At What Age Did You Get Your Life Together?

No polls, no stal. Half of you can't answer this yet either, I'm sure. Details details, what was going on in life and the circumstances surrounding getting it together.

Same.

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

You will never get your life together if you listen to your mind, or take yourself to be only mind. In your mind, the moment you achieve a goal it sets another goal, slightly higher. The moment you begin to feel that things are alright, your mind will quickly inform you things could be better. A mind cannot be fulfilled.
Your life is together right now, it's as together as it will ever be, even if, to your mind it's a mess.

You know, this is really true. I was going to post that I'm doing pretty good but still don't consider my life together.
I'm 29. Ive held a good job for 5 years now, graduated, paid off my student loan and car loan, bought a house, got engaged, formed a band, wrote music and played some sbows, but I still don't feel like it's all together. I still smoke weed daily which I want to cut back on. I still don't keep my house clean enough or get maintenance done quickly. I still don't practice guitar enough. Basically I procrastinate too much. I guess the mind is never satisfied.

I realized I needed to stop being a fucktard at 20. Realized I needed to stop waiting and take action at 23. I'm a few years older now and I'm still trying to get my life together. Not where I want to be on many levels.

To put is in the most succinct way, if you cannot be happy now, you cannot be happy ever. The mind will laugh at this, it will say "but my situation is shit, it can obviously get better." But this is another trap keeping you in that same old loop until your body gives out an you die without ever having lived.
You need nothing to be truly happy. You need something to be unhappy, so the mission of any genuine seeker is to stop.
Just stop.

Define 'together'. Seriously though I highly doubt I will feel my life is 'together', at any point, just do to my nature. In conventional terms, maybe it'll happen (as in just owning a house and having money and shit) but I'm not holding my breath.
Still I'm only 22 though so in all likelihood I don't know jack shit about where I'm headed

True, "being together" is subjective to the observer as well as the one being observed.

Together as in paradise? Retirement?
Seems things are never secure enough to really be together. People died, things changed, items destroyed and friendships outgrown.
I think my life is together enough to stay out of court. But now I have jury duty coming!

Shortly after I turned 21.
My teachers always said I was "very bright" but I dropped out of high school. We moved, got stuck at a worthless high school, realized I wasn't gaining anything from it and just stopped going.
Spent a few years delivering pizza and going to community college. Figuring out what I wanted to do with my life... wondering when this "great purpose" I had heard so much about as a young child was going to show up.
Then the summer I turned 21, my dad "suggested" that I get a job doing something outside the house. He mentioned the tire shop close by was hiring.
I think they called it "management trainee" or some shit, but basically it was changing, mounting, balancing and installing tires outside, rain or shine and with jacks no less. All for $8.25/hr
Normally, I would have fought back on such a suggestion... but for some reason, this time I didn't. I went down and applied and kind of to my horror the guy asked if I could start that Saturday.
So, that's what I did. The job wasn't all that bad during the summer but I knew for sure I didn't want to do this "forever" and hopefully not even through the winter. Did I mention this job was mostly working outside, rain or shine?
Looking back, it was exactly the kick in the pants I needed and utter genius on Dad's part. My parents are smart, educated people.
So I'm working the job over the summer. It's not that bad. I'm getting a pretty good work out every day, so that's a plus!
One day, near the end of summer and we were about to close. Good thing too, the sky was looking particularly nasty! At that point, I had been working all day and all week...All I could think about was going home, taking a shower and then heading over to fuck my girlfriend. Man, your early 20s are the best! (If sex is your thing).
Well, not today. God is about to take a giant piss on me. But as it would turn out, one I needed...God's golden shower of live? LOL
No less then 2 minutes to close, in rolls this guy in his "Beeemer", wanting a new set of tires.
Yeah, he said it like that. He had a cool car and when I complimented it as such, he rolls his eyes and says "Yeah... it's a beeemer."
Outside, it's drip.. drip...drip... DOWN POUR.
So, as I'm out there jacking this guy's Beeemer into the hair, getting soaked and pelted with tiny pieces of hail, muttering under my breath. "Geee, maybe I should get that GED so I can get the fuck out of here."
Next day, made the appointment. Went down, passed the test. Got a job working a desk job that paid a few bucks an hour more, included benefits and most importantly, was inside! Ultimately, the desk job gave me the basis of a skill I would use to develop my career.
3 weeks into the new job, my GF dumps me out of the blue, so a friend I made at work introduces me to her best friend/room mate who would become my wife two years later and happily ever after.
Been married 12 years now and we've been this amazing life together. Partners in all things, make a great living. Everything we want has manifested itself into our lives.
Marriage is a gift from God... but its a bit like the Holy Grail from Indian Jones. So choose wisely!

I wouldn't say that I'm quite done working on myself yet but I'm 31 and this had been the first year I didn't feel like a total fuckup deep down inside. I've showed up to work every day, actually payed down debt instead of racking it up, gotten a handle on my drug use, and the few bills I didn't pay on time were because I legitimately forgot not because I spent all my money on cocaine and heroin. If you're going to nitpick none of that is really entirely true, but since August I have been banging it together quite nicely and even before that I made some great steps.
I'm going to be able to buy my family great Christmas gifts this year for once. I'm learning so much every day. Most importantly I'm happier than I've ever been I think.

Couldn't be happier I still gotta move out on my own
But until then I'm financially stable, happy as can be
Every aspect in my life is amazing except , my tramadol n kratom habit but thattle end as soon as I run out of kraiken
But I got it together the past 2 years
Its Hella rewarding

I live out of a backpack, eat out of the trash, take whatever drugs I'm offered, have zero savings, am a wanted felon, and have no desire for a career.
I'm probably gonna die before I ever get my life together--wouldn't want it any other way.

How can one really know if life is "together" or gauge the level of "life togetherness" without knowing every event that will transpire in one's life?

To the point where anyone who has their life together would say, "yeah that's about when I got my life together". 
Since you don't know I assume you don't?

For me it means living out a vision. Saving my money and getting an education. I understand you probably will never get it together but I'm not living with that mentality anymore. I'm actually leading a life worth living.
*I'm also taking care of my health as well too. I've lost about 70 pounds in the last year and a half.

eh. In retrospect its been a bit boring as I've always had it "together." I suppose I started to flourish in my first semester at college at 18.

At this moment I do not have it together, but I'm hoping to in the next few years. (i've been saying that every few years since grade 4.)

To be clear I said mine is coming together.
To me that means, I have a vague image of where I want to be and a general idea of how to get there.
I'm more or less moving in that direction.

About 4 years ago at age 22. I learned to adapt a better attitude, lost interest in drugs, and started avoiding the types of people who are bad influences. I became more goal-oriented and started thinking things through/planning more.

Since you don't know I assume you don't?
As honestly as I can answer, it's a work in progress with varying degrees of contentment manifesting with each new experience that presents itself. There's life chapters that exude a satisfactory level to me while there's others that I'd project a sense of improvement upon, but at the very least there's this consistent spiritual togetherness in essence that's a constant reassurance.

Hehehe Trex knows what's up. It's a play on words, I get mad giggles from the kids who don't know that people named Richard are referred to as dick. They can't help it that they are stupid lol. Just shows me who actually has paid attention in life and who is a special needs millennial moron. Dick

Still tying up my studies, definitely not together in any sense.
By the time I'm 30, things will have leveled out one way or the other.
