When you think of your closest friends, who will come to your mind? Perhaps your college roommates or the neighbor you played with as a child. Regardless of how you met these people, they most likely have one key thing in common: 16 A 2023 study found that, for those aged 21 to 30, over 80 percent in their social circles, were born within five years of them.

A greater pool of older friends can help young people create their own blueprint.
