Grow up, they said. It will be fun, they said. But what they didn’t say – and no one ever says – is how to do it.
How do you take just the right amount of risk with the peanuts in your bank account today to have a modest fortune a decade from now? How do you find love, keep it, multiply it manifold and how do you imagine a life without love, too? How do you pick the right headphones when everyone is buying AirPods on Monday and losing them by Friday?
Here’s the secret: No one’s got it all figured out. Not the millionaires. Not your grandparents. But older folks have been able to work out a few things from years of tripping, falling, rising and giving it another go.
Our cover story is about the things you should know by the time you’re 30. But don’t wait until you’re twenty-nine-and-three-quarters to start. And don’t believe that you’ve missed out if you’ve already crossed 30.
As any of the advice-giving grown-ups in this story will tell you, adulthood is a journey, not a destination. Consult every map, take note of every sign, but forge your own path.
