I hope this just means I'm late to the party, not that it's all downhill from here...

Depends on the life, I would think.

I was actually gonna say my peak was 23 because 1.5 months later, I'd just gotten my first place with my then-fiance. But that was also after nearly a decade of being completely homeless, so yeah, that can tip the scales a bit. It was a first place, not a nice place, and we didn't always have food and running water. It was more me just not caring much about those things.

And then I remembered how freeing it was to leave after he metamorphosed into a drunk little cheating piece of shit. Very exciting. Had a solid support system for the first time ever. Aceing college despite never having been to high school. Happy cried a few times.

So I'm gonna call it at 28 and it's all downhill from here, but OP needs to remember Life sometimes happens and it isn't a cookie cutter TV sitcom.

I can be well into my 30s with no driver's license because I missed the whole "Loving parents teach me to drive to high school" situation. I was eating out of a garbage can out back behind the Food Lion and sleeping in a park when that was supposed to happen. But I could also just go get one.
