10 Reasons Being Single in Your 30s Is the Best

Eyeball your bucket list. Is there a city on it that you've always wanted to move to? Does your job have an opening in a new state or country that's making your heart flutter with interest? Since you don't have a person holding you back to the city you live in, you can pack up and live anywhere for a chunk of your 30s.

Some of the best people you can learn from in your life are the ones who are living a different life than you are. Turn to your friends for relationship advice, and learn from some of the mistakes they made that either led them to get a divorce or spend a lot of cash on couples therapy.

In your 30s, time seems to slow down a whole lot. You won't find yourself as eager to jump into relationships or date just for the sake of dating. You'll know more about the kind of person you're looking for and you won't waste your time with people who don't meet that well-set standard.

Look at the money in your bank account and give yourself a pat on the back for saving up some cash. Spend your money how you want to spend it without having to worry about picking up the tab for someone else.

In your 30s, pull out all the stops for yourself. Dive into the love you have for who you are and all the strength that you've acquired throughout your life. Being single doesn't mean you're empty in the love department; it just gives you more of a reason to run away with the love you have for yourself as a person.

Friendships in your 30s feel like extensions of your family members. Being single allows you to focus on those relationships more, spending more time with your closest BFFs, heading out on adventures that only good friends can share together.

With a little more cash in the bank, and nobody else to spend it on, you can start planning solo vacations that are all about you and what you want to do. Whether it's a week on the beach or a cruise around the Caribbean, it's up to you this time.

As you were building your career in your 20s, you might have had to pick between doing that or focusing on a faulty relationship. But being single and in your 30s means you can keep pushing forward with your career goals without having anyone try to stop you.
