The late twenties to early thirties is a time when the early twenties' dream is reevaluated. This is an urgent time. There's a desire to get settled into a home, make sure the career is coming along, and possess a sense of identity in the community and with friends. During the twenties time is often regarded in a future sense. A lot of life is yet to be lived.
People are able to put up with limitations because they expect the future to be better.
Everything has easy, precise answers. Life is very busy, but it hasn't become terribly complex yet. Not until the person has moved into the middle years will he begin to wrestle with life's deep and perplexing issues which often do not have simple answers. The early adult years are marked by hope, a futuristic outlook, a fairly clear-cut dream, and a great deal of energy. Generally, the thirties and the fifties are the productive years, whereas the late thirties and early forties are often the anxious years.
