Turning 18 is often seen as a milestone, but it doesn’t automatically make you feel like an adult. In reality, it’s not until age 27 that most people truly start to embrace adulthood. While legally, you gain certain rights at 18, like voting and signing contracts, it’s the experiences and responsibilities that come with age 27 that really shape our sense of maturity.
A recent survey conducted by Talker Research on behalf of Life Happens, called “Adulthood Across Generations,” reflects this sentiment. They interviewed 2,000 Americans from various age groups, including Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, and Baby Boomers, and found that the consensus age for feeling like an adult is 27.
The survey results provide insights into how different generations perceive adulthood. To delve deeper into the findings, you can visit our survey research page and press release for more details.
