I am satisfied. I plan to continue doing what I'm doing. I have no desire to progress further in my career, buy a house, move... no plan to take any actions.

Okay. I think i might be able to make a guess now. From all that you've said you're: 48

Really good, highly educated guess! I can see why you'd pick that age.

I'm 35. While most of my peers are looking to advance or had their kids recently, my wife and I have no desire to have children and my career has reached an advanced stage just this year following a job change, hence no specific plans at the moment as this is pretty much where I want to be.

You know what. I initially was thinking mid 30s before i asked you that final question. You were initially giving off vibes of someone who has been working a security research job for quite a few years. Coupled with the fact that you need a decent level of expertise and experience to work in security research - at least from the quick googling i did - i assumed you had at least a master's degree.

With the average master's degree finishing age being around 28 and a few years of experience, i was going to guess mid 30s, but that last question threw me off. Seems like you're living a pretty fulfilled life at such a young age though, so that's good.

It might be some time I spent growing up living near a Buddhist temple that could’ve affected my current focus on being content that may come to others later in life.

I do have a masters, but I was able to get into the field early by switching between education and working. It took me much longer but it played out nicely.

That was fun. I hope you can use this to fine-tune your future age guessing skills.

Happy things are going well for you man. This has definitely improved my age-guessing skills haha. Take care bud
