I think the amount of slang a person uses depends a lot on the his/her age and education/social level.
Middle school and high school students use a lot of slang which even many adult native speakers cannot understand. A lot of it is based on popular culture (TV, movies, music) and changes rapidly, so it's hard to guess what slang will be popular one month and outdated the next.
If you want to sound mature and well-educated, I think it's better to avoid most slang, except in very informal situations.
