Yeah I thought thirty was old when I was in high school. Adults of a given age have been getting healthier and healthier my entire life. Being childless in my early thirties is also a blessing. But come on. I had time and no money at twenty one. Now I have money and wisdom. And still healthy. Probably healthier than I was at 21.

Sure lots of people in their twenties are still poorly and may be unhealthy but there’s no magic age where life is over.

I’ll add to the group saying things got better by 30. In my case having kids has helped me get my shit together and take better care of myself both physically and mentally.

Nah, childhood is so depressing. No money, no car, you’re not even allowed to make your own medical decisions. I’m not advocating for giving kids cars and jobs, of course, but it sucks to live through. In your 20s you’re finally allowed to leave toxic situations and maybe get some antidepressants.

The first 25 years of my life were a mess. Going through the wrong puberty not knowing why everything felt so bad, becoming an alcoholic, moving every year sometimes twice in a year. I’m early 30s now, making good progress transitioning, quit drinking, staying in shape, down to moving about every other year. This is so far way better than my teenage years or 20s

Echoing the other comments here. It was right about when I hit 30 that I really started trying to live the life that I want for myself. I still have mental health issues to work through, and sometimes it’s been two steps forward, one step back, but at 37 I can honestly say it’s been an overall positive trajectory.

I’d say up to about 28.

I would say only the first 18 yrs of the 21 century were good, the rest?

We r fucked.
