At 30 yrs old: the real life begin?

I believe you because it is at this age that most can have stable job, have a house

I think once my kids start school is when my real life will begin. I say that because before having kids I was pretty aimless in what I wanted and had tons of hobbies but now I know what is more important to me and feel like I can become my own individual person.

Yes, right. 30 years old is the maturity for man and woman.

Being twice that age, I tend to regard a 30 year old as being a bit on the young side...

real life begins when a person actually decides to live his life with a purpose and sense of direction. hence, we cant actually give an exact age because it varies in every person. for example, a person who matured at an early age because of poverty may start his or her life at the age of 18. however, a directionless person even reaching 40 may not realize what he wants in life. for me, my real life started when i turned 24. that is when i knew that i have to start a rein in my life.
