30 Before 30: Everything I Want To Achieve Before My Next Milestone

January 21, 2023Lifestyle

Am I 26 while writing this? Yes. Almost 27? Absolutely. Still gonna crush these goals by 30? Hell yeah!

Over the many blogs I have had in my life I’ve always come back to an X before Y list. If you’re an OG blog follower, you’d remember my 25 before 25 list. While most of what was written on that list didn’t happen, I am FIRED UP for my newest milestone list… 30 before 30!

Here is a list of 30 goals I would absolutely love to achieve before I turn 30 in 2026. I love doing these types of blogs because they’re a living list. Aka, as I complete these things I’ll be sure to update you along the way! So let me not hold you up any longer… welcome to my very own 30 before 30.

  1. Write (and pass) the LSAT
  2. Buy or build my dream home
  3. Raise my credit score to 800+ and don’t let it go below 700
  4. Contribute to my retirement monthly
  5. Contribute to my TFSA monthly
  6. Invest monthly & make enough in profit to pay my mortgage every month
  7. Create a course or coaching program about the business of being on social media
  8. Buy myself a Birkin, baby!
  9. Commit to strength training 3 days a week
  10. Buy myself a brand new car

  14. Create my dream studio space for the podcast, YouTube, etc.
  15. Hire (the right) team (and afford it) in my business
  16. Hit 3M overall podcast downloads
  17. Treat myself to one luxury personal day per quarter
  18. Get my certification in cocktailing or wine
  19. Learn more about production & broadcasting for traditional TV and film
  20. Be on some kind of reality or TV show

  23. Go on one luxury, resort-style trip to a beautiful city
  24. Walk in a runway show at NYFW
  25. Model for at least one big campaign as a curve model
  26. Hire a personal chef/professional meal prep person

  29. Craft my signature YGK shot to celebrate all my wins with
  30. Invest in high quality, gold jewelry I can wear for the rest of my life

IT’S DONE?? CAN U BELIEVE IT?? 📚 literally s IT’S DONE?? CAN U BELIEVE IT?? 📚

literally sobbing on the floor right now because THE LIBRARY BUILD IS DONE!

obvi we still have to add some furniture, touch up any mistakes, and actually put books into here but can you believe that 3 weeks ago this was just a blank wall?

mastering the @wagnerspraytech paint gun was probably the best thing to ever happen to me & the @ryobi_canada nail gun has been such a welcome addition to my growing little power tool family (plus the multi use battery situation is the coolest thing ever and I will simply not shut up about it lol)

next up is hardware, styling, and NEW FURNITURE! 

still trying to decide if adding overhead museum lighting is the mood… what do you think? lmk in a comment!

giving myself grace >> beating myself up today ma giving myself grace >> beating myself up

today marks the first day of me finally getting back into my morning stretch routine after MONTHS off…

if you’ve been around for a while you’d know that I was a dancer & cheerleader for years growing up and I always used to prioritize daily stretching to keep my flexibility/mobility and also keep my joints happy

so what happened…?

life, really! Deb came back from deployment, I wanted to spend all my time with her. It was the summer, I was spending all my time out of the house. I bought a house, I was (and am currently) spending all my time renovating… and it’s exhausting!

but something inside of me said “just try again” and so I did

I know starting over is soo hard. getting back into a routine is hard too. but incase you’ve also been feeling this way and feel like you need to be told or you need permission… it’s okay to stop and start again. it’s okay to start back at zero. it’s okay to struggle through… as long as you just try again 🤍

what’s something you’ve been meaning to restart & just haven’t? let’s motivate each other in the comments ✨
