Turning 30 comes with all types of societal and family pressures to achieve particular life milestones such as marriage, owning a home and starting a family. New research conducted by Blossom Hill found that 77% of Brits aged 25-35 have felt this pressure to reach certain life milestones by the time they turned 30. Most often this pressure comes from two main sources: social media (44%) and our parents (44%).
Those traditional life milestones are now considered outdated by the younger generation. Getting married, buying your forever home and starting a family are no longer considered realistic for those turning 30. Instead, 84 percent of those surveyed claim big milestones have been replaced by smaller more achievable goals and “experiences”, with ‘doing something you feel passionate about’ the top goal (46 percent) for the 20 and 30 somethings polled.
Collaborating with TV and Radio presenter Laura Whitmore, Blossom Hill wine is celebrating its 30th birthday this summer and they want to quash these tired stereotypes and help you live life on your own terms. Having got married, had a child, written a book and landed one of the biggest presenting jobs in the country, Laura is living proof that life certainly doesn’t end at 30.
