Just curious: Youngest to complete all 3 levels?

Youngest charter would have to be four years out of school nowadays, unless you’re dougie howser and graduating when you’re 12, the youngest charterholders would like be 24-25. If that’s the case I’ll feel pretty good if I can get mine this August.
 
good friend of mine just passed level 3 at 26 and has charter. He had to retake level III so could of passed all 3 at 25 but he just got the work exp this year.
 
Maybe i was a bit hard on him. just wanted to rant.
 
A friend of mine just wrote L3, pending that he passes he will be a charterholder within a year.
Edit: He is 23.

Have to agree here. On the experience front as well as with respect to eligibility.
I plan on doing level 1 and 2 and taking time off until my work experience requirement has been rubber stamped by CFAI. I’m not passing level 3 and waiting two or three years to get my just dessert.
 
I should have had the charter at 24, but it took the CFA institute 9 months to approve my work experience. Dont think that makes me a badass though.
 
psh…I passed all 3 lvls at age 10, but I couldn’t get a job cause I wasn’t legal to take clients to strip clubs. The only person who passed it at a younger age is Chuck Norris, I think he did it at age 2 before he taught Benjamin Graham how to invest.
….Who really cares…
Step 1) Pass lvl 1 on the first try in December
Step 2) Pass lvl 2 6 months after lvl 1
Step 3) Write lvl 3, then you start dreaming about being a young ass charterholder.

What do these things have to do with L3? Nothing. If you are trying to argue that someone has to have experienced life and be mature to really gain the benefit of L3, then age is irrelevant to that discussion.
I do agree though that trying to jam three levels of material into your brain without relevant professional experience (totally different from the things you listed) is not that helpful. But then again, neither is a finance degree. Experience > everything else.
