Robin Madell is an award-winning journalist who founded the Life After 30 Salon and facilitated it for a decade in New York and San Francisco to help 30-somethings nationwide explore the hopes and challenges of middle adulthood.In it, she interviews Joe Tocci, a 30-year-old living on the Upper West Side.
Nothing special happened on my 30th birthday. I woke up that day; I went to work; I went to the gym — as a 30-year-old. We went to a stupid bar; there's like 22-year-olds running around. For 31 coming up, I'm going to make dinner reservations at a place that's nice and do somethingMy 20s were a rollercoaster: It was fun, it wasn't fun, one test after another. I got involved in some situations that didn't work out, but they did teach me the lessons I needed to learn.
But now that I'm 30, I don't feel I'm by any means at the pinnacle of where everything is coming together like that. It's getting there, but I think we've realized that 30 really isn't 30 anymore. I feel like 30's the new 20, so I'm willing to give it more time.I think I'll feel like I've gotten there when I have a house, and a dog, and a yard. I know what it would take to get a down payment and I'm about ...
People shouldn't be getting married in their 20s. I think that was the downfall of the last generation. Our generation's not going to die as young, so 30-year-olds who are still single and actually comfortable with themselves now? Two comfortable people can come together, and their life is probably going to be more comfortable.
I'm just trying to live my life right. As long as I feel good about what I'm doing, I feel like I'm on the right road. Sometimes people don't do small things because it doesn't give them something in return right away. I believe if you keep giving good stuff out, the same thing will return, like 10 years from now probably.
