When you’re in your 20s, you go from a job to another until you discover what your passion is, you fall in love for the first time and you might even find your soulmate, you learn to enjoy the little things in life.
This instability makes it a beautiful period of your life, but what are you going to do after you turn 30? Before that, you work for yourself and, most of the time, you avoid problems instead of solving them, so what should you do when the responsabilities that come with maturity arrive?
Obviously, there is no perfect, secret recipe that can learn you how to deal with life in such a way that you can be happy and wealthy, but what you can do is learn from mistakes: yours, and other’s. Here are a few stories of people who turned their mistakes into life lessons that can hopefully help and inspire you.
If in your 20s you liked to have fun and spend all your money without thinking about it twice, after you turn 30 it’s time to start saving some. Don’t wait until tomorrow, nor for the next year.
You should start saving money right now! I heard a story of a woman who had two kids and a very little payment at her job, but she managed to save some money every day, so when she was 50 she was financially stable for the first time in her life.
Besides that, another important aspect of life is your health, because success means more than financial stability. We all have a tendency to say:
I’m going to start eating healthier, but tomorrow.
Next Monday I’m going to the gym.
I’ll quit smoking…someday.
We all know the damage we’re doing, but we never stop because we think that we have enough time. The thing is, we have to understand that an illness doesn’t appear overnight, our body doesn’t shut down out of nowhere. Out health gets damaged over time, so we have to start taking care of it right now, before it’s too late.
Lastly, being successful also implies being happy. Judging by the experience of many people over 30, one of the best things you can do for yourself and you happiness is to create healthy relationships with people who deserve your time and attention.
Life is very short and your time is precious, so you should avoid offering it to people who don’t appreciate you for who you are, or to a person who doesn’t make you happy. Keep those who you care about close to you, those people who bring out the best in you, and also don’t forget to show them that you love and appreciate them.
Hardwork , honesty and good plan will give me success cos i have confidence on mine
I ll give you a simpler answer...
Essentially, all they do is (in that order):
True story...
Really true, never give up man!
We should always seize the moment imo!
That's true!
How awesome is the way you articulate thoughts into engineering concrete solutions. I am 22 right now but it is a great tike to read this. Your idea of "happiness" has burst the stress bubble i have been carrying on my shoulders. Lol. I used to have revolutionary ideas in my teens but yeah i am a big admirer of utilitarianism now(like why dont they teach us that in 7th grade?) and why then when we have done much harm to ourselves? Haha jk. I am more than content to have read your article just in time. It strengthend a belief I was trying to hold on to for quite some time. Thanks for that

Excellent write up. I believe this post will give positive energy to many. Each word is gem:
thank you man!
Life is really uncertain, we have to do everything hurry so that we can enjoy happy life, Agreed
Lets save something for rainy days right now. Otherwise it would be too late.
yes now @ days we can't say what will happen tomorrow so we have to make it today only what we have thought yo do tomorrow.
well writen sir! sometimes we need to choose best and good people to be friend of so that we will never lost our life's destinations :)
Great post, I'm just 22y.o and all I can think is about save money
You are such one! Thank you @jwolf
Incredible exposure. After reading it, I remember the time I was 20 years old. But if you mention the success of being able to establish rapport with people close to you, I immediately think of my family, mother, son and wife and my other family. It is true to live with good communication with them, this is far from enjoying many abundant treasures.
Strongly agree with you. Put your time wisely in your field. sure success will be in your way. and keep sharing like that. stay blessed <3
the secret... do smart shit in your 20s
The post is really informative. I think youth like me have to read this post in order to be prepared for the future. The reason is that most time we always think that there is still time, thus procrastinating things that are of greater importance. Thank you sir for such a reasonable post.
Hard work and struggle is only key to success
Hey @jwolf very well written.
Thanks for your time and effort!
Looks like we be in similar kind of thinking zone today...

Having good values, discipline and clear goals are key if we want to find success. No after what age we have. Of course, the sooner we begin the faster the results.
Each person is different and lives equally different situations, being successful is knowing how to overcome these problems with a cold head, separating the emotional from the rational to achieve your goals. Make money, go to the gym, have a stable emotional life are routine when talking about success, the real success in my opinion is to be clear about what your heart and mind wants, follow your desires, work to achieve the things you truly want and of course discover them before it is too late. The part of spending time with the rigth kind of people that deserves that time is very veryyyy important!
Sadly just turned 31... :(
If I had my time over again I would do things a lot different, I would save like mad for one thing :)
@jwolf
