I’m a beautiful 30-year-old woman who is gainfully employed, a follower of God, single (but with many handsome prospects) and many amazing things going for me. But sometimes, I feel like I don’t have it together and am nowhere near figuring this life thing out. Sound like you? I hope so because I don’t want to be alone in this!

I feel like there’s a ton of things that I just don’t understand or have. Someone help!
Almost 10 years ago, Glamour created a list, 30 Things Every Woman Should Have and Should Know by the Time She’s 30. And now that list is a book and it’s been widely shared and revered.
However, we couldn’t help but notice there were some significant things that were missing from the list that every 30 year-old woman should make sure that she has in her life. Check out these 30 things you should have by 30 or even in your 30s to carry you through the rest of your abundant and beautiful life. How many do you have already?
