I always enjoy the fact I surprise some by being carded and they figure out i'm 31...even with the beard.
With age comes wisdom. 30 is a round number, but it's really not a benchmark for anything. Numbers are just human concepts to track events. So what you are turning 30, it doesn't mean anything. If it causes you to reflect back and measure your progress, it could be a good thing. I consider myself lucky to see a new year every year it happens. So many do not live to see 30.
The reason a 10 year old cannot imagine being 20 is because that's twice their age. When you ask a 20 year old to remember 10 years back, they don't have vivid memories of most things. That's 50% of their life. For a 40 year old, it's fairly easy to recall because it doesn't seem that long ago. I can imagine at 70, 10 years ago is like yesterday.
There won't be much of a difference between 30 and 40 for you except in your own self image. Expecting to be wealthy by a certain age is a bit naive, and think it's going to be by 30 funny.
It's a true statement that youth is wasted on the young. Life is so much better when you get older and established.

20 year old losers are often bigger losers at 30.WHOA!symple19 is >30???????
good god, how old are you? i thought you were such a loser and on spurstalk all the time because you were a 19 or 20 year old kid!
Yeah...with athletes and people who compete at high levels it's different. I was more referring to the average Joe. Most everyday people can stay at the same fitness level into their 40s if they work hard and stay disciplined.
You should also exclude every sport that requires some level of talent or skill.
30? It is just a number and no big deal. So is 40 and 50.
I'm pretty sure even for your average joe, you can perform better at 25 instead of 35 in a sport like basketball. Given the cardiovascular aspect is the same with both ages due to regular exercise, the 25 year old likely jumps higher and is still quicker...quicker in attacking/penetrating, greater lateral quickness for defense. At some point those knee ligaments deteriorate, and for a dude that is highly active and plays a lot of ball, he probably performs better at 25.
I play with some older dudes into their 30s and 40s relatively often, they'll tell you the same thing.
Lol making minimum wage into your late 20slol kids giving life advice

Yea, and the guy picking up my garbage on Mondays is grooming for a career in Environmental Mgmt.
Denzel Washington started out as a garbage man, so you never know.
If you're being busy doing something productive, you wont even notice what your age is.
when i'm making 6 figures within 2 years (maybe less) you can ask me to borrow some money and i may throw you a few bonesYea, and the guy picking up my garbage on Mondays is grooming for a career in Environmental Mgmt.
I'm very surprised to be carded now with my beard. I couldnt have grown this at 24 much less 20.
40 is when life really starts.
6 figures? That is chump change. The problem with people these days is they worry too much about the benjamins. Ain't nothin' wrong with a minimum wage job and I have great respect them.when i'm making 6 figures within 2 years (maybe less) you can ask me to borrow some money and i may throw you a few bones
World needs ditch diggers too, i must admit.
Kudos to you Pego, keep your head up.
thispetho needs to slow his ass down.
alright judge smails
1/2 step by 34.I'm 23(24 in 4 months), but it's crazy how one moment you just enter college, and the next you already out.....at least that's how it seems to me. For those of you who still go, enjoy every moment, those are probably the best 4 years of your life.
Can some of the older folks here tell me at what point they felt like their body was starting to slip up?
I enjoy playing Tennis/Soccer so much, I'm really scared of that moment when you lose that half a step....
It's probably not at 30 though.....
Exponential back-stepping begins at 40 (I'm nearly 43 now, and my crossover could get picked by a 12 year old).
Work on that jump shot NOW - don't wait 'til it's the only game you got.
And it usually takes longer to recuperate from a long game of basketball at 30 than you were in your 20's.
I never slowed down and never needed any viagra either. In fact, I'm for stiff now than I've ever been.
In your previous post you said that the younger person would be a better player (25 year old compared to 35). I'm just saying that in most sports, talent, skills and experience matters just as much as age when you are trying to find the better player.

Would make more sense if you compared 2 guys with similar talent/skills or compared 2 different times in 1 player's career.
