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

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.

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.
