Around what age did you feel like you actually had stuff, like your own money to where you were comfortable, and felt like you were self sufficient?

None of the above, Currently in my 20s and don't feel like I am that self sufficient/I have that much, but it'll be fine

Actually back in the olden days it wasn't unusual for you to be only 16 years old and have a job.
I was just 16 when I was first employed while still in high school and I didn't let working interfere with my school work so I did graduate and received my high school diploma.

Looking at your poll, it makes me believe that most people aren't even employed until they are 18. Why not 16?

I guess that even at 16 working somewhere, it is assumed that they don't make enough to be considered financially comfortable. Typically at 18 when they have their diploma is where people start getting jobs that have a decent salary. If it was just, when do most people start working, it probably would be 16, but actually feeling comfortable? Probably at least not until 18 a lot of time. I could be wrong tho, I know a woman that finished grad school, and got her first job ever

I’d say after 30 cause of work experience, advancement in whatever field of work you’re in, saving money and not buying anything you can buy but can’t afford. If I could go back in time with all the knowledge I know now, I probably could be living comfortably by 24 or 25. But that’s if you’re the one that busts their ass working and making smart investments. Most teens don’t want to work; some have their parents buy them everything til their 30s or 40s.

I worked 2, even 3 jobs for years and completed a business course before I got on top of things. Now I make more money than I could ever possibly spend.
