18 is advlthood. Therefore before 18 is childhood.

I don't think it is that black and white.

I spent $300 on a signed Calvin Johnson football. The price actually wasn't bad for a signed item from an all-pro player, but the girlyfriend was not pleased. Her car needs some work so I made up for it by buying all new tires and putting them on myself.

I don't think it is that black and white.

In terms of definition maybe, depending of legal age and when society views you as an advlt. Other factors though may vary. Complicated.

Most outrageously priced item? As in contextually and based on percentages instead of a profit margin?

Probably $4000 for a $20 Pog coin. My friend made some money that day. I have no idea why the guy paid that much. I have never heard of any pog selling for anywhere near that much.

Well legal advlthood I guess. I suppose when you're considered advlt in terms of responsibility and such can differ between places. Here we've long had a thing called confirmation which can either be of a religious or a non religious nature. It is held around the age of 13-14 and it signifies that you are considered to be an advlt enough individual to carve your own path in life and that you take responsibility for your own actions. A part of this is noted in that while your close family will continue to share gifts at X-mas your uncles, aunts, grandparents and so on no longer give you gifts after it. And it is also the point at which you start giving your own parents and older siblings gifts as their equal and your younger siblings as a mature member of the family.

Of course you don't really truly hit true emotional or mental maturity until a few years later but it's still a point at which you can be considered advlt.

In America it is not until you are about 40. Some go beyond that.
