Question At what age do you realize that it's time to grow up?
I started early. Was married with kids at 20 but I probably did not realize a lot of things until I was 30 so I would say that's the magic age.

Thoughts?

I will say around the 27-28 mark. Thats for me. But I think it varies from person to person.

It’s realizing that we all are responsible for our own actions and make our own bed.

I still like to act like a kid sometimes. People would be shocked about by maturity level (lol). I like to kid. I like to do “stupid talk”. I like to do some of the things that happen in this forum that we try to stop. Lol

But overall – it was about 30 when I said WTF and realized some things.

I would say for me it was 27. The job was going good married and realizing that I had responsibilities in my life now.
