Eating whatever you feel like even if it's not good for you, and not getting enough sleep.

Bad habits happen in people of all ages, not just those in their 30s.

Having babies

Having children

Long Lunches

L'exigence envers soi-même. Parfois ils ont le sentiment qu'ils ont trop perdu le temps à faire des choses qui ne les ont pas aidé. Alors ils se mettent à la recherche de la maturité en tout. Ils donnent l'impression de vouloir se rattraper.

Agree

Handed to them

They don't want to work for what they need want it ga ded to them

Yep we spend hours working for items that are supposed too save us time

I was drinking pretty heavily in my 20's but now I'm in my late 30's and i haven't had drink in 9 going on 10 years.. I didn't and don't hangout with anyone I don't like and they don't like me ,I sure don't care what they like and what they don't . But I was still kind and I wasn't rude.. Edited 02-Dec-24 21:04pm

Drinking

I see them becoming more sedentary and getting less exercise.

Not investing for their retirement.

Thinking they can still eat like they did in their thirties only to find themselves gaining a lot of weight.

On your death bed are you going to complain you DIDN"T work enough??

“ habit, in psychology, any regularly repeated behaviour that requires little or no thought and is learned rather than innate. A habit—which can be part of any activity, ranging from eating and sleeping to thinking and reacting—is developed through reinforcement and repetition.”

Thinking they will live forever without following a healthy lifestyle

Thinking they are smarter than any body over 40

Aussies on average... are working less hours... than ten years ago, and so not everyone works 40 hours these days. Those in the 20s and 30s are not working as hard as other generations were.

Spot on! People keep thinking that life's all about "Keeping up with the Jones'! Stop doing this, Wake Up and smell the Roses!! Live your life. Enjoy your Life! We only get one chance!

No longer capable of having children. Is this all about wasting money on fashion? Being pregnant could be thousands times more important than fashion?

being rude to family members and so called friends

putting others ahead of themselves, you cannot please everyone, so don't even try.

Being rude to their parents. Expecting parents to look after their children and babysit on demand.

I have no idea because by the time I was 30 I had 3 children and I was living overseas. I had no time for navel gazing.

Looking at super and adjusting it accordingly

Becoming Politicians.

If I had the money to indulge myself I would. I had a skin cancer check, ok? The rest of the money goes to bills. Too much on my shoulders.

Some people in their 30's make a habit of thinking they are too old to go back to school. Like if they had to finish high school and go to a job or somw other obstacles that they allow to block them from going to college for instance and or if they had to drop out of high school for some reason. Go on back to school get that education no matter what. Just do it. I know it's not gonna be easy, but there is always a way.

not paying attention to their Superannuation

I'm not chasing anything. But it's true I seem to be working harder. My problem is my place of work doesn't replace anyone when they leave or retire so less people are doing the work want more people used to do. and if I complain???..."Well you can always get another job if you don't like it here." is my reply. Great/thanks.

If you have not made it in your thirties. Don't sweet it your forties are still to come, that's when you will really make it. So enjoy your 30s.

I agree working toi hard and too much. Missing out on spending time with your family. Time you cant get back.

Got to be there. Got to get that job.Got to lose/gain weight, stop smoking Oh Heck!! - forgot Mum and Dad's anniversary, birthday, and so on and on.

Start to feel their age……..lol

Maybe too busy trying to live in the fast lane.

Definitely extra work, money, ambition, "entitled" & seem to forget about family & connection with self.

Greed, Selfishness, Self-interest, the belief that "I AM Entitled" when we are entitled to Nothing. Australia now has the dubious title of "Thr Nation which is Building the World's Biggest Houses" Why? Do people, unless they are actually breeding a huge family, really need that Mega McMansion with 7 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, a garage big enough for 5 or 6 cars, A Family Room. a Formal Sitting Room, Dining Room and a Kitchen with enough equipment for a restaurant?

im a fairly basic person habit-wise I picked up a taste for good bourbon, that's a vice I enjoyed then and I enjoy it now, it makes life simple for a man who has nothing and wants nothing you can always get him a decent bottle of bourbon, it doesn't phase me if I don't have any, impressing people was never an interest of mine I have always spoken my mind to my detriment on some occasions but that's ok, accumulating things is another pass time i passed on, as a family we look to experiences rather than items

WOW, what a question and answers. THE AI is very negative and divisive

all the listed ones .I cannot add more

You are working too much overtime to buy things you normally would not buy to impress others.

They stop listening and start demanding.

Being reclusive

No time for anything. Busy with 4 young children.

Drugs and alcohol.

If they are still living at home, want everything served up to them on a golden platter .... no reciprocation whatsoever ....

lusting

overthinking and thinking they are the best things in the world

People think the know more than others and consider anther peoples optionsEdited 02-Dec-24 12:49pm

Stress eating

I developed all my bad habits by the time I was 18

Not enough exercise & too much fun

Chasing a dream, missing out on life as it's happening.

