Best age

Just a light hearted chat!

If you could be any age again what would it be (regardless of personal experiences in that year) just the age you think is the best.

Ah but you haven’t got to the magical age of 32 yet

I can't choose between early 20s - the friends and the carefree invincibility of the time or my mid 30s where I felt more confident and comfortable in my own skin (but had more responsibility).

Your 30s are amazing OP btw, you're going to enjoy them in a whole different kind of way Smile

Sorry that was for @Hm2020. Wish there was an edit button!

  1. Decent job, Student debt under control, nights out, lazy w/ends and festivals all summer... just the best of carefree times,

I’m 49 now and happy to be honest with you all.
I have a 12 year old daughter my only child who I adore and even though I’m not with her dad we are still friends and I’m glad I met him all those years ago otherwise I wouldn’t have my girl .

I'm 32 now, wish this was me.

I'd say 25.

  1. One yr before my DD was born. I had a great job that paid so bloody well. I was socialising every weekend and shopping like nobodies business. Had a fantastic FB. Ugh. So carefree and selfish. I miss those days 😌

19 , was one of the best years of my life

janeseymour78 · 31/05/2022 00:57

I'm 30 and feel nostalgic for 24 🙂 thats when I moved abroad for a hedonistic lifestyle!

40s and 50s.

At 67 I'm not unhappy, but it could be better, i.e. my lovely DH not being dead.

Caminante · 31/05/2022 01:09

About 38. Physical peak, really fit, happy and fulfilled.

Yes, I’m the same as my mum passed away last year and my dad in 2000.

We think they will live forever, well I did with my mum as she was 84 but it wasn’t to be.

We have to be strong and and think how are loved ones wouldn’t want us to be sad.
