The most exciting part about your 30’s is that your life is on track and you can put aside the worries of finishing your education, getting a job, making a living, and being able to pay the rent. Instead, focus shifts to finding a short- or long-term companion. A 20-something’s main concern is becoming self-sufficient: getting from a GED or finishing grad school to finally landing that dream job where you are no longer expected to make coffee runs for the rest of the office. Instead, your thirties are the gateway to climbing the corporate ladder of professional hierarchy and banking in on the raises that come along with it. Suddenly, a 30-something finds a brimming bank account and can afford J. Crew over Express, a ritzy tapas restaurant over T.G.I.Friday’s, imported beer over Natty Ice, and the solitude of a bachelor pad without sharing rent with pesky roommates. Moreover, men can afford a high class woman while women can afford their accounts with MutualArrangements.com. All of these things that money can buy help in obtaining the things that money cannot buy such as independence and peace of mind. In your thirties, you know what you want and you have the means to go get it. 

 While 30-somethings enjoy greater responsibilities at work, they are relatively unburdened in their private lives. Most single professionals in their thirties have not yet had children, giving them greater leeway to stay out late, invite friends and companions home, and spend more money on the luxurious pleasures of life. Also, the parents of people in their thirties are generally still self-sufficient and do not yet require the frequent attention of their children.

 Apart from finances and independence, your thirties are psychologically and physically ideal as well. Mentally, 30-somethings are old enough to be mature when the situation warrants, but also young enough to get away with having a carefree attitude. Physically, men become more distinguished-looking, while women are still beautiful and youthful but also sophisticated. This makes a prime opportunity to date both older and younger people. A 30-something man might rely upon his new wealth to become a distinguished Sugar Daddy to a college girl. A woman in her 30’s might also use her sexuality and money to play Cougar or Sugar Mommy to a younger man. After all, women reach their sexual prime in their thirties, making it appealing and exciting to date younger men. However, a woman in her 30s is still young enough to assume the role of Sugar Baby to a mature man. Any way the cards are dealt, your thirties are sure to be thrilling.