I have no clue as at my age then I was too busy working so could not afford to stop

Whinging about Baby Boomers🤣

Less physically active except for work. Never stop exercising. Try to stay fit.

borrowing more money than they should

Smoking

Worked way too many hours,mandatory overtime for a company that up and left when the government money stopped

Drugs

Drugs

from the photo I see, four of the five people are slouching, and from the looks of them they do not think much of themselves. Very bad habits people acquire when they leave home.

Sleeping to much, not enjoying life, not balancing health, work, home. Spending to much money, not appreciating what they have.expecting to much from co workers

Listen to others and not to myself Edited 02-Dec-24 10:41am

Moving back home LOL

Getting remarried.😁

I was busy raising four children and a stay at home mum in my thirties

I think that family is more important than money - yes it nice to have nice things but its nicer to have a nice family. I worked while my children were little but only because I could work at home so was always there for the little ones.

People buying what they want not what they need

Yes definitely

Procrastination. My kids in their 30's admit to it. They got it from me. 🤪

I worked to much and traveled, missing to much family time.

I worked all the time in my 30s. I wish I still was able to but I’m too sickly now.

HI THERE Hanno

Hard to know We’re all different Work Family

I worked for the same company for 30 years and ended up being a Production Supervisor for quite a lot of those years, days were very busy and have no regrets. I think these days some people don't have the same work ethic and are self centered, it's all about them. Edited 02-Dec-24 17:48pm

TY Anne S

In my 30's was 50 years ago. Busy raising a family & working. Times these days are different to ours. You had laybys which you paid off a little each week. No credit cards then. Far too easy these days to spend what you don't have and end up in serious strife. I think it's more like trying to live up to what the Tom,Dick & Harry's are buying. Edited 02-Dec-24 08:41am

For some it is buying everything on credit card, getting into heavy debt instead of saving for the items first as I was taught to do. To me doing that was a reward to myself. I have never had a Credit Card

Jealousy, greediness, narcissism attitude.

I agree…working too hard and getting too far in debt. My daddy never ulnar credit because he believed that if you couldn’t pay cash for it, then you didn’t need it.

self love

In their 30s, people often face new responsibilities and lifestyle changes, which can lead to developing certain habits that aren’t the healthiest. Here are a few common ones: 1. Neglecting Physical Activity Busy schedules, careers, and family responsibilities can push exercise to the back burner, leading to a more sedentary lifestyle. 2. Poor Eating Habits Opting for convenience foods or skipping meals due to time constraints, which can lead to weight gain or energy crashes. 3. Ignoring Sleep Needs Juggling work, relationships, and personal goals often leads to cutting corners on sleep, even though it’s essential for health and productivity. 4. Letting Stress Go Unchecked High levels of stress, coupled with a lack of coping mechanisms, can lead to burnout or anxiety issues. 5. Postponing Regular Checkups Many people avoid routine doctor visits or health screenings, thinking they’re still too young for serious health concerns. 6. Over-Reliance on Caffeine or Alcohol Using coffee to stay energized or alcohol to unwind after a long day can become excessive. 7. Social Isolation As people focus more on family or work, they may drift away from friends or social networks, which can lead to loneliness. 8. Falling Into Financial Complacency Avoiding investments, saving, or planning for retirement, thinking they have plenty of time to handle it later. 9. Not Prioritizing Hobbies or Passions Forgetting personal interests or creative outlets in favor of work and responsibilities. 10. Negative Self-Talk or Fixed Mindsets Becoming overly critical of oneself or believing it’s too late to change careers, pursue a dream, or improve certain habits.

For me it was trying to keep up with the Jones' with material things and working too hard at a job I loathed at a company that didn't care about my well being because it paid good money. I was too worried about what everyone else thought of me, never saying no and trying to please others at the expense of doing what was right for me.

Some do and some don't Your right life is too short. Be your self and don't let anyone tell you other wise.

That I should I have listen to my gut

hi BLACK LIVES MATTER-TY

For me it was mostly head down, bum up and mind my own business and treat it as an end to a means. Having a peaceful day was and added bonus.

Intolerance Cat Stevens read the words father and son.

For myself it was never saying no. I took all the hours I could get. I had a drive to work,good work ethic and a family so when I was asked to do someone else's job or cover someone else's shift I did. Only problem with that is you do it often enough and you are the " go to person". I did back to back 12hour shifts,put me in a higher tax bracket,and ended up being paid very little more than my normal wage. A loophole also meant that taking someone else's position I wasn't getting overtime rates. It snow balled,and I was more worried about how I was perceived at work than my own health. Your own health and well being should take preference. If you don't look after you,you can't look after others.

Apologies for trying to reach out. Zygote, my emotional support animal has died yesterday.

I dont really know I havent seen any but then again I am 74 so dont remeber what it was like when I was 30

Hell, that is 61 years ago so I forget.

food, food, food

In my 30s, I developed the habit of grinding my teeth at night. I had to buy a night brace.

Accumulating too much debt.

Sex, drugs and rock and roll.

Addictions
