As long as your age fits somewhere on your no trump ladder, you shouldn't worry about either of them.

Old enough to know better but young enough not to care...

[Oof Arted]

Wish I could have reason to care whether I was Early/Mid/or Late 20's

But I can hope

Actually late 60's anyone got a cure

I once asked my father-in-law what it was like getting old. He said he doesn't see the world much differently now than he did when he was 21. He just can't do as much. I've never met a guy who sees this differently. Or a woman who didn't. One of my friends reply to this was "Do you see those women over there? To them, we're just furniture. They don't even see us". I forget how old I was when he made that observation. 27 probably.

It may seem funny and even absurd. I sometimes question it. Yet couldn't reach truth.

Does life or we are merciless to ourselves ? It is a world one must be firm at all.

Then do we really care well health issues no matter which age we live in? Or our priorities indexed to make money and try to have fun whenever its possible ?

Whatever it happens our anatomy doesn't forgive any neglect.

Teeth, hairs, eyes.

Good luck to all in next ages. Maybe it's a thing we can handle more carefully. Seems to me it's something like thinking 5 seconds more at bridge tables may bring extra chances.

Mid 20s, definitely.
Late 20s start around 29, and go until even your closest friends don't believe you.

It goes something like this:
14-16: 16
17-19: 18
20-23: 21
24-29: mid 20's
30-32: 30
33-37: 30's
38-45: late 30's
46-55: early 40's
56-65: 50s
>=pension age: Who cares anymore, just gimme the money.

Need help adjusting? No problem. I turned fifty-twenty this year. I regard this as the mid-fifties. In ten years when I am (with luck) fifty-thirty, I will accept that I have reached the late fifties.

As to the original problem: Age is more multiplicative than additive. That is, the difference between being 5 and being 10 more closely resembles the difference between 20 and 40 (twice 20) than between 20 and 25 (five more than 20). If you accept this multiplicative feature then the midpoint between 20 and 30 is ten times the square root of six.

But I assume the real bet was that you could get forum posters to argue about whether or not 27 is mid-twenties. It appears that you have won!

If I am forty-fifteen can I avoid the dot.com investments?
