Don't make decisions that only serve to make someone else happy.

I'm trying real hard to think of something NOT child related but I cannot.

Put in place a plan, time & money basically, that will allow you to have the family you want.

Don't panic over grey hair. I thought they come closer to 40🙄

romdowa · 19/04/2021 23:05

Be kind to yourself and put yourself first more. Also half the stuff you worry about doesn't matter in the long run , so worry less!

Mummy1608 · 19/04/2021 23:47

It's honestly not that different to turning 29.
Just carry on

Your 30s will be great, so much better than your 20s!

Mumblechum0 · 19/04/2021 23:53

You will never be this young again, enjoy every second

OnkasBigMoka · 19/04/2021 23:54

My advice would be, give less thought to 30 and more about what you want to have by 40. 40 is a great age but spend your 30's enjoying what from my experience are the true building blocks of your life.

Family, adventures, career any thing that makes you smile.

Start a pension or pay more into it if you have one already!

tigertreats · 20/04/2021 08:37

Have a ball.
I enjoyed my thirties way more than my twenties !

Work up to putting your age as a percentage in your pension.

Enjoy your youth and beauty whilst you still have it!

Don’t do things you really don’t want to do just because someone else wants you to do them. This doesn’t go for work though, I wouldn’t want to get you the sack.

If you get the chance, do the tings you want to do. Time flies and you’ll be middle-aged before you turn round, plus you never know what’s round the corner.

Accept that you will have changed over the last few years. I don’t think I really got to know who I was until I was 30, and part of that involved letting certain things go and coming to terms with the fact that I’d just out grown some things/people.

Pension, pension, pension.

And enjoy life more.
