30 Tips For Someone Turning 30

    In this podcast:

    Someone is turning thirty, so to celebrate, I have thirty tips for someone turning thirty although the age is pretty arbitrary, and my advice probably isn’t worth much

    30 tips for someone turning 30 (the age is pretty arbitrary):

    1. Enjoy your current vocation (single, married, with kids, without)
    2. Grass is greener where you water it – invest in your current vocation
    3. Be aware of your spiritual parenthood (to your non-biological children)
    4. Seek advice from other people.
    5. Don’t always take their advice
    6. Don’t worry about things that don’t matter (like clothes).
    7. (Still Don’t worry but) Pay attention to things that do matter (like relationships)
    8. Be financially responsible (watch some Dave Ramsey YouTube videos)
    9. Most anything electronic is going to drop in value
    10. Nobody cares what kind of car you drive. And if they do, then you shouldn’t care about their opinion.
    11. Don’t compare yourself to others
    12. Take pride in your work – do your best. Work is part of your vocation, not just a means to an end, but an end itself
    13. Take pictures/videos (you can always delete them later, but you can’t go back in time to take pictures after-the-fact)
    14. Go on a retreat once a year
    15. Teach what you know
    16. Learn what you don’t know. Don’t stop learning – (books, documentaries, podcasts, classes)
    17. Read the New Testament (took me years to do)
    18. Serve, volunteer (church, coach t-ball, soup kitchen, …)
    19. Go to daily Mass
    20. Complain less
    21. Donate to charities (this isn’t something to put off until you are older)
    22. Ideas are worthless – Execution is what matters – do something
    23. Don’t quit – if it’s what you are called to do, don’t give up
    24. Quit – If it isn’t what you are supposed to be doing,
    25. Do the right thing (not the easy thing)
    26. Be part of a community
    27. Try new things (foods, locations, adventures)
    28. Try new (legitimate) types of prayer 
    29. Say, “thanks”
    30. In the words of Baz Luhrmann, “Wear Sunscreen” (Episode 67 of Doctor Doctor)
