You even get older thinking one day I'll act like a grown up then the lightbulb hits and you realize there are no such thing as "grown ups"?

Update:
I left my bank job for another relatively same bank job, but for more money. I have been there right around 2 months, but just put my two weeks notice in, last Friday. I'm taking a job that makes a little less, but is more in line with what I want to be doing. I feel so relieved and I haven't even started my new job yet.
Having said that, I plan to get my MBA next year. I wouldn't usually wait, but I'm getting married in November and don't want to be pulled in so many directions with a new job on top of it all.
Hope all is doing well with you other '85 babies. I'm glad I posted this stuff last year because it put out there some goals and it's nice to see the difference (positive difference in my case) that a year makes.

What's the point of accusing him of lying?
Take his word for it, no real reason not to.
Also this thread is cool to read. I hope I at least get to be as successful as some of you guys.

Finished grad school in 2011.
Proposed in 2012 and got married in 2013. Just celebrated my second year of marriage last week.
Moved to Houston a year and half go for a new gig. Getting paid pretty well. Lot of school debt between the both of us tho.
me and my wife are trying to conceive now, hopefully we are blessed with a lil one fairly soon.
Wanna work on improving my credit and eventually buying a home.
Ill make 30 at the end of the year. Still feel like its a lot I dont know that I feel like I should. Gotta make time to become more knowledgeable.
My main focus is trying to keep my wife happy and do well at my job and advance my career. Cant lie, I have my moments when I miss being young with less responsibilities.

Htown 
I wanna switch my job title. I kinda fell into it. Although it deals with my major, it's not were I wanna be ultimately. I'm just learning the system for another year and moving on. But I'm blessed nonetheless. Making good money, nice car, nice place, no kids, no relationship

I feel the same way. I have all the "grown up stuff" but feel like I'm a kid just doing it. Then I sit with the boys and discuss our past stories like they happened yesterday and realize 2007 was a long time ago

Damn. How's your recovering process coming alone, man?
Since you bumped the thread...it's funny what a year makes. Around this time last year, I was pretty down because love life was falling apart. Looking back, that was the best thing that's ever happened. It gave me time to go out and network with like minded individuals. The girl hit me up a couple weeks ago to talk about where we're at in life, and man...I dodge a bullet there. She was good looking, but was a deadweight.
Just got a new job offer yesterday that will come with a company car and will allow me to work mostly from home. I don't like working from home so I found an office for the creative types, going to sign the lease on it tomorrow. Got two side businesses going on, which will ultimately replace my full time job soon. Started a Mastermind group with local treps, some of whom became my best friends.
Looking back, the graduate degrees didn't do much for me....only if I had my mindset now 10 years ago....but I guess hindsight is 20/20.
Slowed down/lost some interest on buying clothes a lot in the last couple years to save up bread to work on my projects, or if I want to...just quit my job and leave the country for a while since I can work completely remotely on my businesses. Funny that my goal was to buy a new M3 by the time I turned 30. When last November rolled around, I could've easily done it, but I no longer had the desire to. A 911S will be had once a house is bought with no mortgage.

I've been thinking about this a lot as of late, for those who are single with no children, do you kind of feel that time is creeping up on you? Don't get me wrong, 30 is not old by any means, but at the same time I feel its around that time to start laying down your foundation. I turn 30 later this year, and man just knowing that I'll no longer be in my 20's is kind of getting to me. I've been single for a very long time (by choice) and im kind of concerned on how dating will be going into my 30s. Older heads chime in.

I never got the whole famb, damb, etc. thing
so I'm not sure if you're messing around or not. I'll answer anyway:It's all mindset. You have 24 hours in a day. Billionaires have 24 hours in a day. Janitors have 24 hours in a day. You have to learn how to leverage and make the most out of it, and that probably means less randomly browsing the 'net unless it's to do case study or whatever else that will help you reach your goals.
I don't know what your goals are, so I can only talk about my goals.
You need to surround yourself with like minded people. Jim Rohn said it best: "You are the average of the 5 friends you spend the most time with". Basically trim off the fat. When I came to the states with moms in the mid 90s, we didn't have much. Eating at Denny's was a special treat. I vowed to do whatever I can to be really caked up one day and take care of moms with all her needs/wants. This is probably my strongest motivation.
This is going to be a long post since I'm venting a bit, but here goes.
I was always the crazy one amongst my college friends who was always active..meaning reading books on my free time, looking at business plans, studied local businesses, wasn't happy with just a 9-5. This was part of the downfall of my dating life since a lot of girls wanted to get serious in their late 20s. The math didn't add up to me. The most I'll make in my career is $200k, and that won't come until I'm in my 50s. How am I supposed to afford a supercar on that budget? When I was around 28-29, things were looking good for me. I had just got a new job (this would be I guess 2 employers ago), I just had met the girl that would dumped me, and we were spending a lot of time together. That job became hell for me. I worked a lot of hours, and when I did the math....if I was paid hourly, I actually took a pay cut. This was when I realized that you can't trade your time for money, shot per shot. I became incredibly stressed out and became bed ridden for a month in December of 2014 because of severe back spasm. It was killing me, I couldn't go to the gym, let alone put on a shirt without pain.
The silver lining was that I had a lot of time to read books, listen to entrepreneur talks online, talked to local treps, and dissected their traits. I also reached out to the two most financially successful people I personally know, both are making 8 figures. One never went to college, and the other dropped out of junior college. Self taught, and hustled until they made it. This was when I realized that school did nothing for me. It was cool to say I hold 2 master's degrees, but that was about it. I learned school teaches you to become a good employee. Follow the syllabus and get high grades. Follow the instructions at work to get a 5% raise at work annually (at best). Don't get me wrong...being educated is awesome, and I think education never stops, this is why I think it's important to always reach and aware yourself. And school is important for certain careers where you have lives in your hands, ie medicine, and law.
It's funny that these two guys making 8 figures I know are really into cars and own impressive collections. One of my other friends now has a Ph. D, and when we hung out, a Rolls Royce Wraith drove by. He said something like "damn, must be nice to own one". Here I was thinking this guy got degrees from the top schools in the country, while my two other friends with Rolls had no formal education at all. It also made me mad at my Ph. D friend. Cars are meant to be driven and owned...why not just hustle and get one soon?
I started networking around and found others who are like me. Folks who didn't wanna do 9-5. Not all are about cars, clothes, etc. The one common factor is that we all want freedom to do whatever the hell we want. Some of them have reached that level already. They'll plan a trip in Africa for a safari and will meet there in April or what have you. A couple are digital nomads and move to a new country every other month, enjoying being world citizens.
It depends on your goals, man.
I absolutely have no plans on having kids anytime soon. Some of my friends, both males and females are already married, have a house, with kid, doing the typical family thing. It's cool if that's what you want, but not me for now at least.
Dating in your 30s is awesome. If you are marketable, ie educated, take care of yourself, etc. you are good. I'm not talking OKC/POF type chicks here
My colleagues have tried to set up me with their single friends all the time. The pressure is definitely on for girls...they wanna start a family while their eggs are still good.

im 30 turning 31 this summer and single with no kids. I see no difference in dating than what i was experiencing in my 20s. I find it much easier cause u can scoop the chicks in the mid 30s and chicks in their early 20s since men their age are "immature" to them
