    If it isn't now, you're doing it wrong.

    You can think that life peaks at 25-40, but remember this; You could be dead this time tomorrow.

    I'll neg the first person to say "YOLO."
    Yolo

    Seventy.

    Nothing says fun like osteoarthritis and a lack of knee cartilage.

    Yeahhhh, to bad I don't have a gf right now otherwise I could dream.

    Which brings me onto why I'm actually on this thread, job-wise: When I can finally open my IT consulting business.

    Life-wise: When I get to start a family.

    University years I would say.

    Meeting new people and doing what you want. Going out often, drinking excessively, and doing very stupid things with (hopefully) very few consequences. Having relatively few binding commitments, whilst having the liberty and resources to immerse and challenge yourself intellectually in whatever really interests you most.

    I can't life getting much better than that, though for the sake of myself and pretty much everybody else on this forum, I hope it does. :cool:

    At 22, I have to say 17 was a great year. The year I lost my virginity ( :ninja: ) and really discovered nightlife. Traveled quite a lot with (the girl who was then) my best friend. I was a romantic optimist, yet my heart didn't belong to anyone. Life was good.
    The girl and I are not close anymore, I live abroad and I'm already a bit fed up with clubbing. Will try my best to make this year amazing, but summer is starting with heartache so
    As others mentioned, the year I have a baby :o:

    The best time of your life could be everyday depending on how look at life and don't be negative

    There's always a positive to pull back the negatives

    Live life to the full everyday

    Re: What age is the 'best' time of your life?
    i always hope that the next year will always be a bit better than then last.

    but then again my life feels very suffocating and always has done ever since i can remember, cos i have a helicopter mum and i am a cotton wool kid. so ultimately i think im going to be happiest when i finally feel some real independance and hopefully tht will either be when i start college in sept this year or 2014 when i start uni.

    or maybe when i find true love... whatever comes first!
