The "perfect age" rises as people get older. When asked "If you could skip time and live forever in good health at a particular age, what age would that be?" Overall, Americans think 50 is the perfect age, but the average varies by generation...
38 is the perfect age for Millennials
49 is the perfect age for Gen Xers
55 is the perfect age for Baby Boomers
67 is the perfect age for Older Americans
Overall, Americans think 20 is the perfect age for moving out of your parents' house, 22 is the perfect age for graduating from college, 26 is the perfect age for getting married, 28 is the perfect age to have a first child, 45 is the perfect age for having a last child leave home, and 61 is the perfect age to retire. On these ages, the generations pretty much agree.
