The 30s are the new 20s

1) 'Minimum age' doesn't faze you but you secretly hope to get carded at the door.
2) 20 year-olds look to you to be sugar-mummies/daddies.
3) 60 year-olds want to be YOUR sugar-mummies/daddies.
4) Binge-drinking? Been there, spewed that.
5) No more supermarket sushi.
6) You can pronounce 'Riesling' and 'Chardonnay' correctly... and you can afford at least a Moet or a Veuve Clicquot.
7) You know that it's more often "Wham! Bam! Thank you, mam!" than "Wham! Bam! Wedding band!".
8) L33tsp3Ak AnnOys d3 h3ll OUt Of U.
9) When someone flashes you, you don't scream and run away. You study... and then give a critique.
10) It's YOUR credit card.
11) Those aren't wrinkles! They're character lines!
12) Curfew schmurfew.
13) Bigger and better toys
14) Cellulite and beer gut - unavoidable unless you have surgery.
15) You don't fall in love 20 times an hour... with different people.
16) For the girls - Britney, Paris, Lindsay, Nicole, Mary-Kate and Ashley aren't your style icons.
17) For the guys - Britney, Paris, Lindsay, Nicole, Mary-Kate and Ashley - take them home for the night but not HOME to meet Mum.
18) Your music then (and now for some...): Belinda Carlisle, early Madonna, Michael Jackson, Rick Astley, Kylie Minogue, Bananarama, Whitney Houston, Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, OMD, Pink Floyd... there's more for sure.
19) Your TV shows: A-Team, Battlestar Galactica, Macgyver, TJ Hooker, Hunter, CHIPS, Starsky & Hutch, Magnum PI, Star Trek... etc...
And last but by no means least:
20) You get it. Or if you don't got it, you hide it better than when you were in your 20s.
