what is the best age?

repeated answers are bold, larger if more often, and a few favorites are in italics


 

1

2

3

3, when you're younger your parents pay attention to you more

4

4 you don't know what's going on, you're just happy about everything

5

Maybe 5 because you can ride in shopping carts and go on little kid play areas and when you draw you understand it but your parents don't. They just see scribbles

Probably 5 years old

5 and 6

I think like 5 or 6, because everything is still of wonder, everything feels new in a good way and everything excites you to no end

6

6. You can still take naps and still believe in fairies, unicorns and magic and people still encourage that

When I was very young, maybe about 6

Probably when I was little, maybe age 6 or 7

7

8

I would say 8 or 9 years old. You see the world rosily, no responsibilities and you have security and everything you need and nothing has disrupted that yet

It's 9 because I like 9

10

I guess 10 because it's your first double digit year

I like 10 and 8

11

11 because you can be a kid or an adult, the threshold of growing up

Up until 12/14 years old

12

12 cause you get to watch older shows like the Guns of Navarone

12-13, when we were able to be free and without worry

13

Probably in the teens because you get more freedom to do what you want. You get to make more friends

14

15 +1

My best age was probably 15, I got away with everything

Probably high school, 15/16 when you have the most freedom and least amount of responsibility

16

16, independent and freedom to do things, expectations for the future

16. I felt happiest at 16. You don't have enough responsibilities but just enough rights

I would say for me it would be 16

16 or 17

17

18

18 was my favorite age

Probably 18

Probably 18, my first year of going into college

So far probably 18. You're mature and still somewhat naive

Above 18

After 18

19

Probably 19ish, that's what my sister is at. You have more freedom because you're in college but you still have some responsibility

20

20s

20s anywhere in your 20s after 21. When you're not a full adult so you can have certain freedoms because you're that age and you get to mess up a few times

I think early 20s probably. Where you have your life ahead of you

I would say 20ish

Obviously your early 20s when theirs no responsibility, living life to the fullest

21

21 for sure

When I was 21, I enjoyed my life

22

I think 22 because you're past the awkward teenager stage. You're not at an age you start worrying about where you're going with your career

23

23, After college but before when I felt truly adult responsibility started. Freedom and you can do and become whatever you want. Like the world is yours

The age I got married, 23

24

So far I think 24

24, my daughter's age

25

I really liked 25

25, you're not too old, but you're not too young- it's a clean slate

I would say 25- I did a lot of things. You graduate, you meet a lot of people and getting to a new level of your life.

Younger age, maybe 25

The best age is 25 and 7 months, If I could stay this age I would

Life is a never ending journey of finding yourself, so i don't know if I've hit it yet. My best age was probably 25, 26, 27

Probably mid/early 20s, it's when you find yourself

Mid 20s

My best age was mid 20s, about 25

Now, mid to late 20s

25 to 35

Maybe 25ish, I kinda miss that age

Late 20s

Late 20s, early 30s

Late 20s, I got married, bought a house, learned how to budget finances

I would say 26 because I got married at 26

26 to 31

27

This one, 27

28

28 because it was after that I started pulling muscles

28 old enough to be mature, young enough to not be an old guy

It's a hard question to answer when I haven't been every age. I want to say 28. You're still young but old enough that most people respect you

29

29, 20s were not a fun time, 29 was when I realized what I wanted and how to get there. Going into a new time

29 and 11 months

30

So far, 30

For me it was 30

For me probably that would be 30

I enjoyed 30

30, old enough to have experience but young enough to do something about it

I'd say 30, before you have kids and yet you're starting to find out who you are

Maybe 30

Early 30s

30-35

I'd probably say 30-35

30s

My 30s

My 30s, lots of life life ahead without worrying about any choices

In your 30s

30s, they are the new 20s

Possibly in the 30s after someone has achieved things and is looking forward to more

Mid 30s

Mid 30s and 40s

Mid 30s when you start to figure things out

Mid to late 30s

30 to 40

How to say, young is best age, 30-50

31

I can say several but the best, it's hard. I can't answer that but I do remember around 31 thinking "this is a good age"

32

I'm going to say 32

32-35

34

35

I would say 35

I'd say about 35

Probably 35ish because you’re on your way to be who you are. You’ve usually chosen a spouse and a career.

