I think age groups would be better than individual years. Is there any advice that applies at 13 but not 14? I do love the idea of collecting wisdom. The hard part is getting the 14 year olds to believe it!

> Is there any advice that applies at 13 but not 14? I can think of some advice that is specific to an age. If you're going to apply for an overseas working holiday visa, you want that last chance reminder at age 28 or 29... because once you hit 30 you're no longer eligible. But I agree in general about age ranges. I like the idea of the user choosing their exact age, but it'd be better if the person giving the advice could choose the range of ages their advice applies to. I think it might also need some filtering / curation. The current advice at age 64 to "start saving for retirement" is, uhm, probably a bit too late at that point. I think they made a typo in the age fields somewhere.

  Wow, that's rather regressive. http://global-goose.com/travel-tips/working-holiday-visas-for-canadians/ http://global-goose.com/travel-tips/working-holiday-visas-fo...

    Huh, I learned something new today: "Canada and Australia have signed a mutual agreement that allows young Canadians between the ages of 18 and 35 to travel and work in Australia for up to 12 months. (The age limit used to be 30, but it was increased to 35 in 2018)." Canadians appear to be a special exception though. If you're Australian, most countries still limit you to age 30 (and Cyprus & South Korea limit you to 25 or younger, apparently): https://global-goose.com/working-holiday-visas-for-australians/ https://global-goose.com/working-holiday-visas-for-australia...

Groups are a good idea, but my concern is how do I decide what ages fit in each group, could the categorization be different for different cultures Bang on about the 14 year olds believing it. I rejected any notion that I didn't know everything at that age.
