In less than 3 months I'll be turning 34. I think that marks the end of describing myself as early thirties and I'll be officially entering mid thirties territory. What do I have to look forward to other than being that much closer to retirement?

I'm on the down slope of my 30's. While I had a lot more fun in my 20s, I've been enjoying my 30s. I'm a lot more financially stable, which means less stress. I still enjoy going out and doing things, and my entertainment has expanded beyond going to the bars/clubs. There is a lot less drama in my life (mostly because I don't have the drama filled friends anymore). And I feel a lot more settled, as I was traveling and moving around a lot for work in my 20s. I am 37 and so far I have loved my 30s. I agree with everything Sroo said.

... What do I have to look forward to other than being that much closer to retirement? Since you are asking here, my guess would be nothing.

I am 41. The only complaint I have is being a bit more achy after exercising. I used to be able to run many miles now I am having to go to low-impact stuff because of my knees and/or hips. Pisses me off but oh well, life goes on... If having to do low impact exercise is the worst thing I deal with then I will be extremely lucky. In general though I love the financial stability I have now and being taken more seriously in my career.

Getting old for some might be great if you're strong and in good health. For the rest it sux. My advice... even if you hate to work, don't wish away your young years and don't take your health for granted. Retirement means nothing if you feel like crap.

Arthritis, bursitis, aches, pains, weight gain, death.

What do I have to look forward to other than being that much closer to retirement? <<smacks yogi>> That's not old! What you have to look forward to: The sex. OMG the SEX!!! Not giving a shit what other people think of you. Having more money. Having better friends as you become more selective and mature. Being wiser and figuring out what life is REALLY about. Hormone pills so you don't have hot flashes any more or look old. And the SEX!!!

It's a cruel joke that men peak sexually at 18 and women at 40.

I hear this from a LOT of women my age. Thankfully (at least I feel that way most of the time) my sweetie is still very frisky.

Since getting older I have noticed that all of the sudden I can't freaking spell anymore. I actually have to think about how to spell certain words. I never used to do that before...

So far the only age-related thing I'm deaing with is inability to read small print. I can no longer read the name on the bottom of a bottle of nail polish nor most of the writing on my vitamin and supplement bottles. I've resorted to keeping a magnifying glass in my desk and a small one in my purse. Last week I finally changed the font size on my desktop to "medium" instead of small. Sigh...

Yes, it was a bit disconcerting to find myself holding small print farther away, trying to read it. Like I've always seen "old people" do. Yogii, I'm some years ahead of you but in my late 30's I started plotting on what I wanted my life to look like starting when I turned 40. The year I turned 40 was a big deal, I'd gotten my finances back on track and my youngest child graduated from high school earlier that year. So far, my 40's are a lot less stressful than my 30's were. My biggest complaint is that sometimes I feel like my body is turning traitor. Nothing major, just aches and pains, hormone issues, the small print thing........ stuff that's suppose to only happen to "old people" and dammit I'm not old yet!
