I’m 34 today - how was it for you?
- Thread starter shaneo632
- Start date
It was fine, nothing of note happened that year to be honest. I'm 38 now though so reaching the big 40.
Overall my 30's have been a pretty stable decade for me, and that is good enough for me.

I dreaded entering my 30s but overall they've been better than my 20s.
Alright. My birthday is two days before Christmas so I am used to it being not a focused on event. It just happens.
34 is when I finally took control of my life and doing things for myself and putting myself out there. Things have been great since.
33 sucked and involved a suicide attempt and a psychiatric stay.

34 was a height of pandemic year for me so it was pretty bad.
That said, outside of that particular year and maybe half of the early pandemic year, my 30's has generally been pretty good.

It was 14 years ago just as the banking crisis was kicking off and I had just committed to a massive expensive house that required a ton of work whilst balancing raising 4 year old twins. It was a tough time. But I was a lot happier than now.
30s is a really good time compared to my 20s. Not that I didn't have a mostly happy 20s, but I'm much happier with myself as a person now, I have more freedom in what I can do, and how I respond and process what happens to me is much better than in my 20s. I was already 34 and it was just fine.
Ah, 34... the time just before everything starts falling apart. I remember not having lower back pain! Barely. At least I still have a few non-grey hairs in my beard.
It was almost a full year after being diagnosed with cancer when I turned 34. Had two major surgeries to remove tumors. Still didn't have my abdominal reconstruction surgery yet (that would happen the following summer). Hopefully when I get my tests done next week and go to the doctor's the following week, I will be considered cured :).
34 was a good year.

Same, except it wasn't bad at all for me. Took a break from work during the pandemic/lock down, got back into wow and really enjoyed that, my business is picking up, landed my dream job. Life just keeps getting better.
30s wern't much different than my 20s, honestly, though when I was growing up I viewed 30-39 as "old" in a way, probably because that was my parents' age during that time. I still felt young/fine in my 30s.
I didn't really start feeling "old" until I hit 45. It's when I finally started noticing my mind and body starting to slip, but so far it's a very gradual decline.

My 30s have been really good tbh - hit lots of life and career milestones. Mid 30s I started being really careful with what i ate and how much I drank. I also quit smoking around this time. 30s are a great time to take stock and think about about the next 30.
Honestly as soon as I hit my 30s I really stopped caring what my age is. I'm closer to 40 now and I have to stop and think how old I am.
Today is our 2yrold's half birthday. Winter parties during covid is hard, we're celebrating w/ a semi fancy restaurant dinner.
I'll be 40 end of this month. I started my 30s doing a 600k bike ride and getting the fuck away from friends that'd pull me in to drinking parties and such for the occasion, not sure what I'm doing for the 40th though I'd love a few days to work on the damn yard in peace.

Good ol 34, when I was diagnosed with cancer and nearly died in the hospital. Not really my best year
I don't want to sound like a cliche but I didn't notice a real change until I turned 40. I have the aches and pains now. What I would give to be in my 30's again. I cant drink like I use to. The hangovers are just brutal if I ever let it get that far. Pizza gives me heartburn.
I can't remember a ton of specifics, but it was a good birthday. My parents were still living at their house, so we had a pool party.
The worst thing about that year was Hurricane Sandy, where we didn't have power for 11 days. I didn't work for almost a month because we were so devastated here at the Jersey Shore. That was a great ski year though, with a ton of powder days.

Fantastic!! I made some life changing decisions at 29 that paid off at 33-34. It was one of my best years and they keep getting better.
