What is your "realistic" lifespan settings?

I have the principle 1 year = 4 days, and all the seasons are 4 days each, so it's the same season for a whole year. That way children, teens etc. can experience several seasons, but the life of my sims isn't unbearably long. I can deal with young adults beign YA for long, but not so much for toddlers and children and I want things to seem 'right' so I wouldn't just make the toddler stage shorter randomly because the years wouldn't nicely equal anymore.

Baby: 2 days (half a year: toddlers still need to learn how to walk and don't do so right on their birthday, and most people learn to walk when they're around 1 years old)
Toddler: 18 (4,5: 0,5 years to 5)
Child: 28
Teen: 24
Young adult: 88 (18 - 40)
Adult: 80
Elder: 30, it seems. Didn't know. Had to look at my optionsfile. 67 years is young but I don't really care they always live longer anyway. If I manage to play a sim until they're an elder...
