Why Age 30?: When Life Cost Isn't Just Rice

The 30s Epiphany: When Number 3 slapped us in the face with the fact that "rare money disappeared," The 30s Epiphany: When Number 3 slapped us in the face with the fact that "rare money disappeared."

At the age of 22, we used to see the world through dream filters, we believed that a degree was a gateway to wealth, and we believed that "money" was just a by-product of a surging raft, but cut to 30...The filter was pulled out, leaving only the naked truth that smashed us in the face with the big name of making money in this modern world, not just "diligent," but "war."

Why Age 30?: When Life Cost Isn't Just Rice

In your 20s, raising fifteen dollars for life may seem like a success, but in your 30s, the same number turns out to be a hell of a reality, because this is the age when Lifestyle Creep (income growth) starts working most efficiently.

* Inevitable Social Taxes: Friend Weddings, Cousins Matriculation, Housewarming Gifts, or Even "Must" Have a Gadget or Car to Maintain a Work Image All these are expenses that at the age of 20 we never have to carry.

* The body that started charging fees: In the past, we were deprived of sleep for free, but now a night's sleep deprivation means physical therapy, a special coffee fee of THB 150 to awaken the spirit, and a supplement to the headboard.

* "Sandwich" responsibility: We become middle-aged people who have to take care of their parents who are getting sick and their future (or someone has a child). This pressure makes the money "evaporate" faster than the alcohol used to wash the wound.

Interesting (and sad) statistics

Data indicate that people aged 30 + have the highest per capita debt compared to all ages, and alarmingly, "income does not grow in inflation." While the cost of living in Bangkok is soaring, the starting salary is moving as slowly as a turtle cramps. To raise an additional 10,000 today, it is exchanged for a huge amount of time and health.

Immediately summarize: "Grown up, must survive."

If you don't want the term "scarce money" to become anathema to life in your 30s, here's what you need to sum up to end in your head today:

* Stop believing in passive income fantasies: In fact, most of the money also comes from Active Income, so keep the marketable "skills" as good as possible.

* Latent costs are real enemies: Unwatched Streaming Membership, Plus Food Delivery, and swiping cards for "Its Must Have" are leaks that make you feel that how much money is raised is not enough.

* Reserve is a breath: At this age, not having a reserve equal to life hangs on a yarn, because "unforeseen things" in your 30s always come with a painful bill.

Knowing that money is scarce is not meant to discourage us, but it is meant to give us more "respect" for every dollar we earn and to stop letting life flow quietly into a consumerism that keeps sucking money in our pockets.
