"famejranc" At What Age Did You Peak?

I think I will peak at 117, which will roughly be the year of my death by my calculations.

My brain probably began deteriorating around 18 but I’m confident there’s enough left to make it in finance. Still learning just less ripe/sharp I’d say.

Physically : ~17

Socially: Depends on what you mean. If by most active social life (going out drinking, etc.) probably 22-23. If you mean ability to be social and be comfortable in any environment, probably around 40 and not decreasing yet.

Mentally: Still going higher

Career: Still going higher (I assume)

Let me tell you something, I haven't even begun to peak. And when I do peak, you'll know. Because I'm gonna peak so hard that everybody in Philadelphia's gonna feel it.

Dayman?
 

Physically maybe 21-22? I bet if I was independently wealthy and didn't have to work I could get back to it though. It was a lot easier in college with two classes a day and no spending money to eat healthy and work out for hours a day.

In life? Not even close.
