20s the new 40 the way dudes hairlines is nowadays breh 
30s the new 20 is something losers and people not comfortable with their age say. Enjoy the point of life you're in, every age is an experience and you go through it with the same people that shared the same years with you when you were 15, 20, 25, etc...

I can't wait for my 30th birthday so it can be done and over with. I'm in great shape, living my life, and enjoying it for the first time in years. I wouldn't trade the experiences and people I've met in my lifetime for the world. I do have my "should ofs", "what ifs", and regrets, but that's in the past.
I think when I was 28, I really took time to re-evaluate myself and what I meant to the people around me. I was basically off to a late start with college...it took me 10 years to get a degree. All the while, I was still living in my hometown that I was living in for the majority of my life and I felt that in order to truly grow as an individual, I had to leave. I did, and it makes me wish I did things differently in my life and wasn't so lazy.
It really hit me when I was at my first "real" job in Manhattan that I had been sleeping when I felt like one of the oldest employees at 28. Everyone there was atleast 22 on average. But when I was living in Pittsburgh on my own at 22, opportunities like that just seemed so out of reach...especially without a degree.
So, I can't fight father time or curse it. Things happen for a reason. I would of liked to of done things differently, but seeing as how young I was and still learning about the world, and people, and myself I couldn't of done things the way I would of liked to now.
Plus, I don't consider myself "old" at all. I'm still young at heart and connected to that soul and spirit that defined me then now.

I hit 30 a while ago... my 30s have been great to me. At 20 I was a broke college student; ain't nothing fun about that struggle ish.
I'm looking good, feeling good, married to the man I love, money isn't a problem, career advancing nicely, plus I get to buy my own liquor if I feel like it... what's not to like? LOL

I feel this fo sho. When I was 20, I was broke. I couldn't do anything, and I was really irresponsible (as well, I was also avoiding responsibility). My early 20s sucked to. I was living in a place where I felt like I couldn't be myself in because it was so restrictive. As well, I guess I wasn't the person I wanted to be, and that had me in a constant battle between accepting who I was and working towards who/what I wanted to be. It's weird, but I just felt like the person I was in my early 20s wasn't the real me. Now, I am the real me cause I'm finally content with who I am now. And with that, I accepted that I was still driven by passions to try to pursue art, music, fashion, etc. The same stuff I've been trying to do for almost 15 years and it's starting to see some success. I don't think I would of ever been content in my life if I DIDN'T try to live those out before I got old and wasn't worth it or made it somewhere. Maybe it's stubborn considering I haven't seen much success with it, but more success than anything else I've ever done is about right.
And having families and getting married...considering where I was and my life situation in my early 20s, I knew that was never going to happen unless I moved. Not to say I wouldn't like to get married, but I'm finally having fun now in my life not being in college for the first time in years (I just graduated last year).

I'll agree with this. And with that, 25 is the new 20.
Just because you act 20 when you're 30.... it don't make you 20 again.
30 is the same ole 30.

Honestly, if your doing it right your 30s should be > then your 20s
Having a successful transition into your 30's is all about managing the new responsibilities that creep into your life...I know alot of people mid to late 20's that are rushing to get that marriage, house, AND kid (note I said AND). Realistically you need to forget that and add new responsibilities to your life ONLY when you can handle them. If you do that and stay in shape then your 30's will basically be a more fun version of your 20's without ratchetness lol
