is it possible to pursue your dreams when you are pushing 30?

There are many people 30+ only beginning their undergraduate education.  It is not too late for you.

It is never too late to start anything.  Go ahead and do it, and enjoy it. Isn't that what life is about?

Yes\n\n1)  Get a good education in a field where there is a lot of expected future demand\n\n2)  Set a long-term financial goal (financial independence at age 45, for example), with interim benchmark goals and make financial decisions that are consistent with your goals (Example:  Which is more consistent with your goal to be rich:  Buying a new BMW or a used Honda Civic - both will get you from Point A to Point B).\n\n3)  Make sure your are insured against catastrophic losses, but don't waste money by overinsuring.  Example:  A health crisis can wipe out all but the most wealthy.  Therefore, always have health coverage, but with a high a deductible as you can tolerate in order to minimize the ongoing cost.\n\n3) If you're married or plan to marry, do everything possible to maintain a good and happy marriage.  Divorce is very, very costly.  Also, having a spouse or partner who shares your long-term financial goals makes becoming wealthy much easier.\n\n4)  Save and invest a healthy percentage of your take-home pay starting at an early age and taking maximum advantage of  tax-advantaged alternatives (IRA's, 401ks, etc.)\n\n5)  Invest your savings in a group of stock mutual funds that have a good long-term track record and consistent portfolio management\n\nOf course there are other ways to become rich like starting your own business that turns out successful. However, the way I've outlined is a more likely avenue to future wealth.

No way!!! Just look at the handle you chose, "sexy&hot". Do you really want that cold bucket of water at this point of life and carrer. I´m 41, married and father of a 4 1/2 yr old girl. For us, it had been an amazing experience. But by the time she was born, we were debtless homeowners, with established careers and education, and had pretty much traveled every place we wanted to. Believe me, at 28 you´ve really just barely made it out of your biochemical / emotional adolescence! Live a little, get your all your stuff together and, when the time is right, you will make a great parent.\nBut bear in mind, once you become a parent, even "dinner and a movie" might be impossible for quite a while (yrs maybe). You´ll miss out on a lot of things and might even resent the child or simply be a little neglectful (very common of child-parents). So, to sum it up, WAIT!

Sure. It's never too late to have a career in TV or media at 52.  Why don't you look in the paper? At least look in the ads and see what they have to offer. If you have the experience, you're fine. But you might have to start at a entry- or lower-level position.  Some might offer training. But you might expect a lot of rejections.

I'd say it depends on what you want to study and why. If you want to study for self-growth that's one thing. If you're doing it for career and financial advancement, you should carefully see how much money is required and how much extra money you would make from this new career. You probably will be working another 30 years so 35 is not that old.\n\nI advise you not to focus on your age so much for any life decisions. In America those limits are coming down left and right. I do have friends who finished school in their mid-thirties or went back for masters degrees in their 30s, 40s or later. The papers usually have a story of some 80+ year old who just got a college degree.\n\nDon't let anyone pour negativity into your head with "you're too old to do X." Make that a life policy. You've got to get all the facts you can and then trust your instincts.\n\nI must stress getting all the facts. When I went back to get my Masters degree in my mid-thirties, I found out about some money saving options after it was too late. Talk to lots of people who go to the schools that interest you as well as the people who work for the school.\n\nGood Luck!

Drop out and take the chance.  It'd be interesting to see how much you've made in your life when you're 60, compared to me.

Not at all! You have years of working ahead of you and you should spend them doing something you enjoy. Lots of people have changed careers in their 40s and 50s.

You should be saving and investing, but if your goal is to be rich at 30, you need to establish and run your own business.  You need to find something to sell, a service to provide, something you can give to others, who will pay you!\n\nLearn business.  Not necessarily corporate finance, but day-to-day business planning, accounting, law, etc.  You need to know how to create a business plan, so people will finance you (lend you $$ to start).  \n\nBe prepared to sleep in your car.  Be prepared to be seen as a useless dreamer with no chance to succeed.  Be prepared that you will do everything right, and have it fail anyways.  It happens.\n\nYou may fail miserably, but this will raise your get-rich-by-30 chances from 0 (winning the lottery) to maybe 5%, maybe even 25%, who knows?

30 isn't any different than 20 other than you are 10 years smarter,and age is what you make it. You are as young as you feel so make it count everyday.

yes its too young to consider getting married, most definitely, planning for your education and future however are wise moves. definitely wait until after college, you have so much left to experience and who knows what will happen? people grow and change alot at your age and i promise you that neither one of you is now who you will be at 30 or 25 even. if its going to work and you are going to stay together you will stay together through college and you can get married when you are in a position to make it work and support yourselves and your family.

I'm 31 and I attend classes 3-4 times a week sometimes more. You just have to push yourself. Just because you have entered your 30's does not mean you have entered old age!
