Many people in their 20s dread finishing their third decade of life, but is being in your thirties really so bad? You’ve likely landed a stable job at that point, and you might have some decent savings. Plus, your body is still in excellent shape. No back pain yet! …Right?

So below, we’ve gathered some of the most painfully relatable pics from Thirty Something Probs on Instagram that speak to the unique experience of being between your twenties and forties. Be sure to upvote the pics you can’t help but agree with if you’re a millennial who's tired of adulting, and remember that you’re not alone in having these issues!

As bad as it can be, I can now buy anything I wanted to buy before without my mom telling me no. I can go out and be out as late as I want. Watch TV as long as I want. Be on the computer as long as I want. Eat what I want and not have to ask permission to bring guests over. Work can suck. So can school. At least I have no homework and if I'm getting mistreated I can quit. Can't do that when you're enrolled in school. I just don't find it that bad, imho.
That's probably the best way to really see how someone lives and takes care of things.
Last week I paused while working and asked myself "What am I doing this for?" after realizing everyone is scoping me out and monitoring me, co-workers included. No longer enjoy nor feel welcome there.
Yup! I am still baffled every day how at my age my parents had three children, owned a home, and a SHM who could afford to smoke like she was on fire, all with zero debt. I'm almost 40, no kids, no house, and suddenly in a fúck ton of debt simply to afford two vet appointments.
it just feels so much less wasteful this way since the food is bad already right??
I wonder if Gen Z will start putting carpet over all of our hard won wooden floors again in the future
I do this more and more often. I'll put something away, then spend so long looking for it I become convinced I must have thrown it away. It's always a nice little surprise when I find it six months later - like a little gift "past me" gives to "future me". *opens drawer* "Sweet! I could use a set of pliers like these!"
funny thing is i never had a bedtime but i still go to bed earlier than the rest of my family (who did have bedtimes)
I hate meal planning and not too eager to cook. I'm hungry when I get home. I just want to eat. That's what's keeping me broke, too. Spending any extra money I have on takeaway and restaurants because I can't be arsed to cook. And I regret nothing.
I was taking melatonin for a few nights. The first night slept like a dream. The second night started getting some f****d up nightmares. The third night I was having a hard time staying asleep and getting up. During the day I was getting tense and snappy. By the end of the week I was shouting on the phone at people and inconsolably upset for no real reason. Did some research and you're not supposed to take melatonin every night because it does all that to you.
That's me, only I'm always too hungry to think straight, except when eating. No, I don't eat too little, I'm just breastfeeding a greedy dino chick and all the calories just go straight into it's hungry beak.
Or look at the clock assuming lunch is soon...it's currently 10o'clock
Me literally right now in bed, with dog laying next my left hip and kitty in between my knees….help me
text messages all the way, phone calls are scary :(
*sobs* I’M NOT SUPPOSED TO RELATE TO THIS YET I’M NOT EVEN 18 YET
I set 4 alarms, the first three are to assure myself I can go back to sleep and the fourth is…well, torture (I’m not kidding I actually do this)
Had several heavy arguments with wife about 'walking' holidays back in the day. I worked in a factory where I walked maybe twenty miles a day! My holiday will involve much and only sitting down, thank you very much.
I've always been jealous of the Golden Girls. Knowing I could get up at seemingly any time of night to find two or three of my best friends eating cheesecake and ready to discuss whatever is keeping me awake...that's good living!
Pro tip: Someone is always giving away a sink on FB Marketplace. Get it, and take it to bed with you. None of us are in a position to judge you!
The young people at my work speak a totally different language and I never know who these celebrities are they are discussing. They also tend to overuse words like "incredible" "amazing" and "goddess" to the point of absurdity. I have decided I only appreciate negative hyperbole and especially in the form of complaints.
Wow! I was only a peasant and hunter gatherer before that, no fancy aristocrat
A couple of weeks ago I pulled into my driveway around 9:30 at night and decided to finish the last four minutes of a podcast I was listening to. I woke up just after five in the morning, still buckled in. The saddest part is it was the best night of sleep I've had in months.
Oh lord - I still call it that at my parents' house! In my defense it DOES have a computer in it. :)
No, my average German high school didn't have any sports teams. It's probably because they don't need to make their own money to fund themselves or something
I'm so Gen-X that I think, "This idiot's parents got so drunk they named her 'Kimberliegh.'"
Whoever does the above is straight on their way to burnout. Or has an eating disorder and is on the way to burning out. Might be skewed by my time working in psychiatry, but well...
I remember back when my wife and I slept every night with our limbs intertwined like one of those rope puzzles you see at gift shops. Now it's like, "You breathed on me around two in the morning and I couldn't get back to sleep and now I can't stand up straight."
And your coworkers hating you because you do this to them. They just wanted to come to work but instead you're selfish àss is dragging them down because you choose to spend your money on stupid shít rather than therapy.
That's why I don't eat salads and don't go on walks. Be smart, guys and gals. (/j obviously)
it does do weird things with reflections or something though
I refuse to drink on school nights - luckily my last school night was over 30 years ago. 🤭
I can't upvote this enough. I used to despise my wife's work stories, but she broke me and now I'm invested. I'll be like "(Wife) should be home soon - I should make some popcorn. Today is when we find out if Bob and Michelle got pregnant and if Sue got that promotion!"
I’m an Xennial I learned. Born late 1979. So I guess sharing some gen z and some millennial and that is accurate
I worked with a woman in 2002 and I still sometimes think about the fact that she and her husband had s3x while she was in labor with their twins
I have all 3, but last one for my senior dog, it’s actually separation anxiety, we can’t do s**t or go anywhere
Damn - I just did that last weekend. Well, I guess I could do it again this weekend...
I temporarily forgot Laffy Taffy was a song and thought someone was downloading candy, and then got jealous that teenaged me missed Wonka's television snacks coming into the 21st century.
You’re out….from under the covers at least- an accomplishment!
There should be a slide button option for this trouble: greasy finger recognition on or off or caked in makeup facial recognition on or off.
GenX here, and we've felt this for a looooong time.... Retirement? LOL. With comfort? LOL. Survival? Maybe. Don't assume being born before 1980 saves someone from the clusterf*ck of the world.
Yeah, it's pretty obvious whomever wrote this is a kid by the title alone.
Load More Replies...All these kids here like "omg, I'm only 14 and I can totally relate to this..." 😑🤦🏻♀️
