I don't think most 24 year olds have it together. I don't think most people have it together, period. That's the human condition.

But if 24 isn't old enough to make long-term decisions for yourself, when is? Which arbitrary amount of experience is sufficient?

I've been making long-term, life-altering decisions for myself since long before I was 24. They weren't always the best decisions in hindsight, but they made sense at the time. But isn't that how everyone does it?
