Good choice. Well done.
I'm only a tad older than you.
Observe the unmarried women around you who reach 30 years of age. They tend to get anxious, frustrated, depressed, or a combination of those emotions. Men typically do not have such a problem.
Also, with proper diet and regular exercise, you can look young well into your 40s and beyond. No need for SK-II and all that makeup bullshit.
Balance your life with achieving something (may not necessarily be related to making tons of money) or enriching the intangible aspects of it (volunteering, travelling etc).
I don't really have any interest in volunteering or traveling. And I don't believe in marriage. Though I will probably get married when I am around 45-55, not because I believe in ever-lasting love, but because I would probably want to have children before I die.
Women by nature are a lot more emotional and insecure than man. That is why us men rule the world.
Young or old is a relative concept - relative to your achievements, to be more precise.
A 40-year old man taking public transport to work is considered middle age or old. Another 40-year old man who becomes President of US or Prime Minister of Britain is considered young.
A 28-year old man still living off his parents is considered old. Another 28-year old man who runs a public listed company is considered very young.
I think most people in my generation make more money and have better lives than those who are 40 and above. This is due to better education. While there are many successful young people around my age 25-40, many of them are not at the helms of big companies or governments.
It is easy for me to make 3k-6k, and to be in lower to middle management, but anything more than that, it is hard. There is a glass ceiling. So many strike out on their own.
Society seems to think that you need to be 40-55, have a degree or two and have decades of experience to run big listed companies. And then around 55-65, you suddenly become too old and are chucked out the door.
In fact, looking at how many people die of heart attack/stroke even before they are 50, it is quite sad that society is so ageist towards the young. I would love to see more leaders in their late 20s and 30s. David Cameron I believe is 42. William Pitt the younger was Prime Minister of the UK at 25, and he was the UK's best Prime Minister. Lee Kuan Yew became Prime Minister at 36 I believe.
Frankly, I find it retarded to have old men who are balding, barely able to stay alive, and still leading companies and governments. Even if you are in good health, I think 55-60 is the maximum one can go. Beyond that, the human brain and body just has lost too much of its power.
