Ahhh, turning 30, the milestone that used to feel like stepping into a “grown-up” club with velvet ropes and a cocktail in hand. Back in the day, hitting 30 meant you were officially adulting: steady job, maybe a mortgage, a reliable record player spinning your favorite Beatles or Fleetwood Mac. You had a landline, not a smartphone glued to your palm.

Fast forward to now, and turning 30 feels like a whole different universe. Millennials and Zoomers might still be calling it a “quarter-life crisis”, but Boomers? You remember it as a rite of passage that shaped the rhythm of your life: family dinners, road trips in station wagons, and mixtapes made with love and a little tape hiss.

So be ready, because the ride from “Then” to “Now” is a nostalgic joyride showing how the past is sometimes better that the now (or even the future). Gen Z, close your eyes; Boomers, clean those glasses. Let's see how much better we were.
