    Well not exactly it was about 2 weeks ago, but i don't feel like I'm 30, I still feel like I'm young though, although I don't like any new popular music and someone did comment that I was stuck in the 90s. Damn mileninals or however it's spelled.

    I don't have any children but I do rent an apartment by self and have job. I just feel like I should have accomplished more by now.

    Anyone have similar or life changing decisions upon turning 30?

    Maybe because you are still young?
    I thought it was commonly accepted that "old" is whatever your age is plus 15.

    Get yourself a bag of Werthers Originals and a nice pair of slippers.
    It's also now acceptable to start shouting at the TV.

    OP, you're halfway to 60.

    Let that sink in.

    I think everyone under 30 has to accept that the economy is fùcked, will be fùcked for a good few years to come and you're going to end up substantially poorer and less successful/less opportunities than your parents had or will ever have, Yous have been sold toffee.

    I wouldn't take it personally. Everyone's in the same boat OP.

    I've got some bad new for you buddy, you are a millennial.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Your life is officially over. You have reached the top of the hill and are now sky rocketing down the other side at an alarming rate. You've only been 30 for two weeks and already the 'anxiety' has set it. Book a place in a retirement home now before its too late.

    30 was Ryan Gigg's 20.
