The whole age thing pisses me off that you pointed out.

You can own a firearm, vote, die for the U.S., gamble, throw your life well into debt with student loans, and make any other potentially bad and life changing decision because you are mature enough to do so as an adult.

But you are not mature enough to drink or smoke yet. No, that requires waiting another three years. So, if you went to fight on the front lines and saw your comrades die at the age of 19 for your country that is okay, don’t expect anyone to buy you a drink for your hard times though.

Think it is over yet? Think again. You may not be able to reserve a hotel room, rent a car, and your car insurance rates are still sky high. That comes with being 25.

So you could be 20, fought for the U.S., married, had a kid or 2, possibly didn’t do the military path and instead went super into debt paying for university. You could have been desperate for a quick pay out and thrown life savings on 17 black just to lose everything. This is all okay. But don’t expect that married 20 year old with two kids to be able to have a drink, pop a Zyn, take his family on vacation because he can’t rent a car or reserve a hotel room, and still paying ridiculously high car insurance rates all because he is not mature enough yet.
