It’s not the end of the world. While the 20s are fun, each decade gives you something new and exciting to look forward to. Believe it or not, there are quite a few reasons to look forward to your 30s. Trust me, after just a few months in; you’ll see exactly what mean.

1. Enjoy stability…
By the time you reach your 30s, you’ve figured out what style fits your best and what career path you want to head down. As a result, you have a more stable lifestyle without all the drama that goes with constantly changing your mind. While you can still shake things up, you know its okay to stay with what you like.

2. You’re finally an adult…
Okay, so legally you became an adult at 18, but most “adults” still consider you immature even through your 20s. People under 30 are often considered too impulsive and irresponsible to handle adult tasks and careers. Welcome to 30 and adulthood. Suddenly, you’re respected for the mistakes you’ve made and the confidence you’ve gained. Watch as new doors open for you in your personal and professional life.

3. More confident dating life…
By the time you’re 30, you know what you want in a relationship. You’re no longer insecure and hiding behind your drink at the bar. Instead, you’re ready to take charge. This new confidence acts as a guy magnet. The good ones will definitely notice while the bad guys will still be playing the field of uncertain 20-somethings. Watch as the quality of guy changes, it’s absolutely mind-blowing.

4. Less anxiety…
You have so many ups and downs; it’s like a roller-coaster that keeps falling off the track. By the time you reach your 30s, you’ve hit more stable ground and as a result, the stress and anxiety start to fade away. Of course, you’ll have stressful moments, but they won’t seem nearly as bad. Think of your 30s as that deep breath that’s supposed to dissolve anxiety attacks.

5. Financially secure…
Finances aren’t usually the most important thing to a 20-something. I know I definitely made mistakes along the way. Your 30s likely represent the first time in your life that you’re actually financially secure. You have a place that’s all your own and steady income to pay for all the fun things you couldn’t do in your 20s. Believe me when I say this is probably one of the best #things about turning 30.
