What decade of your life did you enjoy the most so far?

Inspired by VinnieVincentsVag being old in the other thread got me thinking which decade for you do you consider best so far.

My 30s by far. You’re not a dumb kid anymore, but still young. You can appeal to both younger and older women. Athletic prime. So far my 50s have sucked and I know it’s only going to get worse

I was Rockin' the most in my teens and 20s.

40s and it’s not even close. I’ll be 42 on Halloween.

This seems like a pretty good answer. I like the rational behind it.

Only a couple years in! Why so great so far? Why so much better than your 30s?

21 - 30 definitely were the best times for me.

I actually started to enjoy life during that time, if that makes any sense.

I’d rather not have been born at all but 0-4 and 12-14 were ok I guess.

It’s a lot of things really. Probably best summed up as good habits and long-game approaches paying off, and making peace with my place in the world.

A lot of folks balk at mental health talk on here. I’ll just say I’m the son of a psychologist, have a psych degree myself, and I’m a tough nut to crack. Things have happened in the past couple of years that have shown me how great life can be even with challenges, and I’m thankful.

Tough to say, I've had ups n downs a plenty, like everyone. However, when scrolling Facebook, there's a certain calmness that washes over me when I see the kids I grew up with & went to grammar school with. For that, I voted 0-10.

I traded the -30 wind chills in the wintertime with 110+ summertime temps. Great trade!

Hell yes. Add to that, good money and mostly single and the 30s ruled.

My 50s started pretty bad too but now I'm single again, changed to a better job and make more money than ever so it can't be all bad...

So far my 50s, but I’m still climbing so ask me again in 10 years.

Sleek · Post by **Sleek** » Fri Jul 18, 2025 11:51 am

I have competing decades. My 20's were amazing, but I am also having a great run here in my late fifties.

We'll see how the next few years play out, but I could go with either.

Born in 1927. So when he was playing with Mick he would have been 50ish. I know he was old, but I don't think he was that old.

Wiseacre · Post by **Wiseacre** » Fri Jul 18, 2025 7:42 pm

The first one. I don’t remember the first half and a lot of the 2nd half was Star Wars and KISS which was fucking awesome.

Off I could go off-menu I’d have said 5-15.

Yeah there’s no way that date is correct. He wasn’t born in 1927. He’d be fucking 98 years old today
