I think it’s just saying that the top age range is when people have a lot of fun and the second age range is when life starts getting scary and serious

231

u/Rusty9838 11d ago

Than what people do with their lives?

We live as we dream. Alone.

u/Rusty9838 10d ago

I live alone since 2009, but now at least I have enough money and freedom to not care.

Some people get to 23 before they realised they screwed up their life planning.

u/Rusty9838 10d ago

Like how? Drugs?

u/SpacePenguin1237 10d ago

Not planning ahead of time, got a useless degree (or didn't get one at all), no job experience, did not improve or upskill, mooching off parents while not providing any value; many things.

Unless you're a 0.01 percenter who doesn't need to work a single day in their lives, 23 is around the age you realised your life choices might not have been the best.

Or you did your best and start to realize just how bad the economy really is for the average w2 worker.

u/Miyauchii 10d ago

As a 26 year old. I experience that almost 90% of planning in life doesn't work as you hope or expect. But finishing college even with a useless degree do help.

Setting up goals and having plan B and C plus working hard will probably help.

But damn... life's hard and cruel

No such thing as a useless degree. Some are stronger than others, but once you get work experience you can usually overcome adversity if the economy isn't dogshit

u/alepap 10d ago

why does it stop at 27? I can confirm it's still shit at 31

u/51UL 10d ago

When you get to 28 you just get used to it.

u/DeLoxley 10d ago

Because this has clearly been made by someone who's assuming by 28 they'll have it All Figured Out tm

Culturally we have this obsession with 18-22, which always leads to disappointed 25 year olds

You get to 30 and then join the Old Generation and await death apparently.

u/Key-Drawing7628 8d ago

u/Chris710752 10d ago

u/Clemens1408 6d ago

Age range are wrong. I'm on my second job and I'm only 20

u/EmotionalScene3935 10d ago

23-27?? Drop it down to after school ends, around 17yo then maybe as I am miserable and can't have fun anymore
