I turned 40 yesterday and it got me thinking: What decade of life do you believe is generally the best based on a normal trajectory of factors such as health, family, career, finances, freedom, etc.?

either 20s or 40s

20s you probably have more freedom, more relationships, more flexibility, healthier, more energy, etc, but you have less money

40s you should be settled in nicely and found your niche in life by then, kids are older, which should give you more free time and flexibility, further in your career which means you should have more money

30s are probably the hardest for a lot of people considering you are probably raising young children, trying to advance in your career and accepting your not in your 20s anymore and starting to feel the effects of aging....I'm 34

10-20.

Eat what you want. Do what you want. Hang out with your friends and play sports. You can make mistakes that barring something really stupid don’t have life altering consequences. You can mess with women and if it doesn’t work out they don’t take half your shite. Then you get to go to college and experience the first true years of freedom and independence.

Plus you can stay up all night drinking, take two aspirin and some Gatorade and then be ready to run a marathon.

Varies depending on your life strategy.

For me, probably 35-45.

1. Early 40's had a son late in life, watching him play sports, grow up and being my best buddy.

2. 30's out of college a few years and making good money with no debt, nice car and playing top golf courses in Houston every weekend. Slamming hots on the reg with no consequences or responsibility.

I'd say it depends on the person.

20's you have all kinds of freedom, but your income and expenses are still a pretty big concern.

30's have a lot going for them. Income is better. If you're a bachelor you have enough money but you're still young enough that you become very eligible to the ladies. If not you get the younger years of marriage and playing with kids.

40's you should be even better off financially (if you haven't divorced) but your body has started slowing down and the twenty something pieces of tail start to think you're old. Or the kids start to be rebellious and college expenses start to creep in your mind.

I'd personally say 30's, but I'm also 25. Still victim to "the grass in greener" fallacy.

20s were good. Had lots of fun. Energetic, healthy, no kids til 29. I was naieve and immature still, tho.

I'm pushing 35 and so when I turned 32, I started to feel heart murmurs and flutters. Then I started thinking a lot about death and how we aren't here forever. Then at 33 I started getting abdominal pains. Still don't know what it is.

34 I got back pains.

I really don't want to get any older!!

My 30s were awesome. Making enough money to do whatever you want, still young enough to go out and party and not look weird, single, and lived in Austin.

If you are doing it right, all of it should be great. Just different seasons.

10 to 20, but stupid kids don't know how good they have it until they grow up and life mugs them.

Next is probably 50 to 60 for successful people. Kids generally finish growing up, career is going well (money generally isn't a problem), grandkids start showing up and most folks are still years away from serious health issues.

Of course for the losers of the world, most days/months/years suck.

40s for me, but the 50s haven't sucked so far.
