Best period of a person's life.

[UdoKier]

Poll question: Best period of a person's life.

When is the best period of a person's life?

[Ron Green]

1. After 50! No contest!

Got some money, everything's paid for, kids are grown and doing OK, figured out some spiritual issues, still curious about the world, fit enough to climb and run and do stuff...youngsters, the best is truly yet to come.

8. I agree.

I'm 52 now and after spending my entire life running in circles, it seems that I finally can relax a bit and I have the perspective to appreciate it.

And it *is* nice to have the kids out of the house and things peaceful.

2. Other: 7th Period.

School's over for the day and it's time to play! (Homework? What homework?)

3. Well, the goods and bads are different

At 21, life WAS one BIG party. You get to this age, and you start living kinda poor trying to pay off that party, but all around you people are getting married, buying house, having kids. It really is a magical time.
I'd say I had more "Fun" as an under 24 ...but life has become more interesting to me now.

5. Read my above post

I loved college to, and had such a blast, but afterward - life gets strange in a good way.

6. I hate to link it to a paricular age, but it is when...

...a woman is trying to get pregnant. I know I was happy A LOT when my wife was trying to get into the family way.

10. I am 33 years old, soon to be 34

and things just get better and better!!!

My childhood was horrible, same for adolescence (but horrible with more nightmare-ish dimensions), my twenties had bi-polar disorder: I graduated from college! got married! started career! became a mother! bought our first house! but that decade was also VERY stressful!!! Very...tumultuous.

Then I hit my 30s. Child is older. Career humming along nicely. Marriage only getting better. Feeling more and more comfortable with who I am, what I believe, how I look. Caring less and less what other people think.

Old enough to be taken seriously, young enough to still have a REALLY good time, far enough along in life to have the money to do it with.

If the thirties are THIS awesome, I say to my forties: bring it ON!

I can't wait.

11. I can't answer.

I'm only 24 and have thus only experienced the first four periods.

But of those, I liked my childhood the best, mostly because I lived in Berlin at the time. High school years would come next, and then college (not to say that I don't like my college years, but high school was just more fun).

12. Damn! I guess I've peaked and am on the way down.

I'm 38.

13. Don't believe it.

Listen to Moonbeam, above. Most of the (younger) people here think it's about sex and partying, just as I did "back in the day." If you just live your life in a thoughtful way, it gets better and better. Funny how that works.

14. Depends on the person. Depends on the life.

For me, I'd have some wonderful blessings and some pretty awful stuff and each period I've experienced thus far (I'm 32). I'd like to think "the best is yet to be", but then again, I really don't know whether that will be true or not.

15. The one you are currently in.
