What is it like to be in your early 30s?
Is there any difference between being in your mid-20s and early 30s?

No not really. Stuff doesn't really change until you turn 40. That's when the hellride begins.

Traditionally your life should be a lot more stable I.e. marriage, have a house or move out, steady income and career. However circumstances vary depending on each individual.

I'm past that age, but you feel older, less attractive, and you keep thinking about all your mistakes in the past. And you're more concerned about your health then you were before. It's like you're not old enough to be considered 'old', but you're too old to be considered 'young'. It's a strange period for most.

Just eat babies like Tom Cruise and stay young forever.

Guess I'm privileged, my hellride started around 12.

Respect. I hope things are better for you now.

The light starts beeping in your hand at 30 to let you know that your time is up. Then the Sandmen come for you. You either go with the peaceably...or you RUN.
You're at the age where you're too old to say you're young anymore.

I don't remember any difference, but then, I wasn't doing anything important at the time. Maybe I would have noticed more if had married earlier or something, but at least for me, my 30's were just another set of 20's. Even my 40's seem like they might, though I can feel a couple of rivets coming loose.

In some ways, it's great. For example, you realize that so many things you used to worry and stress and get upset about in your 20s don't even matter.

On the other hand, it can be not so great. You start to feel like you're getting older. When I was younger I would dismiss it when older people would say things like "I can feel my age," but wow do I get it now, aging is absolutely something you can feel and that feeling generally starts to hit hard in your early - mid 30s. More (and more frequent) aches & pains. Activities and dealing with people and etc. become a little more strenuous and more of a hassle.

Like another user mentioned, your health/healthcare starts to become really important.

Generally speaking, by your early - mid 30s, you've acquired a vast array of bills & responsibilities & obligations, which are virtually always a drain on your bank account, time, energy, and physiological & psychological wellbeing. Also, If you haven't already, you'll probably experience your first shart around this age.

Ultimately though your 30s are what you make of it and how you've spent your time leading up to it. If you've been good to yourself and taken care of yourself and you're at least somewhat established, making at least a somewhat decent income, you'll go into your 30s in a far better position than many others who are the same age as you.

The difference is mental.

However the number is linear and limited. Human minds are much the same. AN increasing number therefore helps a lot of people get motivated . Or vice versa: give up.

The choice is yours and entirely mental.

As someone in their mid 30s, I can confidently assure you that the difference is not "entirely mental" as you rather naively claim. The physical effects of aging are very real and the early - mid 30s is the age that people generally begin to feel these effects.
