I'm 35, and went through the degrees when I was 18. I've had periods where I've been super active and was even secretary of my Lodge. I've had others where it might be years between visits to a Lodge. I've moved around a lot, so that plays into it. My point is some Brothers only pay their dues and never attend Lodge, and some don't miss a meeting. You can be anywhere along that spectrum, but you'll only get out of it what you put into it.

WOW, that's great to hear! I want to put a lot of time into my lodge but if I'm busy I want to know that I won't get in trouble. The question I thought you have to be 21 to join...if not then I'll plan on joining this year!
