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?

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

[Anonymous No.18874636]

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

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.

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.

I'm 25 and I feel like my life is starting to come together, just. I spent 17-24 chasing girls, smoking weed and just doing whatever I felt like. As a result I wasted all of my savings which could have got me on the housing ladder and I didn't learn anything or get a worthwhile degree. That said, you are only young once and I do not envy my junior doctor friends who have spent their entire 20s studying and being stressed and never having fun - all so they can be rich once the prime years are over.
I stopped fucking random arthoes and got engaged to a Salvadorian girl. She is far richer and more intelligent than me but for some reason loves me which is my sole motivation for not becoming a degenerate. She's going to buy us a house soon and we'll get a dog and become boring boomers. I always said I'd never settle down but once you get past the college years the reality sets in. Do you really want to be chasing pussy in your 30s? Getting wingmanned in bars? Sure, I could have wrung another decade out screwing freshers and role playing as a student but I think most people who live like that aren't happy. I'm getting into 'boring' shit like gardening, DIY, painting and learning a second language. I still play vidya and shitpost here but I am definitely shifting interests.

I had same feeling mid 20s, and ended up joining the military (a fucking disastrous choice). Now mid 30s and absolutely miserable and behind on all life milestones.

Mid 20s is last time you're still in age bracket you can get a potential waifu who isn't 100% roasted - take advantage of that.

Also mid 20s is when you first start noticing physical decline - nothing major but hangovers last longer, strenuous exercise/injuries take longer to recover from, weight loss takes longer etc - so start taking your diet and physique seriously or you'll blink and before you know it you're a mess in your 30s.

I'm 36, I've been married for 10 years now. If you think it's bad now I'll just go ahead and let you know it just gets worse. Sure, I have a little more money, my wife has a good career, but not much more. Still can't really afford a house. I have a 6 month old boy who shits and cries all day. My early 30s weren't so bad. But it's really hit me the past couple years, the fact that it's over. My life is just working as much as possible, working around the house, changing diapers, looking at my bank accounts and charts and wishing I had some more money, and taking care of two emotionally needy people. There is no excitement. The only thing to look forward to a retirement and social security that probably won't be there

[Anonymous No.18880132]

In 20s if you are not neet as a male you probably think you will own the world. Then you run into all kind of wrong people, then you gain all kind of experiences. Then you turn 30 - 35 and you know the world - how the people function, how the world functions. You are becoming aware who to stay away from. And you lay low and do your thing. Then you start to understand that when someone underestimates you it is your strength not weakness. You stop trying to prove yourself to the people, just keep doing your thing and that is where the improvement starts. And then you understand it all.

I must confess I got suckered in by this book https://www.amazon.com/Buy-Side-Street-Traders-Spectacular/dp/0770437176.. All the drugs, hookers and money seemed like fun. Then in the end of real experience I understood that the hookers and "high end drugs" are the only thing that kept guys like that writer sane, the stress is just so high. Competitive finance is good learning ground. And you learn a lot there. But I'd say the experience was painful for me. Going home in the evening and feeling zero emotions was a new thing for me - feeling exactly like the guy in American Psycho.

There are pros and cons. Statistically, 33 is most people's happiest year because you are more settled in your family and career, while your body hasn't gone to shit yet.

Pros: know more shit, less insecure, have the capacity to enjoy the finer things in life.

Cons: body starts falling apart--can't really play sports anymore. Dating is a lot harder or non-existent. Dreams you had as a kid/teen are dead.

As long as you have a source of income and plans in place to start a family, you'll be fine.

Graduating college in a week with my EE degree and will be legally married as of Dec 31, 2020 so I can get that tax benefit for 2020. GF of ~4.5 years will be going to law school for the next 3 years next to where my job out of college is located. Getting married changes my highest tax bracket from 22% -> 12% and my standard deduction is doubled, aka I'm getting an extra $7k a year in post tax money. Plan on legally being married low key for the taxes and then getting married "officially" at a later point in time so people our age will have time to get established/make money and can afford to travel to a nice venue.

All these anti-marriage anons act like there's a 99.999% of divorce. Both my GF and I grew up with divorced parents and we started dating through highschool and have successfully dated all through college and lived together for 2 years plus without any major problems. Most adults get married at like a 2 year mark with their gf and have been living together for less, or not at all. I am willing to bet big money my relationship pans out.

At 26 I invested 1.5 years and drained my savings to do a startup with a friend. It was moderately successful but ultimately didn't go anywhere. I was broke and moved back in with my parents at 27. I felt hopeless and lost. Total quarterlife crisis.

I found a job shortly after which yielded great experience but didn't pay well, and involved a lot of exhausting travel and brutal projects. I turned 30 fat, depressed, and jaded. I was also living with my parents again (although this time just for convenience, since I was living in paid-for digs in another city while on a long project, and leasing a new apartment in a month.) It felt pretty shitty.

I really wanted to change and I started by switching to self-employment, which paid very well, and gave me freedom to work on projects I wanted. I also cut about 30lbs through fasting (7-10 days) which fixed my metabolism, and then eating clean and working out.

I built up my client base in my expensive coastal city, then relocated to Texas, which is incredibly cheap and has an amazing quality of life. I am now happier than I have ever been. I'm making great money, keeping spending low, saving up for a down payment on a house, spend basically every day outside doing some form of activity. I work 100% remotely aside from flying out for meetings, which are now all zoom calls anyway. The lockdown barely affected me, I didn't even have to switch BBQ spots since my local joint kept running throughout the whole thing.

