Today is the big day and have some stuff planned, going rock climbing and having a kick ass dinner with family but was wondering what other T-men do on the big day, its the big 30 so something special is surely needed just not sure what.
Ive been working around 65 hours a week for the past 6 weeks and have sort of lost all zest for fun and entertaiment, I plan on being selfish and celebrating for a few days.
any ideas on landmark things to do when you turn 30?

If someone asks me what I would like to do for my birthday and there’s something I’ve been wanting to do, I’ll say so. Otherwise I feel it’s up to others to plan.
On the other hand, it sounds like OP is wondering what others did to privately mark a milestone birthday, which is different from planning your own celebration.
Personally, I’ve never bothered. I’m of the opinion that when I identify a shortcoming in myself, NOW is the time to address it, not on New Year’s Day. By the same logic, if I have always wanted to go to Barcelona I go when I can afford/manage it, not when I’m having a “special” birthday. Life is short, or can be. Now is the time to live/love/climb mountains, not on July 17 of 2014 or whatever.
I agree with Emily, never had to pick a day to address my issues or wants/needs as I do it everyday. LOts of people havejust xpected me to have a huge crazy day planned of wildness and crazy fun activities and I feel disatisfied as I dont really have any of that planned nor have I ever. I would love to fly to vegas or some shit but waaay to expensive.
Was just looking for ideas as I feel I should mark it somehow but I am sure whatever happens I will feel I did not live it up to what I should have.

Why? “Going rock climbing and having a kick ass dinner with family” sounds like a pretty good day. What does it have to live up to? What is a 30th birthday supposed to be? Or any birthday, for that matter.
It will have whatever meaning you assign it, as is the case with most things in life. “I spent it with people who love me” doesn’t strike me as regrettable. “I’m never satisfied,” on the other hand, does.

I did something for my 1st, 6th, an 21st birthday. The other’s I forgot…(almost forgot my 21st and barely made it to the bars and had to con the bartender to let me order one drink since I just turned 21).
