I think the difference is not your age but your sense of responsibility and your plans for your life. Right now I wish I was in a better place financially than we are. Most of the people we grew up around who are our age seem to have established themselves in that sense while we still feel a little in limbo. Part of that is simply because of some difficult times we've run into. I had a kid and my work refused to renew my contract for another year because they didn't want "parents" working for them (I coulda sued them but didn't want to deal with the hassle myself). Then a year later hubby had a serious accident that put him out of work for 6 months and us behind financially years. We're just recovering from some of that and so had a slower start than others.
I get carded still when I buy alchohol (29). Makes me glad that I look young enough. I still enjoy "young" pursuits but because of certain responsibilities that I have or preceve are there I don't do as much. I'm able as good health wise as when I was 29. Age is just a number. I lived at home when I wasn't off at college until I was 24 but I was still working toward building my future. When you stop working to improve yourself or progress is when your age starts to be an issue. My Grandpa still takes courses or helps friends of his or works on his golfing skills. He's 88 and looks barely 65 or 70.
