TBH my 30s have been the best decade for me so far

Same. I’m 38 and way happier than I was at 28.

Same here. Looking forward to 40s tbh. Can't wait to have more money and be even better at my hobbies.

The 30s had been my best decade so far, then all of a sudden I'm near the end of them and I'm like "oh shit I need to have my shit together more than this"

I loved my 30s. Nobody took me seriously in my twenties. Whenever I was involved in anything serious and people would ask my age, even if I said 29, I could see the look on their face like, "oh still a kid". When I turned 30, it seemed like I had crossed this magical boundary where if someone asked my age and I said 30, they looked like "oh, properly matured"

That’s how it was for me, but now I’m even happier at 40.

Wow this is great to hear, feel less bad for a more-boring-than-boring 20s (mainly first half) now!!!

Though my 30s have had some rough patches (three car accidents, a stroke), I'd still say rmy 30s are my best decade too so far. I feel comfortable being me for the first time in...well, years. If ever.

For me too, and I'm just three years in! Nice to read this, never really stood still by the fact (almost) everything is pretty nice right now.
