facthunter Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 It would give you a very unfair advantage, if we could have the wisdom that SHOULD come with age, at the actual age of 20. 20 is magic, You've got your wheels, maybe even two wheels, An adequate income without others to help you spend it (plus some). You're fit, healthy, capable of communicating and making decisions that really will make a difference to where you are going, and freedom. (usually) unless you are in Bluestone College or married).
