But if we’re talking general life stuff like bills, rent/mortgage, juggling work, relationships, and maybe raising kids, I’d say people usually start gaining that kind of experience properly in their late 20s to mid-30s.

That’s when life tends to stop playing on easy mode (if it ever was), and responsibilities stack up. But even then, it’s not about age as much as it is what you’ve had to handle. Some 50-year-olds haven’t had to face half the sh*t a 25-year-old might’ve gone through. So yeah—age helps, but it’s not the whole story. Life experience is more about what’s hit you and how you’ve had to respond.

That's fair.
