Around 40

30. The body’s still young and energetic, but there’s maturity, respect from others, and a feeling of confidence and being settled in life.

Well, is it just for a re-run, or are we having do-overs?

I wouldn’t go back to any age, if all it was going to be was a re-run. If I don’t get to take my present knowledge with me.

If I get to take my present knowledge with me, then shoot me back to the earliest age I could talk, so I could tell those people to get their acts together or we’ll all be screwed, and not in a happy way.
Screw that saving account (although they were pretty sweet in the 70’s), I need a brokerage account!

Also If I could relive my best hugs from my friends and family.

Difficult question.
The time I was at my best physically, with my kids at my favorite age, my favorite car, my favorite pet, and best work experience was probably about 37, but my life was in total chaos at the time. I would never want to go through that again.
Things fell back together when I was 45. That might be my choice.

My past was too hard and I would never give away any of my time. I’ll stay.

Not now. I’m happy with my current situation. If I had a choice I would like to stay at the same as as I am now.

Around 35 would suit me just fine.

Would we be able to modify the choices we made based on information we have now?

I’m not really sure I would want to redo this shit all over again.

I’d like to go forward to somewhere between the ages of 500 and 1,000 years.

Love_my_doggie's avatar

@Buttonstc I couldn’t agree any more. Weren’t the 30s just a lovely place to be? That was the happiest decade of my thus-far life.

Buttonstc's avatar

Yeah, compared to the twenties, thirty made so much more sense. I finally figured out who i was, what I was and why.

I wonder if anyone in their twenties knows anything at all. (Even if they THINK they do.)

10. Before puberty and I had not yet been raped. I was carefree and innocent. My worst problem was having to eat quiche for dinner.

ZEPHYRA's avatar

20. Thought life’s doors would swing open for me wherever I went! Blissfully unaware of what lies ahead.

disquisitive's avatar

The 30s were my best years.
