Differences Between Your 20s and 30s

Some people dread the day that they turn 30. Your 20s may be hard, but being in your 30s is a whole new world of challenges and struggles. By this time, you are expected to have achieved more or settled down. There are significant changes from one era to another, and the transition has many lessons and realizations. 
​
Here are some of the substantial changes that you might witness:

More Pressure to Compete and Succeed
Your 20s can be your rehearsals for the 30s. In your 30s, people expect milestones. There are times when you fail to achieve something that you would feel inadequate. Moreover, you feel the pressure from your colleagues' achievements. 

If You Are a Woman, Your Age is Suddenly a Big Thing
Once a woman hits her 30s, situations, and things change. Hangovers tend to run you more. If you are still single, people would tell you that your clock is ticking. Some would even ask you to freeze your eggs before their health subsides. 

Self-Indulgence Replaced by Self-Awareness
You might have spent your 20s giving in to your wants and whims. You traveled with no budget set, you spent time and money in expensive restaurants with average food, and spent way too much on shoes and bags. Despite having all that you wanted, you seem to forget what is needed.  

What comes with age and experience is self-experience, and would transform your life. This awareness would help you determine what is essential. You would also notice that what you need is sometimes far from what you wanted. Attaining self-awareness makes you more relaxed yet confident. 
      
The Realization that Everyone is Going Through Something Different
Contemporary things flood the 20s. Everyone was a fresh graduate. You talk about the people you dated in college, how the new work is, or how it is to start being adults. In your 30s, you have less common identifiers with your peers. In reality, the only thing you share is age.  

It may be disorienting as you are no longer in a tighter bond with some people, but sooner, there will be peace in knowing that everyone's stage in life is different from yours. Real relationships are forged by time, emotions, intellectual, and moral compatibility.  Your 20s will prepare you for the harshest environment that your 30s will present to you.

The sooner you realize that you will not forever be 20, the sooner you can accept the challenges of being 30. Adulthood starts at 30, and although the changes come rushing in, you'll get through it. Preparing for this and ensuring a secure life may be one of the things you might want to consider now.
