I think the number thirty is being blamed, not because your life is actually “over” when you turn thirty, but because that TENDS to be roughly the age most people start having kids, and having kids certainly DOES cause major changes in lifestyle.
I’d say the other part of it is around age 30 is when sustained unhealthy lifestyle choices can start biting. It’s not when they kill you, but it’s when life starts to give you those warning signs that you should probably do something about that before it gets worse
