What should a man have achieved and done by age 30 in the 2020's?

[Visel]

Title.

I'm turning 27 this year, 5'10 165 lbs, have had about 5 girls, most recent being a 3.5 years LTR that ended. Net worth is near $100k if you count retirement, otherwise I got my toys/gadgets, a paid off car, and an emergency fund. Currently making $84k/yr base, but it's closer to $120k gross after overtime, bonuses, stock options, etc. 401(k) vests in a couple of months so I'll own that outright.

I've never left my home city / state for more than a week. Thinking about packing up and moving somewhere else to get another experience in my life, would mean leaving behind family and friends though.

I think by 30 I'd like to have lived at least one additional place for a year or longer, be below 160 lbs for most of my late twenties / early thirties to get a little closer to that lean Brad Pitt Fight Club physique, he was 36 in this movie btw. Have enough in non-retirement to buy a down payment for a mortgage in areas I'm interested in, so by 30 that'd be like $100k tbh.

IDK if I want to have another relationship/LTR under my belt by 30, but that's a possibility. Would be nice to never get blackout drunk or get any misdemeanors/felonies by then too, clean record so far at least. I've got a Bachelor's degree, friends/family/coworkers try to push me to get a Master's, but I think that's a waste of time and money tbh, though maybe the misc has a different opinion on education goals by 30 than me, idk.

By 30 I'd want a solid friend group though, been a loner ever since I was in a LTR, so like for the last 3-4 years.

What is the misc's image of an ideal 30 years old in the 2020's?

Spoiler!

Did you know that this movie came out 20 years ago in 2002?

[Issobolic28]

Who cares about what the Misc thinks; it's just a cesspool of trolls.

Stop following an agenda; your pace is fine.

[Ironmanlet]

lol at subtle brag attempt.

[Destor]

Be better than you were overall at 20 years old


Everyone has such different starting points and trajectories, I don't think you can come up with generalized milestones like this aside from being in a better position than you were previously

[Paul Kreul]

By 30 you should have owned your first home & a paid off vehicle.

But none of it matters if you don’t know the Lord. None of it.

The Greatest Man in History had no servants, yet they called Him Master.
Had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher.
Had no medicine, yet they called Him Healer.
He had no army, yet kings feared Him.
He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world.
He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him.
He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today.

[Ottobrah]

You will die one day and none of it will matter so just live your life by your own standards.

[tripod29]

You mention having a ltr with a gentleman, but I would suggest now attempting to lose your virginity.

Cheers.

[F1exAppeal]

If you're not making $85k net a year MINIMUM by the time you're 27 you're a loser. I don't make the rules.

[Visel]

lol at subtle brag attempt.

I don't feel like a braggart on this forum srs. Frauding or not there's people on here that make $300k+/yr, literal CEO 1k/day status. I'm maybe slightly above average compared to most Americans, versus someone in the top 1-5% like that.

[suave2000]

to me the most importan one is being financialy independent, being able to survive and thrive without being a wagecel. Being a business owner or a independent professional or even and independent skilled tradie. Not having to be cucked by a "boss" and a "wage" is the first step into evolving as a male imo. There are lots of benefits to being the master of your own time and goals. I would never, ever go back to being a wagecel I would rather ditch society and become a woodsman hobo before going back to that.

Also and even more importantly, not caring what others think of you, knowing your own self worth and living with integrity.

Acquiring knowledge from various sources is important too to broaden your horizons, reading and learning from different phislophies and so on can help you gain lots of wisdom.

Established expertise in a certain topic (typically takes 10 years full time)
Career built off of said expertise
a few properties invested
$1M liquid
Strong relationships with family and network of friends and colleagues

Damn. I'm a fan of all of those things, but chit $1m liquid and multiple propertise mortgaged/owned by 30? Sounds like I better start gambling or getting lucky in stocks.

[davik]

i could change my life in probably 2 weeks, but i cant be bothered yet

[JayJ350]

Tall (5' 11" or higher)
Big dick
Good shape

[GainzMcgee]

op sounds like he is checking off boxes based on his percepetion of "success" that he learned from social media and televsion then is going onto a dying ghey indian male erotic review forum and asking if he is successful LMFAOOOO with that mindset OP you are never gonna make it. Btw juden bucks wont be worth anything soon so stop using that as a measure of your success.

[CrimsonSteel]

You should have your own goals and ideals. Who cares what Misc thinks?

If you have a strong starting point from your parents/family, that's definitely possible

If you have a less ideal starting point, you can still get there but it'll take longer. But then you can set up the next generation for success

[SuperHercules]

No offense OP but you're pathetic if you need others to tell you if your existence is worth anything based on how many material possessions you have obtained by 30

Imagine living with this NPC mentality

[soaponarope1]

lol @ financial goals ITT that make attaining a specific salary/net worth seem important. By 30 you should have experienced enough to have a well defined idea of the lifestyle you want to lead and what makes you happy. You use this knowledge to plan out your life accordingly. There's no income requirement there outside of what it takes to support that lifestyle and save some for when you get old as ****. Maximize fun and enjoyment, minimize problems and unpleasant work, and do this for the next 50 years.

That's it.

How do you start a business with no skills?

Which version of Christianity should I believe in? There's like 30 different sects of it. Are they all right? lmao

no we live in a material world, so those things are everything

Not really gambling. I am answering for what "good" looks like.....what the high standard should be from a business sense (of course everything is relative)
But if you start out at 21 with a corp job that pays well, you literally have 9 years to invest and compound your money. Maybe a few properties is a bit aggressive but you get the drift.

At a minimum you should have an expertise in something valuable and that be the foundation for your income stream.

That's it.

This is a great point, however I do believe there is a minimum income requirement to live certain lifestyle (in the US) and be financially free at some point (earlier sooner than later)
It take more than most people think to retire early (in the US)

[deft0nes]

OP at 30 working his ass off when he could have been chillin at the beach having fun

[JayJ350]

OP at 30 working his ass off when he could have been chillin at the beach having fun

*be tall
*look aesthetic
*get sloots
*mog OP

[naich]

At your weight...

1000lb total MINIMUM
year round shredz
6 minute mile
Mobility above average for lifting standards
3 people watching your heavy sets through the mirror AT BARE MINIMUM
scary control over your hips and a deep anxiety about the power they hold

That should be figured out by 30.

[SuperHercules]

no we live in a material world, so those things are everything

Another NPC who's never going to make it

Accumulating wealth should be based on how much you require for your desired lifestyle. You'll always be on the sideline watching other people play the game if your priority is to let others dictate how you should live
