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
