How did you turn your life around at 30?
I would love to hear how you turned things around and made something of yourselves.

I hit the ground running when I moved out of my parents' house at 18. I never went in a downward spiral, so there was no need to turn things around.

My life was already good at around 30, so there wasn't really any turnaround. But the thing I was lacking was a partner. Getting married around that time improved all the important aspects of my life. I was fortunate to find the right person. It had little to do with planning, so I couldn't advise on how someone else could find someone.

I finished my PhD at 30. It made all the difference. I went from a dead end $50,000 a year job (well below poverty level in Orange County, CA) to a six-figure salary in only a few short years. It let me buy a house, make improvements that saved me money, and allowed me to save up for a second home in a third of the time it took me to save up for the first.

I was on a downhill slide from the age of 18 until I turned 74. Better late than never.

I was 30 in 1973. How the f am I supposed to remember that?
