52 Before 30 Challenge
“Actually, I think that turning 29 was more difficult, because once I turned 29, I anticipated 30 for the whole year, so by the time 30 came around it really wasn’t that bad.”
— Michelle Pfeiffer.
Well said, Michelle. My friend Anna and I also planned the whole year before turning 30 to make sure we were well prepared.
We came up with a fun / #adulting list with the help of the World Wide Web to knock out things we should probably do or have by the time we go over the hill (turn 30).
Here’s the list, in whatever order you want to do them in:
Buy s(t)ocks - Thanks to Anna’s typo, we bought socks first.
