Celebrate Birthdays with parties, dinners, presents, and other celebrations — even when they’re major birthdays. Some people wonder why they should celebrate birthdays that end in a zero. Why not! Most people are really worried about turning 30 or 40 – and the thought of turning 50 brings them out in a cold sweat.

I really don´t get why turning 30 makes people freak out so much. And as for turning 40 … you´d think that some people had one foot in the grave the way they talk!
