“We know that 80% of life’s most defining moments happen by the age of 35,” said Jay
Jay says that many people are making more money in their careers and or either living with their partner or married by the age of 30.
She mentions things that we do or don’t do in our 20’s can make an impression on our future. Jay is an alumna of the University of Virginia from the College of Arts and Sciences.
