    95. Would you drive 90 mph on the highway when you're 95-years-old? And total your Ford Escape by hitting someone's dog. Would that be having your sh*t together?

    I think leaving my mess as it is is my way of saying, "will you look at that, you can tell I was here!"

    life is a beautiful chaos, thank you for sharing some of it here. :)

    Hi nobodylair~ I would say anytime it feels right for the person.  There is no time barrier or expected deadline.  Everyone is different.  Life itself is a journey of learning.  I don't think anyone actually has their sh*t together.  If they think they have, the have given up or bottomed out.  Reaching a plateau is one thing.  Stopping the desire to learn and better themselves is another.  I do believe you can be comfortable with yourself and I urge that.  I don't think you should ever stop reaching for goals and bettering yourself to help others and help yourself, too.

    I'd love to put and number on this, but it's impossible. It depends on the person and his circumstances.

    If there are no unexpected reasons, people should be ready for the world by early 20s.    I was ready at 18 but I'm giving the males the benefit here.  Some of them seem to get there a little later than we gals.

    Hi Jett~  Does that mean you are between 20 and 40 or does that mean you just took a big hit?  Either way, you are on the up and up and that is good news

  • I even confused my self :)

    I'm much older ... those were the years I felt good about having it all together. It seems that the next decade after, was a roller coaster, with life in general. The last few years have been much better. Thanks!

    The Bible says that Man and Women will live for three score years and ten................so that is seventy.............Seventy is your life span and that is that if you live a bit longer that is a bonus.
