Think about society and age driven milestones
At 14 you can legally work
At 16 ( and some odd months in some states ) you can drive with restrictions
At 18 you can buy tobacco and should be graduating high school and most of your license restrictions should be lifted and most companies with age restrictions should be able to hire you ( including most military outfits ) can go into some strip clubs and some night clubs but can't drink ... Legally make own decisions ( varies by state as well but this is the usual age ) unless emancipated previously ... charged as an adult for crimes which can happen as a minor if necessary but is set in stone at 18
At 21 you can buy alcohol
At 25 your car insurance should drop ( male ) and you can be elected to the house of representitives
At 27 avg age a women gets married
At 29 avg age a man gets married
At 30 you can be a senator
At 35 you can be vice or actual president
At 42 oldest any active military will take you ( varies for different outfits )
Society gives you the most at 18 but I think from 25 down is when the responsibility factor really starts kicking in
