Can 24 be considered early 20s as well?

[Abarekiller]

So I was thinking about the age 24 and where it falls on the scale of that. I have seen folks say mathematically, it can fall into the mid and all but I feel like socially/lifestyle wise it falls into/checks many of the early 20s lifestyle box seeing many demographics use the stage of 18-24 and 24 is fresh out of college and in cases, normal to still be uni ala a fifth year and all. So it had me wondering, do many folks consider 24 to be early 20s socially as well?

These age distinctions are all pretty arbitrary at the end of the day. But yeah I'd consider 24 in that "early 20's" in all the things it entails. 25 I guess is the pivot point where you're life could by anywhere. 26 you're old, have a mortgage a partner and are gearing up for kids (I kid of course)

That said though I think circumstance effects your perception more than age. I did the Uni thing in my late 20's and didn't actually feel weird being in that space or hanging out with people a lot younger. But I guess someone who already had freinds in a different "life stage bracket" and/or responsibility might feel out of place.

I would say 21 to 22 is early 20s, then you get the mid 20s, 24-27 then the late 20s, 28 and 29. 23 is excluded since no one remembers that year.

It can, but that also means you need to consider 26 'late twenties.'

Ok... Cool beans, dude (Or bot). However, in the spirit of this weird post... for me, 20-23 = early 20's, 24-27 = mid 20's, 28-29 = late 20's
