Henry Heimlich presented his famous maneuver when he was 54. Sir Francis Chichester was 65 when he sailed solo around the world. You're never too old to achieve greatness but there are some things you just have to complete in time. Twitter users are posting what they think everyone should accomplish before turning 35, and it hilariously describes what today's average adult is like.
It all started when MarketWatch published an article, saying by that age you should already have saved two times your salary. People instantly called it a stupid milestone and started providing their own alternatives. From properly setting up your kitchen to the contents of your hard drive, want to know how close you are to a proper grown-up? Scroll down and these tweets will help you get there. Oh, and vote for your favorites! (Cover Image: tiffany terry)

I will help :) P.S. they don't have to even be tupperware. All plastics will work ;)

In my house we avoid opening the cabinet, this prevents the tsunami of plastic ending up all over the floor
I've achieved this at 25 already... Looks like I'm doing SOMETHiNG right in my life!
i did, but then i realized my southern roots & started saving plastic containers that i'd already paid for and emptied of their original content. unlike my mother, though, it's not a treasure hunt whenever i want to find something because i also remove the original labeling (acetone). saving a little bit of money AND cutting down on my use of plastics!
I did that by age 25... I’ve been selling Tupperware since I was 22! Have made over $85,000 in extra cash for trips and I’ve been spoiling myself ever since. (But mine all match and don’t fall out of the cabinet when I open the doors. LOL
And now I have a garage and second bedroom full of NOS Tupperware inventory to sell.

Every missing sock somehow magically turns into top of containers that doesnt match to bottom
just throw a random bottom and lid into the cabinet and close the door. they reproduce on their own - like left socks.
I am 73 and I also have a cabinet filled with lids, bottom and yes they all fall down when I open the door. Just too lazy to sort them.
Haha! This one really makes me laugh! That’s exactly sounds like me🤙😆❤️😀
So nailed this one! I f**king hate the drawer in question. But I have it!
Ah yes. I am 35 and I definitely have them. Amusingly, I spent around two hours earlier this week putting them all in order...
I have also achieved this before age 35, I'm getting a head start...
I realized it one day replying to one of comments on Bored Panda articles - I Started writing - Do you know in our days, we were used to be so different. And there is struck me like a truck, that I am old.
Just few weeks back I discarded a huge box will of cables, now since last 2 days I am searching a cable to extend by vacuum. Life Choices eh?
In my state disposable plastic bags have been banned, so everyone has reusable canvas ones. Naturally our canvas bags contain other canvas bags...
Yesterday, I Slept till 1 PM, had breakfast, felt tired, went to bed again at 2pm and slept till 5.30 PM, took a 5 min walk, had a piizza, felt tired again went to bed at 7 PM and slept till 6 AM today. I am still feeling tired.
I have backups of things which I don't know. And I don't have backups of things which I really should have.
Yeah, I moved 1000 km at 36. The Great Friend Purging. But online introverts get me. ;-)
This is the corollary to the 'back-ups of previous hard drives' item...
Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
Or you can wait until you're old. It automatically comes with the territory.
Got that! But they're all stacked on a wall in a room, we call it the den, but really it's the library of unread books that we plan to read one day... so we just go in there and admire them all up on their shelves calling to us, but not loud enough that we can actually hear them. And that's why they stay up there on the shelf.
35 was actually the moment I started to have no f*ck to give anymore... So I guess it's a key moment indeed !
Yeah, tick. Same thing applies to all those bookmarks I will need some day...
I don't have even one. I am too old fashioned I guess to be surrounded by books(hard covers)(not e-book).
or at 2 am to the gynecologist emergency by ambulance car with period cramps...
Wait are you paying for the doll with the child or is the doll for the child?
By age 35 you should be to old to bet your well being on something like a bit coin.
The rate the retirement age keeps going up you could be a girl at 45!
I’m 35 and my interpretation of quantum mechanics is that one time Scott Bakula fixed my car
But I can't be bothered and there are other people or organisations who have already done all the hard work.
By the age of 35, you should have at least 5 pairs of underwear without holes, and the elastic still keeps them up. I'm 37, and I hope to accomplish my 34 yr old goals soon.
I'm 25 and I always calculate my age whenever I have forms to fill or when someone asks me. HAHAHA
Time is flying fast... So, when I was about to turn 30, I decided to do a little "something" so I can feel better about it. If we take Honoré De Balzac's word, a woman blooms truly at 30. So I let myself have that "glorious year of being a specially bloomed flower". After that, I started counting backwards, each birthday. This year I am about to turn 35, but the truth is, I am actually turning 25. Ha! Take that, life, take that time! Today I drank so much coffee, I didn't even need an afternoon nap!
Truly truly you made me feel much better, I've been trying to figure out how I am going to deal with turning 30 that seems to he looming closer as I type... I should send your flowers at the very least.

I turned 45 this past year. I can confidently say that by 45 you're ready to start wishing you could go back to 35, in some ways.....and knowing you'd never want to go back, in others.
by the age of 35, you should have destroyed Voldemort, and graduated Hogwarts.
When I was a kid I thought 30 was middle aged until my aunt asked me if I expected to die at 60. So yeah :)
By age 50 you should have so much c**p hanging in your closet that you hurt your fingers trying to cram one more thing onto that rod.
