You're in your carefree 20s, living life to the fullest and staying out until 4 am. A few hours later, you're completely fresh, starting your shift at the coffee house. Hangovers do not exist, you have a ton of friends and can eat a whole pizza without any consequences at all. Suddenly, you're 30. The only parties you're going to now are your child's birthdays. Half an hour of sleep missed means you'll be cranky, the best present for you is a now a cooking pan, and dad jokes are the most hilarious jokes ever. Do any of these life changes sound familiar?
To summarize life in your twenties vs. thirties, Bored Panda has created a series of funny comics, illustrating the differences between the two. These funny memes about life will either prepare you for the years to come or help you to relive the days of the past and appreciate the age you're currently at. After all, the best cartoons are the ones that are highly relatable, right?
Now, scroll down below, have a good laugh about life in your 30s or take a walk down the memory lane to your 20s; these funny memes covers all the most important aspects of turning into a responsible adult.

Am I the only one under 30 who would much rather be on the 30s side than the 20s?
No you're not: At 30 the body is still here and you are -more or less- more comfortable financially to enjoy life. You are - again, more or less- more experienced and more prepared for more situations. That was a general statement of course, but I feel a lot of people can relate to this.

Eh. Anyone who is 30+ now didn’t have this meme (Netflix and chill) for most of their 20’s. In your 30’s you don’t have to hide the desire for sex so no point in saying Netflix and Chill when you really want sex. Also in your 30’s you probably live with your partner, watch the movie on smart TV, and have sex after.
Watching movies like that!? They should really have a flat-screen by their 30s..
Then there would nothing remain to do in their 40s.

Nothing has changed since my teens to my 30's. Both pictures still portray how life still is. It should always be both of those, if you're with the right person.
His head's gotten bigger... You'd think that age would temper the ego, even knowing that the chill will come after the movie.
This is too accurate hahahha, I used to love rollercoasters, the faster and crazier the better. Now I can feel nauseous even when riding an elevator
I would replace 30s with 40s. Then it will be more correct. 30 is still to young for this.
Agreed. It doesn't get easier, that's for sure. The aging process is fairly brutal, physically. Sixty is ok... It doesn't look as good as 30, but it's a better soul.

How am I 23 and most of these apply.. what am I going to be like when I'm actually that age.
For some people it works in reverse, so there's still hope. ^_-

I'm in my 40's and I feel like the person who wrote/drew this in his/her 30's is having a REALLY tough time of it..... I haven't seen half the c**p this poor artist is going through.... Either I am young at heart, or this poor sap gave up on life....
These were funny until I realized how accurate they are. Especially 10, 17, and 20.
For the first time in a while... I feel normal!! Thanks for reassuring me at the age of 36!!
Yeah it should continue the aging process to 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 100s, 110s, and 120s.
What a bunch of bs! You are saying people in their thirties are over the hill...wait till you hit 65 and then tell me about life!
This post makes the adult life look sad, when in reality it's not...isn't it?
mostly nonsense, perhaps it's me doing it all backwards here but i turned 35 a month ago and never felt wilder than this before this tbh
this may be somebody else's life, it's not mine.
At some point, you realize you aren't young any more but you're not old yet, either. That's been my 40s.
No, this is about not eating and exercising correctly. Healthy habits create healthy living except for things that cannot be controlled. My 68 year old grandfather is living proof of this. The man still builds houses for fun after retiring, racing desert motocross, and finishes as many Tough Mudder and Spartan runs that come to the PNW. Also, having a positive outlook can have an impact on day to day living, it is surprising how our body reacts to how we feel day to day.
Sorry for the author if his or her life in his/her thirties is (or was) as horrible as shown in these drawings. Or if he/she is afraid it will be like this (apparently in this case, there are some bad role models) in the thirties. I'm 35 and enjoying every second. Don't want to go back to being 20-sth, no way! Cheers to everyone who enjoys their thirties - off to get drunk, buy condoms, have sex, wake up to no hangover and go to work at the coffee shop!
I love all the subtle little differences in the characters and their surroundings.
I think that this is all wrong. I know people in their 40s and 50s that are still like the 20s. I know no one who is in their 30s and 40s that looks like these depictions. Not funny to ready and in my opinion, stupid.
I get the reference, but America's problems aren't the same. People who think these toons relate to them are because of life issues. America's issues have more to do with idiots running things and money winning over obvious logic. Hehe. If we used electronic voting to choose how laws went in to effect, instead of allowing nut jobs with greedy hands to vote on our laws, regulations and social programs.
