Your "Golden Birthday," also known as a "Champagne Birthday" or "Lucky Birthday," typically occurs in your 20s.
Unfortunately, for most of us, this special day arrives when we're too young to fully appreciate it.
What is a Golden Birthday?
Your "Golden Birthday," also referred to as a "Champagne Birthday" or "Lucky Birthday," is when your age matches the date of your birth. If you're turning 25 on February 25th, congratulations, it's your Golden Birthday!
Now you understand why many of us miss out on this unique celebration. If your birthday falls on June 5th, your Golden Birthday was when you turned five—too young to grasp its significance.
