“By 30 You Should…”: 30 Hilariously Relatable Tweets
Turning 30 is a huge life milestone. Unfortunately, however, the years leading up to it are often filled with dread and anxiety about closing the chapter on your twenties. 77% of Millennials and 83% of Gen Z admit that they feel pressure to accomplish certain goals before entering the next decade of their lives, but the reality is that age is just a number.
Everyone has a different idea of what it means to be in their thirties, so below, you'll find a variety of tweets detailing what we should all do and have “by age 30," as well as a conversation with Nicole Booz of GenThirty. Some of these tweets are sage wisdom, while others are painfully relatable or simply satirical, but they’re all refreshing reminders that we’re on our own journeys. So don’t feel bad if you haven’t yet acquired that drawer full of miscellaneous cords and chargers; you'll get there!

I never really bothered about politics until I was in my late 30's. Wow...just wow...I live in the UK. Our government is a complete joke. The way they acted during Covid alone....

Get a briefcase. Put most important documents in there and throw in a room somewhere. Then you just have to find the briefcase not the individual documents. It's in there somewhere.

Reminds me of when Johnny Depp turned fifty and somebody asked him something like what do you think about turning fifty and he just said it's better than not turning fifty

Haha. At 33 I was so burned out on city life I bought a plot of land on an island, built a container/recycled home off-grid with rain catchment, wind turbine, slush/septic tank and propane. At 45 I retired from my “career” job to travel the world learning new trades & skills before settling into my island life. Now I go between my family home in SF and my home home on the volcano. No more late nights going out, no needless shopping for the sake of shopping, no more sense of fomo. Now I get to work part time for my family business and spend all the time I can with my son and hubby. He gets to do the 9-5 thing now with the coffee & poor diet. I get to read the Forbidden Texts in the meantime.

And if you haven’t dated Leonardo DiCaprio by 30, give up that dream, it is way too late.

This is the best one. There is no real right of passage. Just our own experiences as we make our journeys on this planet we call Earth, living in countries separated by governments run by people who can't agree with each other.

By age 30, you should know enough to know that everyone claiming "emotional intelligence" is deadly toxic.

The only purpose of both news and politics is to make people angry.

Smart enough to know: a) Your goals in life. b) That your parents are your lifeline when things go horribly wrong. c) That is better to hold your tongue and let people think you're dumb than to speak out and remove all doubt.

Let people like what they like. Also politics are important to how they affect people's lives. It's a privilege not to have to care about politics.

It took 89 reads to find someone who hit the bull's eye, David Fleites. Thoughtful, concise & precise. Now, go fix society by working for environmental/criminal laws or becoming a politico~~even if it's school board or City Council. They need introspective, analytical, judicious, involved minds like yours.

Oh dear. Yes. This applies in EVERY generation. 9/11 or Pearl Harbour or Cuban Missile Crisis. Covid or AIDS or Hong Kong Flu or Tuberculosis. Etc.

By age 30 you should be done and dusted with judgemental a******s who think they know what matters and should be priorities for every 30 year old.

Did anyone else get pissed off by all the "have x amount of money saved" and the "everything bad in your life is your fault" posts? Or is it just me

Personally, I'm glad to be rid of those annoying expectations anyway. Like's more fun when you don't give a toss.
