Top Comments : [TED] Why 30 is not the new 20 | Meg Jay

Cz**********:

I am almost 44. 20ies were tough and fun in the same time. 30ies were kind of time to iron in and solidify all the basics, mentally, spiritually and physically. AND fourties, thus far, are the happiest!

tm*******:

Boy it would have been much nicer to be in your 20's during the 80's and 90's but in today's world, in this economy, 20 year old's are pretty screwed.

Su*********:

The number of 20 year old women convinced to be responsible: 0

Ay****:

30, 20, or 40 doesn't really matter.
You have now, its a good place to start. Crying about the years spent already doesn't help. Realising that you can change course now is everything. Life happens to all of us.

Be********:

I was engaged by 24 and single again at 44. My thirties I thought I had done everything right.

Id**:

This was more depressing than motivating.

El*******:

This is so true. I "woke up" at around 27? And I'm 29 now, will be 30 in a month... and I regret so so much the 20-ties I wasted.... all the potential I had. The easy health, the easy fitness. The career I didn't have and am now desperately scrambling to have.... it's a tragedy and not many people realise that they're living it. Or how to recover from it.

Pa********:

Could have watched this when I was 22. Too bad I’m almost 30 now.

Me***:

29 years old and I've learned some of the most important lessons in the last season of my 20s. About to be two years into my career, new found confidence that is still growing, working on more ambition and just taking baby steps to better myself overall. My 30s are gonna be A1.

Go********:

I watched this when I was 23, now I am 29, looking at this again and shocked by how much this helped me to be more purposeful with my life. Thank you.

Jo**********:

I agree WHOLE heartedly with this. She's on target with everything I've been thinking since i was 19.

Pa**********:

I hadn't a video like this in my twenties, but seeing some of my friends progressing and my parents getting old started take out my sleep and so I realised I couldn't wait more to decide what to do of my life. Today I'm 43, have a good job, wife, 2 daughters, help my aged parents and travel sometimes around my country and the world.

Ro********:

I think I'm going to do a ted talk on how depressing ted talks are

Le*******:

"Don't be defined by what you didn't know or didn't do."
Wow, I needed to hear that!

Gr********:

Thank you for making me feel worse than I was already. I am 35 by the way.

96*****:

When you're a Man that is:
1) not married
2) financially secure
3) no nonsense
4) value time

The tables turn and now you are the buyer, not the seller. You define the terms. They will chase you. Truth.

je************:

Just turned 23 and I DEFINITELY needed to hear this

Er**:

My entire 20's has been dealing with disease and disabilities, don't have much to show for myself but I think anyone can find meaning in life even with the odds against you.

Da*:

I wish I could meet this woman. I watched this talk about a year ago now, when my life was in ruins, I had no job, no money, no direction, love or the ability to care. I was in tears when she spoke about Emma. Because I felt the exact same. But it inspired me to do all that I wanted to do in life. 1 year later I moved from a sad small town to Sydney, found an amazing job in community services, found a man that would do anything for me, brought a brand new car, watched my bank account grow, and started my degree in social sciences. And I did it all on my own.

Because of this tedtalk. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you!

Po*****:

Honestly, half of my 20's have been spent working and trying to get on my feet (trying to break a familial poverty cycle), let alone dating. I look young for my age anyway, so dating can wait a teensy bit longer. If I do end up passing the age for having kids, I'll just adopt. But I'm not having kids until I have something to pass down to them, period.

Ba**********:

Her voice and accent are AMAZING

Vi************:

Boy was this stressful to listen to. (Currently 27 years old.)

qd***:

So...as the saying goes...”Youth is wasted on the young.”

Don’t wait until you’re 50 to realize the lessons you should have learned by 25.

st******:

I got married at 25, and divorced at 31, because my partner cheated. Marriage, and relationships aren't everything.

El********:

I'm 25 and this is hitting me like a cold shower on a Monday morning.

Ar*******:

I watched this video 4-5 years ago. It showed up again in my recommendation and when I watched it again, everything made more sense than it did before.

MV*:

20 something guys and girls of today...please take note of what this lady has to say. I am a mid forties man who basically practiced what this lady preached without knowing it in my 20's. By 23 I had a degree, by 25 a mortgage on a house and 27 thanks to a clear understanding of what partner I wanted...I had a wife who gave me the gift of being the father to 2 great boys! So please start planning your life now as to what you want and who you want by your side... and make it happen! Do not loose time as you won't get it back. Once you hit 30's and your life is still unresolved, the options of partnering are not good...lots of baggage and wasted time/unambitious people you may force yourself to settle with. Men, now is the time to hunt your princess and women now is the time to hunt your prince who shares your common life and spiritual values. And Ladies, please don't make the mistake you will for sure regret forever by letting that "good man" get away! Be proactive, don't wait for others to act...you know what you want...go get it girl! All the very best to you all!!

El*********:

The best advice I’ve heard is “Compare yourself to who you were yesterday” and “Act as if you are watching yourself” OH AND ALSO “Treat yourself like someone your responsible for taking care of”

De*********************:

Thank you so much for this talk! I needed to hear this. I am 24 years old now and this talk gave me an Aha moment.

Ch*************:

This is exactly what I needed! TED Talks are my morning routine!

Sa******:

I agree with her points and I think some of the comments are from people who don't really understand her message.

What I take away from this is that your 20s should be about laying the foundation for the rest of your life. That dosn't mean not having fun along the way. For me, so far that has meant getting a handle on my ADHD so that I stand a chance in Univercity, it has meant focusing on my athletic endevours and spending time volunteering. Do I have a fortune to show it? No. Not yet

Fa************:

i watched this ted talk 4 years ago and made a huge change in my life because of it..Meg Jay, you saved my 20s!! <3

Sl*****:

This is assuming that everyone wants a high-powered career, family and kids as their ultimate goal. In my experience that's not the case for many people.

we***********:

Damn, this was a dark TED talk. I loved it. She has put a sense of urgency in my steps.

Ka***********:

I am super gratefull for this Tedx talk. That is soo crazy true

ka**************:

I didn't waste my 20s, but I'm still 37 and unmarried. Not everyone has the same life path, and that's OK. A few years ago I was at a wedding, lamenting the fact that I was 35 and unmarried and feeling the pressure. Then one of the bridesmaids opened up to me. "Well at least you're not 32 and divorced twice like me." And she was a counselor. Totally, totally made me rethink the way I was looking at things. Do the best you can at any age is my point, and don't always assume the grass is greener on the other side.

Ji********:

I was a drug addict with a criminal record by the time I was in my early 20's.

I sobered up and began to change my life at the age of 25. I worked as a welder as I could earn a living wage while having a criminal record.  At 29 I received a pardon from my conviction. 

I am now 35 years old and work as a Paramedic.  

I made more than a few mistakes in my youth, but that experience makes me good at what I do now.  With due respect, Meg Jay speaks as someone without that experience.  

Anyone can have power and control in their lives if they are willing to face hard truths. 

Li*************:

I'm 35, have been running my own business for 6 years now, and I have no romantic partners in the foreseeable future.
Based on my experiences, I can tell you to spend your 20's learning and improving your mind and body. Everything you do from high school through your 30s should be aimed at getting you to where you want to be when you're 40 or 50 or 60. All the various places I've lived, classes I took, universities and trade schools I went to, all contributed towards my skill set that I have now which is finally starting to generate some serious positive impact in my life.
