Being thirty is a major milestone for many: it’s when people are starting to see results in their career after years of hard work, and when most people would be starting a new family. In fact, with the amount of new responsibilities, it could well be the turning point in a person’s life—but if you continue to have these ten expectations, you’ll suffer instead of sailing through the new life.
Expect things to come to you
Be it love or money, you can no longer expect them to be attracted to you like magnet. Yes, when you were young, you might have unlimited suitors and lots of job offers, but once you’re thirty, you need to settle down and find the love and the job. In other words, no more play play.

Expect people to help you
I don’t know when this sense of entitlement is going to end, but if you intend to end it, end it at thirty. You’ll thank yourself for it.
Expect to be always right
The moment you take responsibility for your action and say, “I’m wrong”, you’ve just become an adult.
Expect the Government to support you
By now, you should know that no one owes you a living. In fact, you will owe your new family a living instead.
Expect others to solve your problems for you
As you grow older, people come to you to solve their problems, not the other way around. Learn to be a problem solver instead.
Expect others to support you
This is the worst. You’re thirty, for God’s sake! Grow some balls, will you?
Expect reality to be a good place
With thirty years of life experience, if you still think that life is a bed of roses, you’ve got to be living in a cave.
Expect things to be easy
Whether it’s work or relationship, if you still think that things would be easy because someone will always be holding your hand to guide you through the difficult periods, you’re so, so wrong.
Expect to be spoon-fed
No offence, but there’re still many thirty-year-olds expecting other to spoon-feed them—it’s like the word “learning” is not in their dictionary.

Expect still receive allowances
You should be giving allowances, not receive them, my thirty-year-old friend.
Here’s what NCMPs are, and what to expect after GE2025:
