Very creative Kelly! My large student loans, yet sensible spending patterns have me rapidly agingl from young to mature adult… my hair is even starting to gray early Yikes!
Sincerely,

I am probably in my mid to late thirties which is a little higher than my age. No debt except a mortgage, control of our spending, solid savings, good income. The analogy is thought provoking though. The Happy Rock´s last blog post..My Finances and Saving System With ING Direct

I want to say that financially i’m my real age (23). I’m proud that i’m a lot more responsible than others my age. I guess it depends on who you compare yourself to. We don’t spend a lot, but we also don’t pay for our own cell phones, health insurance, DH’s auto insurance (the car also belongs to his parents), and don’t have retirement accounts. No 401k offered and IRA’s require a lot of money to justify the fees. However, our friends, of whom we’re the youngest (save for the children of said friends) spend more than we do on coffee and such. We only go to Starbucks on a gift card and Redbox with free codes. We occasionally go to the dollar theatre, but the internet has plenty to watch for free. We are still largely living off of Target gift cards from our wedding for groceries and supplies.

I think we’ll grow up a bit more once DH finds a steady job. Stupid economy.

Nice! I guess I’m a toddler, but I think I have the potential to skip a few stages as I am finally getting my act together.

Okay, this was a funny way of seeing it. I guess I'm 60 (at least, that's what my parents keep telling me). Why chase bargains when you can sit and wait for them to come to you? Early Retirement Extreme´s last blog post..The best Xmas ever

I suppose I’m a senior citizen trapped in a young adults body, lol. I don’t like to spend money and I definitely chase a bargain, but I have quite a mass of student loan debt, so I’m well able to afford nothing

Add me to the teenagers, I think I'm coming in around 15 lately. Which is to say I think I know everything, but that's only because I don't know how much I don't know. The only reason I'm even self-aware enough to label my immaturity right now is that I was doing better for a while, definitely a young adult. It's easier to be mature when there's "enough" money. Ah, the good old days. My husband has become such a toddler and I get to where I resent his frivolous spending when I'm sacrificing diligently and now I find myself regressing as if his bad spending somehow justifies my own. Tsk, tsk. I guess that's why I'm always finding my checkbook grounded again, lately. Crystal´s last blog post..Losing Sleep

Thanks Emma!

As for the others- we’re a whole bunch of teenagers here… anyone want to sneak out after curfew?
