" 1. Aren&amp;#039;t you so freaked out about turning 30? Nope! Any big birthday carries a weight with it, but life doesn&amp;#039;t stop when you&amp;#039;re 30. In fact, I have tons of fabulous friends who are already in their 30s and doing even more amazing things \u2014 with confidence \u2014 than they were in their 20s. Mostly I just want to be them when I grow up! 2. Don&amp;#039;t you think you&amp;#039;re too old for that? Grown men play video games all the time. George Bush just jumped out of a freaking plane for his 90th birthday. There&amp;#039;s no age limit on your driver&amp;#039;s license for going out dancing until 4 a.m., or anything really.  3. (If you&amp;#039;re single) You&amp;#039;ll find someone soon. They always come when you least expect it. This may sound helpful in theory, but it just comes out patronizing every time. Last time I checked, there was no law against being single if I want to be, and if I don&amp;#039;t, you&amp;#039;re just making me feel worse about the soul-sucking agony that is dating in your late 20s.  4. (If you have a significant other) So when are you getting married? When we&amp;#039;re ready to. Bye.  5. (If you&amp;#039;re married) So when are you having kids? At its most basic level, this is just a rude question, and for many people the answer will be the same as No. 4&amp;#039;s. But for another great many people, the answer to this question could be quite emotionally loaded: infertility, a history of miscarriage you don&amp;#039;t know about, or maybe, quite simply, they don&amp;#039;t want children.  5. Don&amp;#039;t you hate still living with a roommate? If I wanted to live alone, I would. The financial savings that come with a roommate are totally worth the occasional inconveniences \u2014 and for many people, it&amp;#039;s still a financial necessity. Being in our late 20s means we&amp;#039;re old enough not to be offended when someone just wants to sit in her room and be alone some nights. Plus, if you&amp;#039;re lucky enough to live with a good friend, it&amp;#039;s an amazing kind of time together that you&amp;#039;ll never get to enjoy again.  6. By the time I was your age, I already had two kids. That&amp;#039;s great if that&amp;#039;s what you wanted when you were my age. But at this point in my life, I&amp;#039;d rather take a vacation to Australia.  7. Your generation really got screwed, huh? Yes, it did! People in their late 20s graduated into a recession with tons of debt from college. This is an unhelpful reminder that many people are not where they thought they&amp;#039;d be 10 years ago.  8. When do you think you&amp;#039;re going to stop renting and buy something? When the Debt Fairy comes along and pays off my student loans. 9. Does it make you feel bad that [younger person] has what you don&amp;#039;t? Sometimes, yes, thanks for asking! It&amp;#039;s hard not to feel a little bit bad for myself when my Facebook news feed is literally only weddings and babies some weekends \u2014 but then I remember my cool job and my fun weekend at the beach and my dog and all the fun stuff I do have. 10. I can&amp;#039;t believe you already have wrinkles/gray hair. Unfriended.
