I have asked myself this within the last week after visting my parents in my home town. I am in my early 30's.
The answer is no - it wasn't wasted. Some of the stuff that I did was damn fun! However, if I could go back again, I would do a lot of things differently but in the end I would want the same outcome - where I am now.
You can't live by the regret that 'you should have'. Think of some of the things you wish you had done and see if they fit into what you can do now. I am still a big kid but i am happy to be that way. Yes, I can be professional with work and other commitments but on the flipside i can screw around so much with my mates and my wife. I intend to always enjoy life.
My suggestion to anyone that thinks they have wasted their youth - think about the good times or funny stuff that you did and smile - it was worth it!
Look forward to the good times ahead - being conscious of enjoying yourself will lead to more adventures and fun times.
