I have been 30 for two months, so I can speak to this topic using experience, though limited. First of all, who gives a fuck how old you are? Is 28 different from 30? Is 36 different from 30? It isnt, so who cares. My balls have a few more wrinkles, but the junk works the same as always. I do not put pressure on myself to get married, have kids, or conform to other social norms, so if those things hinge on an age in your psyche, I do not share the concern. If my family ever pressured me to do so, I would punch them in the collective taints. I may be getting off topic with the taint punching, but I guess what I am getting at is this: everyone on this blog has a life that is enviable by the majority of the rest of the world, so we should all be grateful regardless of our age. For those of us without kids, be grateful that you don't have a money leach attached to your every financial decision for at least the next 18 years. For those of us with kids, be grateful that you get to watch them grow into a hateful teenager and then an ungrateful young adult soon thereafter. Relish the thought of them coming home after their first date smelling like MD 20/20 and Virginia Slims stolen from grandma. Off topic again, back to the point. Your age is what you make it? You are as young as you feel? I think all the cliches apply. I am going to shotgun a beer and take a rip from a water bong now.