35-55 because I earned money then

37

37, for the most part where I am right now is the best age

39

40

40, I like 40 a lot

I don’t know, 40

I think it was around 40

I'll have to go with 40. I'll go with happiness over health

Personally, now- 40 because I'm more aware

40s

My 40s

The 40s

Probably 40s, one still has the energy and enthusiasm to achieve and gained experience. So you probably have the best balance and health

So far my best age has been my 40s (decade) lot of change but a lot of positive change

Life's pretty good at the moment, personally after 40 it's gotten better. More settled in myself, started to figure things out

Between 40 and 50

44 It's been pretty good

45

45 to 50

Right now 46, more authentic and real and connected to the world, less self conscious

For me it was 47

48

For me probably 48

50

Maybe 50

50 years is the best age

50 because all the children were married by then

50 I didn't grow up till I was 50

50 I think because when you're growing up you have questions about everything. At 50 you realize how insignificant you are. So you get more pleasure from it

Over 50

My early 50s were my best years

50s

Probably in your 50s, less worry about little things

I love my 50s, I think 50 and up

50-60

51

In some sense, 54

I think now [54] because I'm happier now than when I was younger. you take more time at things. My comprehension is better. I feel free. You don't have as much time left you want to live life in the moment whether that's reading, meditating or doing a 5k run

55

58

65

67

100

108

100 we should reach that

All have been bad and good

All of them, I've enjoyed my life and can't figure there's a best age

All of us hope the best age is yet to come. Every age has advantages and disadvantages. I think my early 50s, health was good and financially more secure

Any age that you are can be best or worst. It's kind of what you make it. It's all relative

Any age when you're able to make decisions for yourself and love and freedom

Any age you’re feeling good. I did like 30

Awfully difficult to isolate one age. Youth/college/young single and married. Truly would not say one is better than another

Because I'm a senior now, I'd say being a senior and being alive

Childhood

Childhood age

Dad's age

Difficult to say, maybe my Uni days

Every age that you are. I like my 30s over my 20s

Every era has its own great things about it. Life is so simple as kids, as a teen you're gaining independence but protected, as a young adult you're raising a family. Also now- I have a good life with my husband. We're busy but able to make time and enjoy the two of us

For me it's always been where I'm at. I've been pretty fortunate with good health

For some reason I have fond memories of being 11. I just remember having a female friend and playing games, performing arts, creative projects and playing the woods

For the little bit of life I've lived so far. I would probably say my prime would be about 23 physically, and mentally 30

Ga [Grandfather]'s age

Grandma's age

Hard to answer because each of the various stages has highlights. I'm not unhappy being 60 and retired. If I had to pick, I'd say the age you start your family- for me it was 30

I believe it was when my children were small, when I was just married and had my children

I don't know

I don't think I can choose- good memories from every age in my life

I feel like any age can be the best as long as you're following your passions. Hopefully it gets better and better

I guess right now, maybe a few years earlier but up until now

I hope I've yet to experience it

I like now

I made some huge life changes and some wonderful things happened in my 30s. But I've found that there's something wonderful about every decade

I think everyone says this but mine. My mother taught me to always to be positive

I think now

I think that depends on what you do with your life. The best age is more event driven where you have both the physical ability and knowledge exist at the same time for an extended period

I would have said late 20s but I really don't think there's a best age. It's what you make of it

I’d like to think I haven’t reached it. I hope it’s in the future

I'd say now, life is so much more not complicated

I'd say right now. Things have settled down and I'm retired

I'd say the age I'm at now

I'll be cliche and probably say now

I'm hoping I haven't hit it yet. It's a sad thought to think the best years are behind you

I'm not sure

I'm still trying to find that

Mine

My age

Now

Right now

Right now because it'll never happen again

Small age, 10, 5, 6 like that

So many good ones- when you're 5 or 6 and you can first start understanding things but you have all your innocence and are stress free. Second best is 20 because big parts of life are just getting started

The age I am now

The age I am right now

The age of enlightenment

The age where you are not thinking about age

The age you're at

The age that you’re currently at

The current age

The one that you live the most at

They're all good from adult hood on

This age, I like my age

This age, whatever age I am

This one

To me it’s the age I am now. I feel so liberated and more humble

Up to recently I might have said 60s-70s are great times because of mishaps/accidents. I'd say when you have a young family

Up until now- right now- I know I can change the direction of my life

Whatever age you are at the moment. Though I am looking forward to being 30. Because you let go of a lot of things that hold you back

Whatever age you're at

When I married Tony [husband], in 1984, I was 66 years old and that began the best years of my life

When I was a teenager parents were so good to me

When I was little, before messing around and getting involved in drugs

When my first son was born

When you're not afraid to make mistakes

Where I am right now

Where you are right now

Whichever one you're at

Young age

Younger. As I get older I keep thinking of the expression "aging is not for sissies". I have a friend in Chicago who says "Codger-dom has its virtues" and I can see it from both sides

Your current age

Your current age, there's always something good

Youth
