According to Askmen.com here are 10 things that guys should stop doing when they are 30... I'd say 20! (I'll also add in how I am ranking on each of these in quotes)
#10.) EATING FAST FOOD. You’ll start feeling the effects once your metabolism slows down. And almost anything you make at home is better for you than fast food.
>> (I LOVE fast food but i understand that I need to give it a rest, especially right now that i am trying to lose weight)
#9.) DRIVING WRECKLESSLY. About a million people die from car accidents every year, and about 50 million more people are injured. And men tend to drive more aggressively than women do.
>>(I do drive aggressively when i have to but I don't drive wrecklessly unless I am in a wicked rush, so I would say I'm doing good with this one!)
#8.) PLAYING VIDEO GAMES ALL DAY. Playing games on your cell phone while you’re waiting in the doctor’s office is one thing. But if you’re always tethered to your PlayStation 3 . . . it’s time to grow up.
>>( I don't play video games anymore. I don't even have the current pop console! :)
#7.) LIVING IN A DORM ROOM. Not literally, but if you’re over 30, you shouldn’t have Grateful Dead posters on the wall, pizza boxes on the floor, and empty beer cans scattered all around your apartment.
>>( my room is very much plain but I'm not too creative with design. so I guess that's good)
#6.) GETTING A TATTOO. This one’s debatable, but AskMen.com makes a good point: If you get a BAD tattoo when you’re FORTY, you can’t really explain it away as something you did when you were young and stupid.
>>(I need to hurry up and get my tats! lol)
#5.) BINGE DRINKING. Again, when you’re 22, you can blame it on being young and crazy. But there’s a point where, if you’re binge drinking all the time, it starts to become an ILLNESS. And if you haven’t worried about it all yet, hitting 30 is a good time to start.
>> (i don't drink much so I'm good here)
#4.) LIVING PAYCHECK-TO-PAYCHECK. This one’s easier said than done. But once you’re in your 30′s, you need to figure out a way to save whatever you can each month and prepare for things like kids, layoffs, and health issues.
>> (now THIS is a tough one, I'm bad with money. I definitely need to work on this one!)
#3.) WORKING AT A DEAD-END JOB. If you’ve been at the same job for five years and they haven’t given you a promotion yet, they might NEVER give you one. So it might be time to look for a job where you can start climbing the ladder.
>> ( About to go to school for this one soon!)
#2.) KNOWING NOTHING ABOUT POLITICS. In American demographics, the term “youth vote” means voters between the ages of 18 and 29. So if you’re over 30, you’re an adult who should know something about how the world works.
>> (I know a little bit about politics but i need to brush up on them since we're coming close to an election here!)
#1.) DRESSING LIKE A SLOB. It doesn’t take much time, effort, or even money to dress like an adult. You just have to care about how you present yourself. And you have to realize that more is expected of you now than when you were 20.
(I don't know if i dress like a slob, I guess I should start trying to dress a little better:)
About Me

- I love writing. If you want to know anything else just ask me or else read up! I have two blogs ("A Pen Itching To Bleed Onto Paper" and "The Rebirth of J"). One of my blogs (A Pen...) is updated more frequently than the other. "The Rebirth” is more of a story I am writing with my life whereas "A Pen" would be my random thoughts past, present, and future in this unfolding journey I call life. If this is your first time reading my blog, please visit Post #2 for the month of April 2008 in my "A Pen" blog archives... Thanks!

I dont think I will ever stop eating fast food.
I love this list...I'm in my forties and my husband in his fifties and we still do a couple of these things. Fast food does something completely different in the body than when you are in your twenties or even your thirties.
I think Adam Sandler said it best when he stated, "Enjoy the metabolism while you can, kid. I used to be able to eat anything and not worry about it, now i drink a chocolate shake and my ass jiggles for like a week!" lol
Good list of things that should be moderate, or things that should be done . good luck with the ones you're working on.
