 When I have my 30th birthday, my 31th year of live and so my fourth decade
 beginns. Can anyone explain this to me ?

I think the current millenia began on 01/01/0001. No, I don't know why. It's
all rather arbitrary I think. Which just makes all of these doomsayers
claiming the world is going to end on 01/01/2000 look that much more
ridiculous. It will end on 01/01/2001. 

Now the Y2K problem.... that's another story....
