I know what you mean. I'm in my late 30s now and I felt that way back in my early 30s. I hope it gets better for you. For my friends in their early 40s, a good number are more established but some still live paycheck to paycheck or maxing out cards or are unable to keep a stable job. I think part of it may be the industry you work in or the economy or simply luck. It's also taking advantage of the opportunities given to you at the right time (thing is we don't really know until later if we missed an opportunity or took advantage of one.) I feel we hear a lot of the positive stories in life but in reality there are also a lot of depressing stories out there as well. The longer I live the more I realize what Forrest Gump said was indeed true.... life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're gonna git.
Hang in there though and enjoy your early 30s!

Some friends joke with me that part of their 401k retirement money is reserved for hiring when they're over 55 yo but I wouldn't be surprised.

When I turned 35 I just remember filling out surveys and I had to bubble in the 35-44 age category instead of the 21-34 or 30-34 and somehow I felt old too. I've found that I tend to feel 'old' when I hangout with friends who are younger than me. When I hangout with friends older than me, I tend to feel 'young'. Not sure if that will help or not. I'm currently 37 and I don't think of myself as old though I may do so in a few years.
As for the weight issue, I'm no help there as my weight tend to goes up and down plus or minus 20 pounds depending on the season. Hang in there bud. I've watched chub porn online and there are guys who look like they weigh 300+ who still get laid from apps and what not!

I just had my annual physical. The doctor told me that every clinical test that was done shows that I'm in excellent condition, for my age. I have little hair left on my head (but a lot in my ears and nose); I have almost no fat, so my weight is maintained by losing muscle instead; and my skin is mottled and sagging, no matter how much sunblock and moisturizer I use. I still remember the panic I felt in the WC of a train in Europe when I saw my first grey hair in the mirror when I was in my 30s: "No!! My sex life is over!" Now I see a new age spot and say, "Whatever." As long as I can see clearly, hear my favorite music over the tinnitus in my ears, remember where I put my wallet, learn how to use FaceTime for a telemedicine conference with the doctor, and still occasionally beat some young whipper-snapper on the tennis court (I won 6-3, 6-2 on Sunday!), I'll be OK.

That's weird to me. I agree with others that like your rate is your rate and if a client chooses to tip that is their choice. I honestly would be turned off if a provider said, "$xxx + tip."

I agree with azdr0710. I think the saying goes 'time in the market' is more important than 'timing the market.'

I walk for at least 45 minutes each morning and evening around the neighborhood and I like it! Nowadays it's nice to see the holiday decorations.

@orville, I think that's why he targeted teenagers or early 20s young male (straight or gay) since they tend to be more naive. Also that area seems to be a student neighborhood plus the rapist looked young and harmless. I do think the men who got lucky were those who didn't accept any drinks from the rapist.

If I were you I'd probably start with masseurs you had connected well in the past and see if they're open to doing/exploring this with you.

Rates have been increasing in some markets. But when I find someone who is good, consistent, and reliable, I‘ll go along with a slightly higher rate. With so many underwhelming and questionable providers out there, finding a great masseur is more important to me than staying within a strict rate range.
