SHOULD HAVE:

  • 3. Something perfect to wear if the employer or man of your dreams wants to see you in an hour.

  • 4. A purse, a suitcase and an umbrella you're not ashamed to be seen carrying.

  • 5. A youth you're content to move beyond.

  • 6. A past juicy enough that you're looking forward to retelling it in your old age.

  • 7. The realization that you are actually going to have an old age and some money set aside to help fund it.

  • 8. A set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill and a black lace bra.

  • 9. One friend who always makes you laugh and one who lets you cry.

  • 10. A good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in your family.

  • 11. Eight matching plates, wineglasses with stems and a recipe for a meal that will make your guests feel honored.

  • 12. A resume that is not even the slightest bit padded.

  • 13. A feeling of control over your destiny.

  • 14. A skin care regime, an exercise routine and a plan for dealing with those few other facets of life that don't get better after 30.

  • 15. A solid start on a satisfying career, a satisfying relationship and all those other facets of life that do get better.

    SHOULD KNOW:

  • 1. How to fall in love without losing yourself.

  • 9. That your childhood may not have been perfect, but it's over.

  • 10. What you would and wouldn't do for love or more.

  • 11. How to live alone, even if you don't like it.

  • 12. Who you can trust, who you can't, and why you shouldn't take it personally.

  • 13. Where to go-be it your best friend's kitchen table or a charming inn hidden in the woods-when your soul needs soothing.

  • 14. What you can and can't accomplish in a day, a month, a year.

  • 15. Why they say life begins at 30.
