Things you want to do before turning 30?

[daviddaviddavid 776]

Ideally I'd like to be: working at a job I actually enjoy (but that still pays decently), an owner of an apartment or house, and married or at least engaged.

Well, I know it's not that big of a mile-stone as getting married or anything but I'd like to knit a blanket for my sofa before I turn 30...  Since I turn 29 next year, I think I'm going to make it my project of the year to knit a HUGE blanket for myself and maybe a smaller one for one of my cat's places that she likes to take a nap in when I don't have her favourite blanket out for the winter on the bed.  I was thinking a soft, purple one for her and a big red one for me.  Just need to get some proper knitting needles so I can make as many stitches as I need to for it(was thinking about doing 200-300 stitches for this big project), my project this year is a few scarves, working on my last one for the year for now.  For anyone who's interested in how I go with that, should I start posting blog posts or something on here to keep those interested in my progress up-to-date?

Another goal of mine before I turn 30 is to start really sewing again, my poor machine is just collecting dust and I'm not even using him these days.  I'd ultimately like to get into Bespoke Menswear and try making some interesting pieces, mostly for trans men or maybe non-binary folks who just want a good suit or something.  I know I'm not at that level yet but starting out small and making my own clothing at least would be awesome!!!  I'm kinda sick of wearing blue jeans and t-shirts all the time, I've been dressing this way for as long as I can remember and I'm sick of it.

The fact that I've lived this far is an accomplishment in-and-of-itself, I was very suicidal when I was younger and never thought I'd make it past 25 years old.  Here I am though, 28 years old!!   I think the best, main thing I could do for myself before 30 is making it to 30 in the first place.

Turn 29.  (post length)

[Sunlight Glisten 368]

Already hit 30. Some notable achievements were:

Got married

Had 3 kid

Graduated college

Left the country

Got a job with normal hours

Bought a house

Beat cancer (at the time it really did not look like I would make it to 30)

Went skydiving

I'm sure there are more but those come to mind. 

[Here No Longer 5,276]

I'm 22 as of now, but when I'm 30 I hope to:

• Be together (Can't exactly ask for "married" for a couple of reasons) with a man I love. Looking like I'm progressing on that rather well.  I just have a few things to do to carve my current boyfriend into the best man within logical reason.  Just adapt him to a more ehh, liberal, way of thinking about sexual relations (I mean he's already open to some things so that's a start) and make him a happier person and I pretty much have it.
• Be able to express my own personality in real life, with clothing choices and the etc. As of now, it's only marginally partially successful thanks to my lack of income.
• Leave this wretched state of Texas behind, for preferably my native Washington State, but plenty of other good states to live in like Iowa and Hawaii (though I can say there the cost of living is a bit high in general) will do. 
• Become somebody and make a real name for myself, whether through streaming games, creating my own, or something else like that (maybe even become a professional player). I don't mean famous, but I do mean somebody.

Well... In my dreams, I'd love to get my health back in order, go back to school, graduate, and find a partner before then.

 

However, I've given up on those (or I'm really trying to)... My only goal at this point is to finally learn tenor saxophone and oboe so when I die I can at least say I could play my three favorite instruments! lol

Well, hey, before thirty I did go back to school, graduate, and learn the oboe.

Sad thing is that I was in the perfect position to play tenor saxophone at college in marching band/pep band, but my health wouldn't allow it. =(

Hopefully at least be hired and flying for a regional airline . Also more near-term, have my own car and place (the latter can't happen until I'm at where I want to be at with my career). And then some.

I want to be a mom with armloads of kids. (Okay, I may not have time before I’m 30 for armloads, but I’d like to get a good start on the matter).  

[EpicEnergy 23,224]

I want to get married and finish college before I turn 30.

I had hoped to be in a wonderful relationship with a good job and a nice house/apartment by 30.

Im turning 28 in a few months so I only have two years to make that happen

[Splashee 28,566]

Sadly, it is too late for me to get anything before turning 30. That was 10 years ago.

[ExplosionMare 18,085]

I definitely wanna be moved out in my own place by then. Would be pretty weird if I lived with my parents til I was 30.

Oh gosh well this clearly won't be happening.... no way it'll happen in less than 2 years.... oh well.

I am currently 36 years old, but I did manage to go back to college and attain a degree and get out of a toxic work environment before I turned 30. Granted, like many college graduates nowadays, I am not working in my field of study (the job market for skilled labor is oversaturated, and I found that I can make a lot more doing basic building maintenance/handyman work than I could make as an HVAC service technician; it didn't take long for me to quit my trade due to low pay and unstable hours), but I suppose I got somewhat lucky in that the degree made me a bit more "marketable".

“Hey 2022 TBD how’s the 30s going for you?”

“Still same o shit TBD 2019.”

Get married, own my own house, write a book, be rich, be in a band.

*checks my birth year*

Aww crap.

[Jackleberry 1,923]

Make a friend, and keep them forever by any means necessary.

Still got 5 years left in me, plenty of time to make something happen provided the authorities don't get me first.

[Dreambiscuit 10,091]

I’m 31 so that leaves me out of this. But I'm happy that I accomplished what I mentioned in my previous post here.

[ZiggWheelsManning 10,926]

8 years too late and I stopped at the wrong thread  

[BritishBrony2012 823]

This may be off topic but I wan to say my say I'm now 28, I do what I like. I know I do adults stuff like work and money but still do thing that I do before 30.

[Treeglow Flicker 13,847]

Smashed through that particular gate almost a decade ago.

Still plenty more years after you pass the 30 milestone to get things done though.
