At 26, I had quite college after finishing 2 years, I had attempted suicide at 24, and was starting to get my life in order again.
I was making decent money and bought my own house. I still think it's hilarious that my mother told me she thought the reason I wanted to buy my own house was that I was being "rebellious". LOL- what in the world could she have been thinking? She was married with 2 kids when she was 26.

It was a really nice house with a 3 car garage and an in-ground pool.

26 had it's ups and downs. I started taking classes again, too, but just the ones I enjoyed.

by the way, 26 for me was over 20 years ago. I've been married for 14 years, and we have a beautiful 5 year old son.
