There is some magic voodoo when you're turning 30.
It's like a sprinkle of fairy dust that turns a frog into a prince, the wand that the fairy god mother touched ever so gently on Cinderellas head for her to turn into glamorous, elegant woman. You become better. Not exactly physical but mentally. Your standards would go a level higher, up to the level that says no more bullshit kiddo, it's time to get your act together. Because truthfully there's this stigma for people in their 20's. They are in a phase where they are trying to find themselves. So you have an excused to "get lost". You can choose to be selfish, and squander your hard earned money in casinos, or take expensive travels to somewhere far or even near, to buy yourself that bulgari watch just because you want to be a hot shot. Yes you're 20-something, you're still trying to find yourself and so we understand that you jump from one work to another, sometimes it has something to do with the degree you got in college sometimes it's completely unrelated. Who cares you're still in our 20's. It's ok.
But come the time that you're 30. There's really no excuse for that anymore, either from the society or yourself.
The pressure is on.
Some things that you have allowed yourself to do will no longer be acceptable. And you see no wonder many millionaires now have gotten their breakthroughs in their 30's. Gone are the days spent living in the I-don't-know-and-it's-ok phase. People by this age are into the I-don't-know-so-go-try-figure-it-out-quickly-or else-you're-screwed phase. And if they are still not, then they should be. They are forced to think seriously in all facets in life, all the way from health, financial down to relationships.

So as I am nearing this age, I am at contemplating if I am going to spend the remaining months doing some hipster bohemian lifestyle. Live somewhere far and do some artsy fartsy activities. Write a book. A sort of culmination of the careless 20's that was and a celebration of the serious 30's that is ahead.
