Turning 30 in 2 Years

Some women I know were afraid to turn 30 because they are still single, and they wanted to marry and have children by the time they are 30. But I didn't felt the same way about being 30 or 40, I just turned 40 and I am more afraid of turning 50. Maybe this can make you feel better: A Survey with 100 men shows that - the most highly sought after women are those in their 30's because, according to these men, women in their 30's has experience, maturity, and class! So don't worry too much! Enjoy your life whatever age you're in!

well i don't get it why specially women that turns 30 is not comfortable with the age well maybe lots of people are getting serious about there age

i am already over 30 now and i don't have any difficulty at all when i turn 30... in fact, to tell you honestly, i didn't feel anything at all when i turn 30... it just like any ordinary b'day to me... i don't know why though... i know that many women are scared of turning 30... but i don't... take care and have a nice day...

Thirty was nothing for me, I didn't have any kind of melt down just because I was turning 30. I was too busy with a 7 yr old daughter and a 1 yr old. I didn't have time to worry about turning 30. But then again it was no big deal for me turning 40 either. By that time I had become a certified wildland firefighter and was living life to it's fullest. I just turned the big 5 0 this past January. It was great, had a party with some of my fellow firefighters, and to be honest, I'm in better physical shape now than I was at 30. Still fighting fires and living life to the fullest. Birthdays shouldn't be feared, it should be celebrated, after all age is just a number.

This is after-the-fact turning 30 but it may be helpful. I have a sister who was born two days before my first birthday. So for two days we are the same age until I turn one year older. The year that I was about to turn 31 and she was about to turn 30, this sister called me and told me how depressed she was about turning 30. I couldn't believe my ears. She sure didn't think about me turning 30 the year before and ask how I was handling turning 31, she just thought how depressed she was to turn 30. I burst out laughing when she brought this up. I told her that if she wanted any sympathy, she needed to call our younger sister who had not experienced the 30 thing yet. The conversation fell silent. She had called the wrong sister. Ooooooops. I am now in my 50s and am glad that the 30s and 40s are behind me. The 30s were the childrearing years of tight money and children around the clock (did day care to be home)but was worth every day of it. The 40s were going through the change and trying to just keep my female organs that the doctor wanted to take not to mention mid-life crisis. I made it through that intact. Now in my 50s, there's not too much I worry about. Life is good and it's my oyster. It's the best decade yet. Each decade holds its challenges and its rewards. I wouldn't trade any of them to go back but am looking forward to a better and better future! Hopefully when all is said and done, I will have added to other people's lives by loving and helping other. It doesn't matter how old I get that is my goal, it always has been and always will be.

I hope you don't mind if I post my comment although I'm already 35. When I was just turning 30 I also had thoughts like that but none of them proved to be true. They are only unfounded fears and there was no big difference at all except that you got older. :) You should't stress yourself. There is nothing to worry about and it will just make you look older if you do so.

I'll be 30 next May. I'm not dreading it too much, but I think that it's because it's still a little over a year away. A woman I know was just talking about this at the bus stop the other day and saying it hit her hard when she turned 40. I think hitting 30, 40, 50 etc. is always hard because you are closing a chapter on your life. When you hit 30 your partying 20's are gone. When you hit 40 you are climbing up the hill. 50 you are considered over the hill. I don't mind getting older for the most part. The only thing that bothers me when I think about it is thinking about one day not know who my family is like I've seen many grandparents do..and leaving my kids and grandkids.

I felt young and happy when I was in my twenties. I went to parties in my teenage years and was over that sort of life by the time I reached my early twenties. In my twenties I did lots of studying and changed careers. I worked in shipping and transport and then I became a primary school teacher. I was dreading turning 30. I used to imagine the year 2000 and knew I would be old by that year. Now I am in my late thirties and I dread becoming 40. Some say life begins at 40 and that is to make people feel younger. I am sure I will dread becoming 50 even more. Then age 60 will be quite delightful I guess. I feel old at my age which is 37 years old.

i'll be 30 next yr and i'm not fussed on it. it's a number, not as if anything major will change. my son will be turning 9 a month after my b'day, he's 21 and 1 month younger than me. thou if your still single it could open up a a few more doors for you. more guys could show interest, and ladies are waiting that little bit longer before having kids now.

I am 33 now and I wasn't worried about turning 30. I am not worried about turning 40 or 50 either, actually I don't think much about my age and I don't want to be younger than I am. When I was 18 I had some friends who were 10 years older than me, they were jealous of me and they wanted to be 18 again, and when I was 25 people who were 35 said said that they wished they were 25. I don't feel that way at all. I have more experience now, and that I am happy about that. I am happy that I am not 20 or 25. My favourite quote about age is this one: "Age is like climbing a mountain, it might take a while before you get your breath back, but the view is much better".

I was so relieved when I turned 30 (I'll be 32 this year) simply because a lot of drama happened during my 20s, and I was just so sick of it. Turning 30 was a blessing, actually; it gave me the chance to start over again with a clean slate and get things right. On the other hand, I'm glad I went through what I did in my 20s because it's given me the strength to face whatever's going to happen in my 30s. I'm a much stronger person for it. I guess what I'm trying to get at is, don't look at 30 as being such a bad age. Look at it as a fresh start.

I'll be 30 in 5 years. I don't think it's a big deal for me. Although for women, it's another story. A friend jokingly said that she wants to go to neverland before she turned thirty. She was drunk then.

It wasn't different than other birthdays, except for getting a lot a pepper and pepper mills ... I don't think I'll freak out when I turn 40 either, for some reason I think it sounds worse than turning 30 but I don't think I'll care much when the day comes. The alternative is worse, dying before 40 is a bit too early :-/ I know quite a few of my friends have freaked out at turning 30, I don't get why so I haven't really been very understanding about it. Just laughed at them *he he* And my brother, who pretended not to care, freaked out when people congratulated him. So of course I told as many people as possible that it was his 30 birthday *evil grin*

I wasn't worried about turning 30 at all. Age comes to us all and we have to ust accept it. Remember that age is just a number not a reflection of who you are.
