Question

What are "rough times" that the average 25 year old should have faced by now?

Answer 1

By the time you're 25 you've learned how to deal with people, how to overcome peer pressure and the need to be popular (in high school).  Hopefully by that time you've learned the value of friendship and the importance of having a few close friends.  You should have dating somewhat figured out by this time, if you're not married than at least you know what kind of person you're looking for.  In your early 20s you learn how to live on almost nothing, how to have a good time without spending a lot of money.  Hopefully you've moved out and have some experience at keeping at housekeeping on your own or with a roommate.

It's hard growing up!  All through your teen years, and maybe into your early 20s, you are constantly changing and growing.  Your mid 20s is a time to relax and re-assess the new grown-up you.

Answer 5

well, I don't think there are rough times that one 'should have faced by now' everyone moves at a different pace, and it shouldn't matter if it's slower or faster than others. All that matters is how you react to these rough times. Instead I'll give you what I think most 25 year olds HAVE been faced with (as opposed to 'should')

paying for rent/school/car/food/phone

breaking away from parents

being their own person

loss of someone (doesn't necessarily have to be someone close)

Answer 6

Debt  "student loans"

unplanned children

Loss of a loved one

Answer 7

Rough times at Ridgemont High.

Answer 8

My rough times by that age included being in a really bad relationship and getting in trouble with credit cards. I also dropped out of college because of having to work two jobs to pay off the credit cards. And I learned the hard way that if you're getting a huge apartment at an indecently low price, there's probably a good reason for it. In my case, it was in a really, really scary neighborhood, which I didn't realize until I had lived there for a few days. So I guess I would say, relationships and finances.
