If not what has been your best decade? What made each decade good/bad

Honestly 20s was so good. Young, skinny, care free, living life.

30s has been covid, bills, work stress, kids stress and now cost of living.

You’re so lucky to have had an amazing 20’s I wish I could say the same for myself but nope. Some parts were good but I wasn’t as carefree as you and now I’m struggling through a bad patch but I pray things get better for both of us

Hard to choose. They’ve all been epic so far. Fab childhood like Enid blyton style countryside freedom. Teen years in boarding school which was so much fun. 20s lived abroad and worked in an amazing job. 30s moved home, married, bought gorgeous forever home, had 4 kids. 40s changed to an even better career I’m loving and we’re all travelling as a family loads.so grateful for how incredibly rich and full of experiences my life has been.
