Life’s Big Milestones, and How Old We Are When We Hit Them

How old were you when you made your first friend . . . had your first kiss . . . or went to your first concert?

2,000 people took a poll about major life milestones up until the age of 30.  Here's how old the average person was when they hit them . . .

The average person made their first friend at 5 . . . rode a bike at 7 . . . learned to swim at 8 . . . rode their first rollercoaster at 12. . . flew for the first time and broke their first bone at 14 . . . had their first kiss at 15 . . . and went to their first concert at 16.

We fell in love for the first time at 18 . . . and also had our heart broken for the first time at 18.  Then in our 20s, we hit a bunch of other big milestones . . .
