Why 30 is not the new 20 | Meg Jay
Trki, Kody, Cheaty do
Clinical psychologist Meg Jay has a bold message for twentysomethings: Contrary to popular belief, your 20s are not a throwaway decade. In this provocative talk, Jay says that just because marriage, work and kids are happening later in life, doesn't mean you can't start planning now. She gives 3 pieces of advice for how twentysomethings can re-claim adulthood in the defining decade of their lives.

Easier said than done. What if something happened to one? What if one gets sick, get into an accident, is in a extremely abusive relationship l, or come from a dysfunctional family in the 30's or 40's? Life doesn't happen smoothly for everyone. This sounds like is directed more for the typical privileged person. Some peeps have to grow up faster and do things that they are not supposed to at an early age, therefore wasting their time surviving, and taking care of a sick parent. As nice as this talk sounds, it is not realistic.

I can't believe there are so many people are stressing about not being married/having kids by 30. On the flipside, there are so many people who ARE married with a family by that age, and STILL feel unfulfilled or as if they've somehow missed out on their youth. Let's not forget that finding your perfect match is not exactly an easy task, why do you think marriage ends in divorce 50% of the time. People need to stop bowing to societal pressure and go with the flow. Things don't fall into place for everybody at the same time.

It's so unfair that we as the "little people" ie every day citizens have difficulties making it whereas the politicians and elites make money off us so easily and live such good lives 😡

Very stereotypical way of thinking.
-
How would one in their 20s possibly know for sure what they really want already? Not to mention plan for having a family before actually getting married? ? Half of them haven't experienced life and don't even know what they truely want! Besides, what you want today may differ from what you wanted 5 years, or even 5 months ago.

I might as well kill myself bye world..:)

She's not saying you can't start at 30 or that it's necessary too late, just that you should be constantly developing yourself and not throw away the years letting the older you take care of it. I'm 31 :)

oh please there's no such thing as a wasted decade or wasted years..you are here now aren't you? so nothing was wasted as long as it got you to this point. Things happen when they happen, but never beat yourself up over "lost" time because you'll never get it back..want to change something? do it now. It's very dangerous and sad to live your life feeling like you missed out..we all have regrets but the key is moving forwards always and at every age.

Even if you work hard to find Mr. or Mrs. Right in your late twenties, and score a really good job, it doesn't mean it will last forever. Divorce and getting fired can still happen. Who's to say that you can't do those things later (again)?

this is a mind changer
-
Well that was depressing...
-
Sooo true, midlife crisis what? 3getting close to 30 or being 30 not married with no kids is death stressful
-
I have no desire to watch this crap. my twenties are the worst years of my life so I'm using my 30s as my 20s as 99% of millennials will do \are doing
