Turning thirty is an important milestone. It is associated with being more responsible and abandoning the carefree lifestyle led during your 20s.
After turning thirty, many people start settling down, getting married and start a family. They also become settled in their careers and start pursuing promotions.
These realities may seem to make turning thirty a depressing event, but in reality it is just the beginning of a different but exciting chapter in life, a turning point for many people that brings even more joy.
It should be marked with special festivities and a thoughtful message to wish a friend or family member a happy 30th birthday is always a good idea.
