When I turned 30 I told my mom (despairingly) that I still felt totally lost. She told me that she was 40 before she started feeling like she had a clue. (Mind you, this was a woman who had raised three kids while working full time, so I'm not sure exactly what clue it was she found. Possibly it was that she had needs of her own.) Whether it was the power of suggestion or what, this is pretty much how it worked out for me too. Not that I figured everything out, but probably more that I settled into myself a little better. I don't know. I was less unhappy.
I do remember that after Sharee and I broke up in 2005, right after I turned 45, I thought I had hit the peak and my life would be all downhill after that. This turned out not to be the case.
