What is important here is the mental maturity, not physical I believe, at least for adventuring. It would make sense that, mentally, a race that can live hundreds of years would take longer to mature
Why? Why is your body slowly falling apart necessary to mature mentally?
No? When you live for hundreds of years you can wait a couple of decades before going to school, maybe 50-100 to think about leaving your town, no need to rush anything. It makes sense that races that live longer would experience life at a slower pace therefore mature later in life.
Education and maturity are not the same thing. Also, if you live for hundreds of years the rational thing to do is work hard at the beginning so you can live on the interest for the rest of it.
