I haven’t hit 30 yet, I’m 24 years old but I still feel like I haven’t figured anything out at all. So far my 20’s have been very messy and I feel like I’m losing out/falling behind because others seem to have it figured out.
In my community people are getting married around this age, have finished school and are working. I don’t have any of that and I don’t know if I will for a while.
People keep saying it gets better and that its normal, is this true?

30s = 20s but with fewer hangovers and more “what am I doing?” vibes. Relax, you’re fine
once I hit 30 I stopped giving a shit about superficial shit and started caring about people and things that cared about me
I definitely feel like it.
in my 20s i was in the military for 10 years, i got married, i got divorced, i racked up 30k of CC debt. I messed up a lot and i learned a lot.
now im 33, 2 degrees, pulling in over 200k/year. don’t even ask me how it happened bc i dont really know.
but these last 2-3 years (literally military 20-30 yr old lol) have felt like almost a new lease on life. we are getting married this november, bought a house last year.
if i had any advice for you at 24, its just develop a solid 5 year plan on where you wanna go and what you wanna do and get after it. but also don’t forget to have some fun…youre only 24 once.
Pretty much
Your body is evolving atp
People say your 30s are the new 20s, and honestly, for a lot of us, it’s true! Your 30s often mean a bit more financial stability, maybe a clearer career path, and usually a lot more confidence in yourself. You’re not as worried about what everyone else is doing. That said, it’s not like you magically wake up at 30 with all the answers. You still figure stuff out, you still make mistakes, but you’re probably better equipped to handle them.
30s are kinda awesome
I’m 26 so a couple of years on you and feel the same. I know my 30s are there and I look forward to it as many way respite will come then. So I try to keep hope. Dw
Don’t assume that people in their 20s who are married/working have “figured it out”. Some? Sure! But plenty of them will get divorced, change careers, or be otherwise unhappy, and make changes in their 30s or later. And that’s OK too! Life’s always evolving. You don’t ever really get to a point where you sit back and go “life is now exactly where it needs to be” and you have zero challenges to deal with. Maybe retirement, but likely not even then. Everyone’s just following their own path. Comparison is the enemy of contentment.
