I'd say I feel a lot more comfortable and less anxious as I enter my mid 30s which is nice. How was 34 for y'all?

I’m 34 today - how was it for you?
- Thread starter shaneo632
- Start date
Turned 34 in June, feels good. Uncertain about where my life is going but health wise I'm good, hairline intact and I don't look my age so I'll take it.
I look back on my mid-30s with fondness. Peak adulthood - when your maturity and youth are in equal flow. It's all downhill from there, midlife crisis and old age go into overdrive.
I'll let you know in *checks calendar* over a decade, if this site is still online by then
Hope you enjoy your 34th year on this rock.

34 years old was interesting for me because I was born 34 years after the "end" of World War II.
For a period of world history that felt so absolutely distant to me, it was weird how recent it now felt being alive longer than the time between my birth and the end.

9/1/2017 - 8/31/2018 : Got married to my future ex-wife, had an awesome honeymoon in the Dominican Republic, ended my previous job, "retired" for 4 months, moved to current city which is way better and more interesting than where I used to live.
Overall, a really good birth-year.

Oh true. Yeah me too. It was a 2020 Thursday. I was becoming a hermit. I was also just a few months into dating my now future wife though so I was feeling good about stuff, and I'd just graduated. It was probably a pretty good Thursday.
It was fun. Had a small gettogether with my wife and a few friends to get dinner and play a one-shot D&D campaign that I ran. It was also a couple months before the pandemic went into full swing and only noticing it being mentioned here and there in passing while online.
I remember being happy and that I was only just entering my mid 30s. This was also 2017 so we were at the start of the Trump shit show. Other than that it was just another birthday in adulthood.
At age 34 my life was really kicking into high gear. I had been married 4 years at that point with a second child on the way. Career was flourishing, money was flowing, my wife's career *really* took off as well. Everything was firing on all cylinders. I really loved the home we had back then too.
I had a very bad period of my life (mid 20s up to 33 or so) that was mainly associated with depression, anxiety and toxic relationships. As I reached 33 or 34, I started seeing things in a more positive way and started new relations and seeing myself as more of an individual. Even though my specific 34th year was a rollercoaster, it was certainly a worthy ride and I fell much stronger as a person now. Also having a better job position and a higher aquisitive power helps a lot on that. Now I'm 37 and I can say I also certainly became more confortable after that, even if I'm still really anxious.
I'm 35 now and going through a fairly tumultuous time in my life. Thinking about last year just reminds me of how much happier I was.
Its 34. It's not a milestone birthday. You'll forget it's even your birthday before the day is out.
Wait til you turn 40. That is the one you need to worry about.
-soon to be 41 year old next month

I stopped taking notice of birthdays after 26. That was 11 or so years ago.
My 30s have been fairly 'meh'.

40 ain't too bad. It's 39 that's bad. Cause that's all you'll think about that entire year. "I'm turning 40"
I'm 34, it's okay. I have to work less to gain weight, and work harder to lose it, which sucks. I'm a pretty active person, but I definitely notice that I'm just not as fast as I was in my 20s. And I know everyone should just wear what they like blah blah blah, but I find it difficult to be stylish in my 30s. A lot of the clothes I see on people that I think look nice, it's all people like 15 years younger than me wearing them lol. And I just feel like I'd be a try hard wearing the same outfit.
Best part of my 30s is finally having money to do shit, especially since I don't have kids. Worst part of my 30s is definitely noticing how old my parents are getting. Worst feeling in the world

Been 34 a about a year and it kinda sucked? Not the age itself, I actually feel pretty great since I stay active, while all my friends are already 'making a noise when they sit down' if you know what I mean.
But life at 34 for me ain't great financially. The UK is basically feeding itself to the wolves and we're rapidly going from barely getting by to ready for riots.
