  • This is because we settle into a lifestyle and/or career
  • The decade of the 20s are a dire time to prepare for the future more than we realize
  • What we do in our 20s affects a lot of lifestyle habits and facts we have to face in our 40s
  • Those ahead in school aren’t necessarily ahead in life because of the development of the frontal lobe in the brain
