Looks like my first earnt TPs were October 2013, which would have been when I joined AMEX & BAEC, in my early 30s. No material TP-earning work travel to speak of. Can make Silver pretty easily through leisure but current Gold status not going to last as it makes more sense to combine Silver status with J sales as they arise elsewhere. 3120 TPs now; through use of CVs, Award flights and other airlines probably won't even hit 100TPs this year!
