Hah, my husband and I stopped going to bars like a year ago, before we even decided to start trying. We did that in college, and then after college for probably 2 years we went out a lot with friends, and it just got old. A few of our younger friends, especially the sinlge ones still go out and I am not remotely jealous. I work downtown, so I might stay after work for dinner or a show, but going downtown on the weekend? Forget it!! So in that respect, I feel kind of old. None of my younger friends say "Straight chillin" though, I think I'd roll on the floor laughing. 
We get together with friends and play games, see movies, just hang out. And I'm perfectly happy with that. We save money at least!
I think I'm less afraid about turning 30 because I'll have a baby just before. It's dumb to think that matters though, cause it really doesn't. Plus my life, while may be a little behind what I expected it to be, is at least advancing in the right direction, and I have a happy marriage so there isn't much to feel bad about. I am constantly thinking "Thank God I am married" because I've seen my single friends looking for their match and it's not easy. I'm so lucky to be done with that. Actually I was done about 14 years ago (I met my husband when I was 16!).
Anyway, my mom said if she could go back to any age, it would be 30. You're totally over any awkwardness, have more confidence, can take care of yourself but still have that youth. So embrace it!
