What is the Galactic Age of the Universe?

[TallGuyInAnaheim]

IMO, it is very anthropocentric to specify that the Universe is 13.7 Billions years old, i.e., using Earth's period of revolution around a minor sun as a baseline. There might exist a Galactic timeframe that would/could suggest that we actually live in a very "young" Universe. Just for fun, I calculated a Galactic age of approx. 67 "Galactic years", using the time for our sun to revolve around the Milky Way as a better measure of the time scales involved.
