What had you achieved by 26?

On the other hand who wants the burden of a house, car and marriage at 26?! You're only young and free once, don't waste it being tied down before your prime.

This. Can't think of anything worse than being settled down by 26. :/

Well I'm 25 and I started my own company at the age of 21. Also have a mortgage and a dog.

I bet it's karate.

Every time I meet someone who does karate they tell me either they're world champion or second best.

You can't all be world champion!

I had reached possibly the pinnacle of my life.

Being part of the mod team here.

GCSE's, A levels(well redoing them because I got rubbish results last year.)

Really think I should do more but looking at the amount of work I have to do, I will have to leave it till the summer, 13 week holiday awaits me.

30

Married, 2 kids, 3rd on the way, house (well mortgage, but a good chunk paid off), fairly good job, degree.

I seem to have slowed down now but by 26 I had done...

College and uni
Had my own market stall
Opened 6 mobile phone shops in my local area
Engaged
Bought a house to renovate and sold it on (done 4 more since)
Bit of travelling

Spike_UK · 27 Mar 2012 at 20:55

I'm 31, but by 26 I had my first property and a mortgage.
Had to live at my mothers and save for ages to get it, but it was well worth it.

I'll have it paid off before my 38th birthday too. There are many people in my area that can say that.

Degree
PhD
Developed a test for a blood disease which is still used in hospitals apparently
Married
Bought a house
Karate black belt (I wasn't a world champion though. Or any kind of champion)

5 parachute jumps (static line - all for charity and to beat my fear of heights)

That's a genuine achievement. Well done!

Mr Jack · 27 Mar 2012 at 21:10

Let's see, er:

I had my first degree, with not a great grade (2:2 in an MMath)
Had worked for some years, with published 3 published game credits
Had just bought my own home
Had a few relationships
Owned my own car
Been paragliding and rock climbing

Nothing of fantastic note, really.

edit Forgot one: I had learned what the word 'ignorant' means.
