At the tender age of 24, Oisin Hickey knew something had to change. Already the once promising hurler had walked away from the chance to win a third All Ireland medal, finished wearing the saffron and blue, been in and out of jobs, had written off his car.

Your 30s are a pivotal decade for financial planning, as you likely experience significant life changes such as advancing in your career, getting married, having children, or purchasing a home. As a friend once put it, “In your 30s, you’re just running.” You’re likely married, have small children, and your career is starting to take off — everything’s launching and/or accelerating at once....
