33, is it a special age?

[Isthatguystilldroningon]

Were you happy at 33, at your happiest around this age-30-33? Curious as it’s said to possibly be a time when people were/are the happiest

It's ridiculous

At 33 I was juggling a career and children, I was brittle and exhausted. There are far better times ahead I assure you

31-36 for me but I lived abroad, had a once in a lifetime job, great lifestyle and the most amazing friends.

No. Hated my 20s and 30s..happiest in my 40s. Life is amazing now and can't wait to my 50s!

33 was probably my worst year. 36 onwards have been the best so far, and getting better.

I'm 33 now and I am at a happy stage in my life - happily married, home that we own, 1 happy healthy child and excited at the prospect of another.

Looking back I was my most beautiful at 33. Wish I still looked like that!

I'm currently 34 and very happy. 9 & 12 Yr old DDs, job I love, fab friends...I feel very settled & calm x

Not for me, got a disabling pain condition and PND. Obviously everyone is different 🤣

I am not Jesus though I have the same initials
I am the man who stays home and does the dishes
And how was your day?
Is that woman still trying to do your head in?
A man told me to beware of thirty-three
He said
"It was not an easy time for me"
But I'll get through
Even though I've got no miracles to show you

Yes, I agree with this actually. Got married at 32, bought first house at 33 and had a job I really enjoyed. Looking back on that time with a smile 😊

Retirement is the happiest age

No, it’s not

Not specifically 33 but I did love my 30’s, it’s my favourite decade so far and I’m 61 now.. 40’s were pretty good too. Fifties ok.. 20’s a bit rubbish..

Nope, had teenagers in my 30s, hard work. 40s were much better for me, more free time, more money, more holidays, grandchildren being born.

I think it’s going to vary, depending on your personal experiences. For me, 33 was in the middle of changing direction career wise and was, at the time, a happy time. Thing is, life often gets in the way of our hopes and dreams, so that although at age 33 things were good; it’s certainly been a roller coaster since (but, my rock has been and always will be, my OH). Life always throws curve balls no matter what age you are, and a particular age isn’t necessarily “the magic number” for being your golden age - it can strike at any age, along with the not so good things.

It’s a yes for me, met DH when I was 33.

I felt like I came into my own in my early 30's. An adult, on my own, and making it.

I was being treated for cancer the first few years of my 30’s and then my mum was also diagnosed with cancer so no I definitely wasn’t at my happiest.

I was! Had just bought my first house, married 5 years, no kids, loads of friends and partying while working full time professional jobs! Life was so easy and fun then..x

I was happy at 33, but I’m much happier at 38

40-43 has been a lot happier than 30-33.

I was recently diagnosed with cancer, so I hope this isn’t the happiest I will be as it’s pretty shit 😂 but even prior to that though I’d say early 20s was great, less responsibility, finding out who I am, what I’m interested in, fun nights out

33 was a fun year for me. I got a great new job within the company I'd been at since I was 18. It came with a nice pay rise and a lovely new company car and I was set up with an office in my spare room. I was based at home but travelled up to London to visit clients three times a week and did admin and generating new business on the other days. It was an amazing change from the 9-5 office based job with an hour commute each way that I'd done previously.

DH also got a much higher paid job that paid great bonuses and we suddenly had loads of money for travel , meals out and luxury shopping. We were typical "double income no kids" Had a lovely big house that we has completely refurbished to our taste.

There was some sadness in that we'd been trying for a baby for 6 years by then and had given up on it ever happening so were embracing this amazing childfree lifestyle of luxury and travel while all of our friends were dealing with toddlers.

Three years later we adopted our first DC and our lives changed overnight!

It doesn’t stand out. Forties have been great so far. I am literally all out of fucks to give.
