How many things change between 20 and 30 years
The 30 years are what is called the first "turning point" of one's life. It will also be because of the "deadlines" that start knocking on the door, such as finding a permanent partner, having children, having found a good job. Things that are still often experienced as predetermined milestones to be reached, because friends and colleagues are perhaps already "settled". After all, how many times have you heard that up to 30 it's all a climb and after 30 it's all downhill?
But these are just old social rules, which we can also forget to look at all the positive aspects of this phase of life! Compared to the time of adolescence and early youth, made up of shocks and even radical changes, at 30 the contours of the personality emerge, tastes, aspirations and ideas clearly emerge. A purpose, a goal, a life project begin to take shape in a decisive way. One is no longer suspended among a thousand possibilities. Dedication, commitment, energy characterize this time, in which, moreover, there is an ever greater awareness of one's choices.
If you have already blown the 30 candles you can agree with us, but if you are close to us, you can mentally prepare yourself for 5 things that will surely change once the "entas" are completed.

1. They start calling you "Lady" and calling you "Her"
Let's clarify one thing immediately, for a young twenty year old everything that is over 25 years old is "old". No distinction is even made between 30, 40, 50 years ... for them you are still a "lady", whether you hide the very first wrinkles under diva glasses or you have just had a miraculous anti-aging treatment.
And while you are fighting tooth and nail to keep any possible semblance of youth, sooner or later that "good morning lady" arrives. And when it arrives it is never extremely pleasant, quite the contrary. But you certainly can't get mad, because that young and naïve guy is just trying to be kind and respectful. The good news? From this point until they ask you if you want to sit in their seat on public transport, at least another 30 years will pass. Courage!
2. You don't just live in the present, but you start thinking about your future
At the age of 20, the future plans that can be made are probably those related to what to do on Saturday night or where to go on a summer vacation.Things start to change when you reach 30 and when aspirations begin to take shape linked to the desire to build a solid future in order to be independent and fulfill your aspirations, whether they are work, family or both.
The key word of this period is: empowerment. This does not mean that you can no longer have fun or spend carefree moments, but you will seriously begin to take care of yourself and your loved ones and protect yourself in the field of the profession.
A good way to simplify your life in this sense is to take into consideration insurance policies, useful for dealing with the unexpected that can happen to us: accidents that prevent us from carrying out work, reimbursements for specialist visits that may be necessary, theft at home etc.
Of course, we hope that we will never have to face these situations, but to be protected and sleep more peacefully, a good insurance policy can promptly support us in case of need.
Insurance planning should be aimed at protecting both your person and your family unit, offering services that can be customized according to individual needs and your lifestyle: if you are a career woman you will probably be interested in different aspects than those that are most important to you. to young mothers: for this reason being able to "build" a tailor-made policy is an added value. From health coverage that provides priority access to selected facilities or the reimbursement of specialist visits, to the protection of Human Capital, understood as the ability to produce income, even in the event of accidents that can compromise our economic situation: they are all aspects to be evaluated and protected.
If you've never thought about it, never mind. The right time has come to consider this possibility as well. If you are interested, you can discover all the insurance solutions offered by Banca Mediolanum that address precisely these aspects.

3. Disco until dawn? Better a good movie or a weekend in the SPA
At 20, going to the disco is an imperative and even more so is to do the wee hours and maybe come home when the sun is rising. After the age of 30 this happens less and less.
Energy and stamina fade, and if at 20 it was a weekend in Ibiza, at 30 it was a weekend in the SPA; if at 20 it was a night in the disco at 30 it becomes an evening at a friends house.
And it's not so bad, if you think about it, because you are getting to know new forms of fun, equally satisfying, but different. The ideal evening becomes a movie with friends on the sofa at home sipping a good wine and eating sushi while commenting on the film or a relaxing weekend for two in some mountain refuge where you can rediscover the pleasure of being in nature or soaking in a thermal pool ...
4. At 20 He is your whole life, at 30 you first of all
Let's face it, 20 years are the period of the first real love stories. Those that tear our heart out, that make us beat and for which we would be willing to sacrifice everything and everyone and even to revolutionize our lives.
At 30, music changes and so does the awareness of how much we are worth, of how important our happiness is and of how much a little healthy selfishness can only do us good.
Always putting the needs and requirements of others in front of our own can easily lead us into the terrain of frustration and dissatisfaction. Fortunately, at the age of 30, we begin to understand that to be comfortable with others - whether they are partners, family members, friends - first of all we must be comfortable with ourselves. This means that we begin to take care of ourselves more, not only on an aesthetic level, but also on a healthy level and we begin to prefer a healthy lifestyle, made up of good habits and some beneficial pampering to give ourselves.
5. Loneliness is no longer scary
Loneliness at 20 seems fascinating, but it is also scary. On the one hand synonymous with strength, on the other a terrifying precipice. But then it happens to be alone, and loneliness comes as a slap, sometimes violent, and we discover that in that space, in reality, there is our whole world.
Understanding this is an incredible achievement that marks 30 years: you can be single, there is nothing wrong with being alone. Indeed, on many occasions, solitude is the best place to find yourself.
Being single at 30 means knowing how to love each other, much more than at 20. Because at 30 it is more like a choice, and there is nothing that makes us more human, and at the same time strong, than being able to choose to be ourselves .
