When I first came across Falz's comments about waiting until your 30s before getting married, I wasn't surprised that the internet immediately split into different camps. Some people praised him for saying what they had always believed, while others argued that love has nothing to do with age. That's the beauty of conversations like this, they force us to think beyond our personal experiences.
As I reflected on what Falz said, however, I realized that the real issue isn't whether 30 is the perfect age to get married. I don't think there is a magical age that guarantees a successful marriage. Instead, I believe the bigger lesson is about preparation. Sometimes we become so focused on reaching life's milestones that we forget to prepare ourselves for the responsibilities that come with them.
According to Falz, people should consider waiting until their 30s because that stage of life often comes with greater emotional maturity, financial stability, and a clearer understanding of who they are. Whether you agree with him or not, it's difficult to deny that maturity changes the way we approach relationships, money, communication, and even conflict.
Unfortunately, we now live in a world where many people feel pressured to keep up with everyone else's timeline. Every day, social media shows us engagement photos, wedding videos, baby announcements, new houses, and expensive vacations. After scrolling for just a few minutes, it's easy to start asking yourself uncomfortable questions. "Am I falling behind?" "Why is everyone moving forward except me?" Should I already be married?
The truth is that social media rarely tells the whole story. Behind many of those beautiful pictures are struggles that never get posted. Some couples are battling financial hardship. Others are learning difficult lessons about communication and compromise. Many are simply figuring life out one day at a time, just like everyone else.
That's why I've stopped believing that life should be measured by age. Instead, I think it should be measured by growth.
Rather than asking whether you're 25 or 35, perhaps a better question is whether you're becoming the kind of person who can build a peaceful, healthy, and lasting marriage. Are you emotionally mature enough to handle disagreements? Are you financially responsible enough to manage a household? Are you willing to keep learning, growing, and making sacrifices when life becomes difficult?
Those questions matter far more than a number on your birthday cake.
Interestingly, one area that often creates unnecessary pressure in relationships is money. While money cannot buy genuine love, financial instability has ended many beautiful relationships. Bills don't disappear because two people are in love. Rent still has to be paid. Children still need food, education, and healthcare. Emergencies still happen.
That is why I believe one of the smartest things young people can do before rushing into major life decisions is to invest in themselves. Learn new skills. Build multiple streams of income. Discover opportunities that can create financial freedom over time.
Thankfully, this generation has opportunities that previous generations could only dream about. Today, a smartphone isn't just for chatting or watching funny videos. It can become a complete business tool capable of generating income from almost anywhere in the world.
As I thought more about Falz's journey, something else stood out to me. His success didn't happen by accident. It was built on creativity, consistency, and the courage to develop a talent that millions of people now enjoy. That same creative economy is opening doors for ordinary people every single day.
For anyone who has ever dreamed of becoming a musician, songwriter, beat producer, or music creator, there has probably never been a better time to begin. With the Music Creation service on Auxi Sherpa, aspiring artists can write original songs, create catchy melodies, produce quality beats, and experiment with different sounds directly from their smartphones. Whether you're inspired by Afrobeats, gospel, amapiano, hip-hop, or even the energetic style that has made projects like Davido's latest album so popular, modern technology has removed many of the barriers that once prevented talented people from getting started.
What excites me even more is that music creation isn't only about becoming famous. It's also a legitimate digital business. A talented songwriter can write for established artists. Beat makers can sell instrumentals online. Producers can work with creators across different countries without ever leaving home. Independent artists can distribute their music globally and build loyal audiences through digital platforms. What begins as a hobby can eventually become a profitable source of income.
Of course, music isn't the only opportunity available. Some people will discover their passion in content creation. Others will succeed as freelance writers, graphic designers, video editors, affiliate marketers, online tutors, digital product creators, or social media managers. The important lesson is that we should use our waiting season wisely. Whatever stage of life you're in today can become the season that prepares you for something greater tomorrow.
Perhaps that's why Falz's comments continue to generate so much discussion. They remind us that preparation is often more important than speed. It's better to arrive prepared than to arrive early without the emotional maturity, financial stability, or personal growth needed to sustain what you've worked so hard to achieve.
So instead of worrying about whether you're approaching 30 or already past it, focus on becoming the best version of yourself. Build valuable skills. Strengthen your finances. Improve your mindset. Invest in your future. The right timing in life isn't simply about age; it's about readiness.
And maybe that's the biggest lesson I took away from Falz's remarks. Don't allow society to pressure you into chasing milestones before you're prepared for them. Use every season of your life to grow, to learn, and to create opportunities that will make your future brighter.
If this conversation has encouraged you to think differently, don't stop at thinking. Take action. Learn a profitable digital skill. Explore opportunities in the digital economy. If music has always been your passion, start creating songs and beats from your smartphone and see where your creativity can take you. The best time to begin building your future isn't someday, it's today.
