I had that feeling, too, as I approached 30. Basically from about 26-30. I was already married, had a house, a job that wasn't challenging but that makes a difference, enough money to do basically what I wanted. Now what?
Part of the answer for me was to learn to be content, exactly as I am. Anything else is just chasing illusions. It's a paradox, but only when I've already learned to be content can I go find something else that makes me happy. Otherwise it's just filling up a void that can't be filled.
Some things that might help you are meditating (a lot of my best realizations have come to me in stillness), volunteering, doing those silly "what color is your parachute" exercises, etc. So much of our society focuses on "do more, be more, have more" that we forget to be satisfied and grateful just to be alive and have what we have.
Maybe it's not what's missing that you need to find, but what isn't.
