was married at 29 then turned 30 the following week.
Had a baby at 33. I was very happy between 30-35
Incidentally have you read Mike Gayle Turning 30? It's a great book

Had my second child, divorced my ex, bought my own house and finally met the man who is now my lovely husband

I am not 35 yet, but got married at the age of 30 and bought a house the same year. DH and I then decided life was getting too settled (boring), so I accepted a job abroad. Covid has delayed our move somewhat, but hopefully we'll start our new life abroad before the end of the year.

Cheating as I’m not 35 yet but from age 28-just after 30 I got engaged, got married, bought a house, bought a car and had two children! So a lot happened in a short period of time :)

I'm 35. Since 30, i met DP, we have a child and we moved out of London.

Still don't own a house. Got my first management role a year ago. We're hoping we can buy in the next year or so.

My life changed drastically in that the relationship I was in during this time didn't turn out how I wanted it to and my whole world fell apart. In this timescale I also completed my studies and (unrelated) secured a dream job that would propel me to a great height and take me to living in a different country and culture.

I got my shit together between 30 and 35. Before that it had been... well. I’ll spare you.

I started a new job, moved into my first house and then had three children.

At 30 I was living in a bad flat share and had just met an interesting man but it was early days. By 35 I was married with a child and two more on the way and had moved cities. Not all good though as I had also had a life changing accident and was still undergoing painful medical treatment.

Kicked out my lying, cheating ex. Travelled around the country alone, went abroad alone, learned how much better cinemas and gigs can be alone since you don't have to go with what anyone else wants to do and really just enjoyed myself for the first time in many years. I became really comfortable with just going to a pub or restaurant alone if I wanted to and I still take myself out for a treat to do this now and again.

A couple of years after splitting with ex I met now-DH, travelled a bit with him and went to loads of gigs etc with him too and didn't mind him being there at all so figured he was a good one. Got engaged when I was 34 (36 when we married though.) Moved house although wasn't 100% happy there but have since moved again and love our new house so much. Still not quite 40 yet so the last 10 years have been a total turnaround for me.

Had kids, got fat, became antisocial, cynical and depressed.

I met my partner at 32, got married at 34 and had a baby at 35.

I'm 34.

When I turned 30, I was married, we had a house (with a mortgage), but I was unemployed after being made redundant and was struggling to work out what to do next.

In the next few years, I started a volunteer role which turned into a job that I enjoy, got pregnant with my first child (which has definitely transformed my life!) and I am now pregnant with my second child, who will be born before my 35th birthday.

So, in 5 years, a "career" change (not that I think of my job as being grand enough to call it a career) and two children.

I hope you get the things you're dreaming of, OP. A lot can happen in 5 years

I moved cities, gave up work, got married, had three children. I'm 35 in July though, so still got time for more!!
