    25, maybe 30.

    Your brain doesn’t finish developing until around that point, and it’s the part that helps you control your thoughts and emotions (prefrontal cortex). There are no other advantages after 30, though, and the development been 25 and 30 isn’t as vast as 18 to 25.

    That said, I’ve been blessed with a middle aged 40 year old body since I was 12, so meh. (And really, I should have been given “most likely to do his taxes on time” title in the yearbook.)

      For this I usually go with 27. Trade slightly more cortex development while only losing about 3% more of my collagen. So like one crowfoot and a forehead crease, but no more. Eyes are also stable enough for eye surgery but not going into retinal decline like in the 30s. Basically your late 20s rides off all your physical generation for a lot of different soft tissues being peak into ~25 but not having caused the damage that starts to build up and cause side effects in your 30s.
