The way I see it is the only person you're ever guaranteed to have to stick around your entire life is yourself, so you have two options to choose from: you can dislike that person, or you can befriend them. I'm definitely not saying it's easy—it took me from age 17 through to 21 to befriend myself and that was with the help of a counselor, but I can say my life has definitely improved since I did decide to befriend myself.
What is something everyone should know how to do at age 30?

How to get a job.
because no job = no money = unable to pay taxes/no food = homeless/bad house = bad life

Balance your bank account(s). I was hired as a bookkeeper by a 35 yr old guy that opened his own business using a trust fund he received from a passed relative... And when I first tried to explain to him how we (the company) didn't have any money to do 'x' he didn't understand. I was trying to give him an example so I said "you know how to balance your checkbook, right?" and he replied with "I don't write checks".... *sigh*

You should know everything you have learnt in your life. I dont feel like its fair to say that at a specific age you should have done this and that and you should know who you are and everything that you want to do. Because everyones journey is different and unique and not everyone has equal oppurtunitties, (and yeah ik like a hundred peeps r gonna glare at me magically through their screens for being that person. But i dont care :) )

Self care!
Getting old is unavoidable, but at least we can postpone these experienced to 10-15 years: dry skin, body ace, "the gut", hair loss, get breathy after short run

By age 30 a person should be well on their way to their professional goals, if not already working in that capacity. They should have learned how to use their money wisely, invest in insurance, and have a "starter" home. My best down & dirty advice is: never assume the person you are with is healthy and in charge of birth control (ie, be the moderator of your life). Also, know your God.
