Jeeeezzzzz, wish I could be making the leap from 29 to 30 NOW -- however, none of those milestones ever bothered me -- not so sure that big ole 60 isn't going to hurt a bit, though!!!! 
Aaahhh -- its a while before I have to worry about that, so I'll think about it a few years down the road -- I'm just glad to be alive and driving an S car.

This future purchase will, with the 7 yr/100k warranty, take me to age 67 and able to collect full Social Security....

When I turned 30, I had a one year-old daughter and was 2 months pregnant with my son. My age wasn't something I thought about then. When I turned 40 my kids were 11 and 9 1/2 so I paid a little more attention, but it still didn't bug me. I think 49 to 50 will though.

Honestly - neither of them bothered me.
I'd rather *have* birthdays (as opposed to having no more birthdays )
In terms of worse... 29 to 30 seemed like a bigger deal to me at the time.
39 to 40 was the s.o.s. really.

I'm going with the jump from alive to dead. Yup, that's the big one.
I didn't have a problem with either one, but voted for 29 to 30 because to me that is the final dividing line between kid and adult. No more room to weasel out of it!

I have so many friends that I've done the 49-50 and 59-60 and a couple who've even done the 69-70 - no problems. I can only hope I'm in the same condition with the same joie de vivre when I reach those milestones!
