What are your 30s like, /biz? I am 26 and have been hit by the quarter life crisis/mid 20s blues. I feel like the really fun years are behind me. I've been pretty good about saving and trying to establish a solid nest egg, in the hopes that what they say about the 30s being your 20s but with more money is true. If you are single and have money, is it truly better than the previous decade? Or is it only better if you are married and have kids? How do I tell which of the two paths is a meme and what is reality?

you have more wealth
you screw less
you have way more knowledge than your 20s if youre not retarded
Brody Butler
Nah man.
30s you get closer to death every year and that requires some thinking yes.
But there's perks.
You're usually more settled financially and career wise.
You are more attractive to most women.
Your wisdom gives ongoing interests.
And so forth.

30s > 20s so far desu

33 here, same as 20's, except I have less friends, look older, am more out of shape, still just as poor (atleast living alone though), slightly balding but I can cover it up well enough still, and every little health problem now scares me to death.
Spend the rest of your 20's building up your wealth and getting into shape. By the time you hit 30 you should be well off financially, well built, and then you can go out and try to find a girl 5-10 years younger than you to snatch up as a long term prospect (provided you still look good and have most of your hair. If not, well good thing you spent that time building wealth so you can get a hair transplant.)
With that said, I'm not a lost cause. I've spent the last 7 months (when I turned 33) working hard on improving myself and getting shit done, and I should be a fairly competent person by the time I hit 34 in a few months. but I had to work HARD, and I had to sacrifice doing everything that I enjoy because I fucked up so bad doing nothing for years and years. Luckily I still look young so im hoping to start dating some early 20's girls soon.

to answer your question only you know the answer but having a family secures your future IMO because of the structure thats formed to preserve wealth. children are cheap labor and they take care of you at end of life. wife provides stability and prevents your from squandering money on randoms, and if you pick the right one will empower you
Ian Watson
if nothing else getting married allows you to cut your rent and utility bills in half, f**k being single forever
William Garcia
hair transplant legit costs 5k how is that even an investment nigga just work for a month

30s has been way better than 20s but then again I hold LINK now so I actually have hope for the future.

I was a drug addict for most of my twenties and now that I'm sober I've actually been excelling. It is motivation to work hard when the highlight of your week isn't Friday night getting drunk and doing blow. The highlight of my week is executing projects that coworkers 10 years older than me couldn't pull off.
Tbh I outgrew my social life, which was hard at first but now I like it. My friends were all fucking losers who accomplish nothing and when I tried to talk to them about investing They would literally get scared.

Same. When I tell people what UND is about to do they get scared. Hard to blame them since literally everything is denominated in USD these days.

Tell me about it. Trying to finish a ChemE PhD. when this shutdown hit, so that's pushed back toward the end of the calendar year. No idea what to do with that degree since academia is a dumpster fire. And if the doom-sayers are even close to right, we're staring down the barrel of 1929 right now. Not the best job market in a year or two. I've got a paid-off car, about $3600 in PMs salted away, 1k in an emergency account, and I can pocket about 500-700 a month. At least I have no debt and I'm not fat.
I'm starting to realize that my parents probably never understood what they were doing economically, and somehow just avoiding getting punished for it by luck. Like, you have 3 of your kids out of the house for 2 years, and yet you didn't finish paying off your mortgage with your saved money, but found the money to trade out your old vehicles and take on 2 new car payments.
I've noticed that all my work friends (I.E. other STEM grad students) came from upper middle to upper class backgrounds, and so did most of their parents. It's starting to come together why the middle class is disappearing; its just bifurcating.

21 with 32k invested was more than that before Rona.
Am I on the right path I work 12 hours a day 7 days a week without a social life. I’m extremely miserable but I promise myself financial freedom by 28.
Am i doing ok anons
Benjamin Wood
you need to get wife & coom fren
Jose Lewis
You are broke but you bought silver lmao you aren't any smarter than them retard
Evan Cook
if you find a compatible girl getting married and having kids is way better
I am late 30's and degenerate and I have gotten some pretty good fucks, even recently - but it is hell to constantly get to know boring women so you might sleep with them
Also huge chance of crazies if they are in their 30's or if they are in their 20's but willing to fuck a late 30's
Carson Ross
I remember how ancient I thought a 30 yo was when I was 26. lol
>If you are single and have money, is it truly better than the previous decade?
Yes
>Or is it only better if you are married and have kids?
Its like anything else, it depends
>How do I tell which of the two paths is a meme and what is reality?
The truth is you don't actually know if you have choices. The way you use words, sloppy, reveals a lot. Go to school, you are dunning-kreuger material.
Wyatt Reed
Good shit user. 23 here but seeing that fiery drive makes me believe you'll kill it
Kayden Butler
>I feel like the really fun years are behind me
i got like this at 20-21
Anthony Kelly
Yea man, but try and enjoy some of your youth. Stability is great but you can't buy back time. Get laid and have some fun along they way.
Owen Kelly
If you’ve played your cards right the best part of being in your thirties is you don’t have to deal with anyone you don’t want to deal with. Everyone else you grew up with is doing their own shit by now, families, meme careers, etc. You have a few close friends that you can see once a week and that’s it. Zero bullshit social obligations. Zero societal pressures. You’re not competing with some other mid twenties faggot. You don’t have to answer to some fucking faggot boss or coworker. It’s incredibly based but again you have to sacrifice a lot of your twenties to reach this stage and also make calculative decisions to set yourself up for it socially as well as financially. LINK will be the icing on the cake for me.
Charles White
I'm only 19yo and I know this feel. I'm currently having my one fifth life crisis because SWtCW just ended and I feel fucking weird. It doesn't get better, does it?
Mason Williams
Have more fun bro. Don't waste your youth on the retarded "WORK 24/7 365 IF YOU EVER WANT TO SUCCEED" mindset. Good job though, and remember that it isn't a loss untill you sell. I hope you have only put more in the market since the crash.
Carter Scott
26-30 is when I got the most pussy. Like new girl every week on average. Take advantage. You will not get an opportunity like it again.
Caleb Cook
>you screw less
dear god please don't be true
Lucas Russell
Why do you retards always assume that there's some sort of archetypical thing that happens to you according to your age. That your "thirties" have x and x happen.
Brandon Scott
just normie things
