early adulthood

Like all of others have stated, maybe 20's is the best time of challenging times. This times we can feel that we have to dare ourselves on things we want to achieve in life. some maybe late bloomers who will realize it late...but as a person, we have to be responsible in all things ahead of us. We don't have to stand by our parent's sides. we have to act and make money and be responsible like what other adults are...

Well I think the "prime of your life" as you say begins around the age of 20, im 26 now and I still feel like being in the prime of my life so I don't know yet when it ends :)

i think the 20s is the most challenging stage of a man's life. it is when responsibilities are starting to weigh in. it is also the time when career-defining decisions are made. i think the best stage for a man's life is the teenage years. when there is so much freedom and discoveries in life that build man's character and personality.

I am in my late 20's. Everything is fine at my stage. I am in my stage where I am already looking at my future, who it would be when I get old. How my family is, how my friends are, etc. It is a realization stage, for me. It's the time of evaluating my life. =) Some of the people I know are okay in their state, some are not. It solely depends on how you live your life. =) If you choose to be happy, then you will be happy. If you choose to be miserable and live in hatred, you will live in that manner. It's still up to the person. =)

Well i am in my early 30s and sometime i feel like i havent hit my prime yet. I JUST had a kid last year so i was blessed enough to do most of the things i wanted to do as a single person before i brought a child into it. So i can i started to think toward family mode around 30. So it all depends on your path that you take. some people had to actually grow up at the age of 16...so its different strokes for different folks.
