Pardon me for not wanting to be old, but in my head, 20-25 is early twenties, 26-27 is mid-twenties, and 28-29 is late twenties. I know that doesn’t make mathematical sense, but categorically speaking, anyone who is under 26 in the US can be on their parents’ health insurance, so I think that anyone under 26 must be in their early twenties.
When you get to be my age, Josiah, you won’t think of yourself as “mid-” anything. Everything is new, beginning, starting, early, so being called “mid-twenties” is a little bit unnerving for me. I guess I felt similarly the first time someone referred to me as “college help” at a job that I had started when I was fresh out of high school. Maybe you’re actually right in your assessment, Josiah, but I don’t have a “mid-twenties” mindset yet.
