Abstract
⺠The paper features a close reading of countdown blogs on the thirtieth birthday. ⺠The blogs illustrate a sense of age awareness in young adults. ⺠The blogs function as a coping mechanism and use an economic rhetoric. ⺠Foucault's “entrepreneur of the self” and consumer culture are considered. ⺠The countdown blogs are used to complement Foucault's concept.
