By the time you hit 30, you should have established a bedrock level of acquaintance with: intellectual development, rhetoric, leadership experience, physical fitness, self-defense skills, and at least some sexual experiences.
The obsession should NOT be on acquisition of material goods at this point. If it happens, fine. But it's more important to cultivate yourself and your basic "skill sets" at this stage in your life.
Intellectual development: reading, speaking, and traveling widely overseas.
Rhetoric: You should be able to know how to debate on a basic level, and deliver a speech spontaneously on some topic.
Leadership: You should know how to manage a small group of people to get something done.
Physical fitness and self-defense: This is self-explanatory.
Sexual experience: You need to have exposure to women and know how they think and act.
The details on these things can be endlessly discussed, but this type of foundation will serve any man well, heading into this 30s.