I currently live in a city, but am going to buy a house in a small town and spend the next chapter of my life establishing roots and becoming part of a community. I think the anomie and alienation of cities is terrible for mental health.

30s are only good if you have grown as a person. A lot of my friends do the same shit we did at 18, hang out smoking weed and drinking. That's the highlight of their week. Work comes and goes, money comes, bills come, money goes, and they are static in their position. They prioritize having fun over hard work and achievement. You might think fun is the most important thing in life (and it is important) but if you're acting like a teenager as a man in his 30s you aren't actually having that much fun. The thrill of doing drugs or chasing girls is gone. You just do it because that's all you know how to do while most of your peers have moved on. Buying your first house is also fun, and they don't have that option. Making the house better than when you bought it is fun, they don't have that option. Yardwork to them is a chore that benefits their landlord. Yardwork to me is something that makes MY house a shining beacon of my accomplishments. They are still giving their money to someone else, taking orders from someone else at work, while I'm giving orders and leading my own projects. My paychecks are going towards building equity in my house. My week nights are spent planning my next move once I have more money built up. Vacation home that produces income when I rent it out? Maybe. Maybe I'll just dump the money in stocks and buy an even bigger vacation home in 5 years that I don't need to rent out for side income. Do you think my teenage brain 30 year old friends have a five year plan? They float through life thinking one day they'll get a lucky break. Hint: there is no lucky break, only hard work and perseverance.
That was long winded but the point is your 30s are what you make of it. You can see evidence in this thread. Some guys act a decade older than their 20s, some guys are sad the same shit isn't fun anymore and their body is a little bit more sore. Here's another piece of advice: excercise you fat fucks. Men can be pro athletes into their 40s so exercise

It's of course not all golden. I have less energy than I used to. Hair is thinning (although Nutrafol has helped a lot). Joint pain and posture issues from too much sitting, despite doing lots of corrective stretching and yoga.

Also, I'm finding it hard to meet good women. I have gone on a lot of dates through social circles, dating apps etc., but single women in their late 20s/early 30's who are single, want to have kids, and aren't unstable, incredibly cynical and/or financially broken, are VERY hard to find in my experience.

I don't know what to do, i worked all my 20's. I'm 32 now. I own a house, no mortgage, i've got some dollars aside. No girlfriend, no kids, no work for now. Should i just take a year off and travel the world?

Quit your job and pick up the pieces once you come back from the vacation where you still have no gf? No. The job and working aren't why you don't have a girl. The job isn't holding you back from doing cool shit. Use your vacation to go somewhere fun for a week and use the other week to give yourself long weekends to do cool shit throughout the year. Careers are about momentum and no one wants to work with a guy who's tired, wants to quit, and run away. Stop coasting.

Cost of living in Eastern Europe is extremely low compared to meme European tourist destinations (UK, Germany, Italy etc.)

You can take the road less traveled and explore smaller towns and villages, staying at comfy little inns and eating very well for very little money in comparison to other places. Check out bald and bankrupt on YT.

You just have naturally low brain activity, and probably live in an unhealthy way.

Do you drink coffee or take any stimulants already? Do you exercise?

If no to the first, eat some steak and eggs with strong coffee and literally just walk around outside in the sun. The food is for neurotransmitter precursors, the coffee and sun provide the actual stimulation.

If you don't exercise your brain doesn't get good blood flow, and slowly breaks down (look up BDNF and exercise).

It took me way too long to figure out this sort of thing. Don't make my mistakes, if you are healthy you are happy.

Also try not cooming for a week, see the results. One week that's it, worst case you just nut big at the end. Trust your fellow anon

Lmao. Keep in mind that 99% of people are lurkers on 4chan. The 1% that post are those with confidence boosted. I.e. those who are most likely to be experiencing success right now. You have the power too, somewhere in a deep past your great great great grandma was raped by the alpha Lord of the manor. It just take the right situation for your tribal leader genes to express.

secret advice:
start taking testosterone the moment you hit 30. 250-500mg test-e per week.

you'll have more energy than teenagers and actually have motivation to do shit. your body is done developing and it's all downhill from 30, so dump some nitro fuel in your ass cheeks and start winning again.

I make $78k starting and all I have is an engineering degree from a state school

[Anonymous No.18891057]

>>18890945
I'm literally one week a way from my EE degree from a meme-tier state school. I am starting as intern with this company then moving to full time pay afterwards once I do well and my starting salary will be ~$75k. I got a full time offer from Western Digital for $75k + $3k signing bonus which is the same starting salary as you. I'm taking this intern gig because it's closer to where my gf is going to law school but I'm not worried about being converted full time. State school engineering degrees are pretty comfy

>tfw have long hair, deep norwood pattern and don't care because I have an great gf who doesn't give a fuck
>tfw my hairline makes men who are coping with myriad of drugs and transplants cringe and retract into their own complex
>my hairline actually scares copers

It feels amazing desu. The chad embrace is true, OH NO SECONDARY MALE PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS??? A TRAIT EXCLUSIVE ALMOST TO REAL MEN? OF FUCK!

Only PUSSIES allow themselves to think like that. Try not giving a fuck sometimes and you will realize how wet it makes women. What's next for metrosexual "men", fear of facial hair? PATHETIC.
