I meant not have your own stuff

I'm not understanding the question. Or maybe it's just so absurd my mind is refusing to accept it.

It would be cringe if anyone in any of those age groups had not begun to accumulate earning power, wealth, and stuff. We live in a Capitalist economic system, like it or not. Actually the USA is an extremist Capitalist system.

If you're not out of school, in a job or your own business, the owner of a car, in your own place, and in possession of some basic furniture by 25 you are flirting with being off the rails. At 30, you are a red flag and will probably have a tough time getting your life back on track.

I am a little confused by the question even with the update to explain it means “NOT have your own stuff”, it might just be how it is worded or how I am reading it, I had some of my own stuff when I was like 10 years old though of course not my own house or car, you mostly have more stuff over time and earlier than 25yo, I think most people would have their own car, their own home maybe w roommates, bank accounts and things like that. If you mean “own your own house” that depends where you live and what kind of life you are working toward, if you mean “have a lot of money saved” that would also depend a lot, I guess I would say that by 25 you would hopefully not be sleeping on your friends couches or having trouble paying for food every day, by 30, you should hopefully not be worried about paying for any normal expense and you should hopefully have some longterm savings, JMO!

What the fuck are you talking about? Why would it be strange for any of those age groups to be independent?

I meant to say not have your own stuff

No have my own stuff, I started my first business venture at 8 so probably about 16 when I could seriously contribute to the pot so I'd say 16

I'd say when you're older than ''legal'' age.
