Brainfart of the day

Is there a symbolic meaning behind Frodo going and destroying the Ring at the same age Bilbo was when he found the thing? Found at fifty, destroyed at fifty. And it's symbolic that there's Nine Walkers for Nine Nazgûl.

My fiancé thinks that maybe Tolkien just thought that fifty was a good age for a Hobbit to go on adventures.
