Do any of you feel like your definition of success has quietly changed in your 30s? (lemmy.world)

When I was younger, I thought “making it” meant money, hustle, status. Now I just want stability, a calm mind, and maybe a good dinner. No shade to ambition, but these days, peace of mind feels like the bigger flex. Curious if other guys have had this quiet shift too, or if I just got tired.

To help jumpstart this community I am reposting questions from /r/AskMenOver30 that I think are good. The original reddit post can be found here.

I always thought success would be owning my own house, having a family and a successful career.

The only thing that has changed is the nuances of what a successful family and career means.
