- As the saying goes: Take my advice! I'm not using it...
-
- Personally, I found age 30 to be considerably easier than age 29, if only
- because I was foolish (or maybe stupid) enough to spend a noticible portion
- of the year _worrying_ about what would be different once I was THIRTY.
-
- Frankly, I feel younger at 35 than I did at 29. As for pressure from your
- family, I don't know what that's like, but you have to know they wouldn't
- *really* want you to have had a marriage and/or child _just_because_ you're
- turning thirty, rather than for "right" reasons. They just haven't thought
- it through like that.
-
- Of course, *ten years* from now, if you're still single, and really set on
- having children, you might look into other possibilities, but even though
- you hear that occasional really loud 'tick' from your biological clock ;-)
- you've probably got little to worry about just yet.
