Old enough to run for president, old enough to know what I want and what I am doing in my life. Old enough to get taken seriously by people.

I was thinking older, but really I think being young where you don't have any responsibilites would be great. I am so tired of changing diapers and paying the mortgage. but not too young I really hated school. maybe like 18, old enough to buy porn, too young to own a house.

21. That was my first time touring with a band and had the time of my life. Chicks, chicks and more chicks. Sometimes two at a time.

Also gave me alot of insight as to how many people are full of shit just to get a piece of what you have. I learned more when I was 21 than the previous 20 leading up to it. And almost 20 years later I can honestly say that defined who I am today albeit I am still growing and changing as a person.

Hi all,
hmm well that depends, do i get to keep the knowledge that i have accumulated all these years? If so then I would say about 20. Still vibrant and young, with a whole life ahead of me. I would say i wasted a good part of the next 14 years to follow.

I would do a lot of things differently, study harder at university, get into the field i really wanted (accounting) and plan my savings earlier. I would be further ahead in my career and most of my planned early retirement egg would be in place.

Gotten into a gym earlier and get into the shape i am in now.. i look 100 times better than when i was in university.. can u believe that? for a guy?

Also the sex would be a whole lot better , definitely explored more with my gfs at the time and not waste time on the ones who wanted to play games.... ahh those wasted years... "time lost is never found"

if i could take with me what i've learned, then park me in about somewhere betwixt 23 & 26, when my body was youthful & i was full of energy.

18. I'd like to take another shot at college. If I didn't loaf it for the first 3 years, my average would have been alot better. Plus I've definitely missed out on alot of fun. Damn you, MMORPGs!

i would have to say around late 20's to early 30's. That way I will have a decent job, my own place, and will be taken seriously by all those around me.

however, this is subject to change depending on what i feel like when i actually reach that age

I'm 22 now and it seems like a great age...but I'm a slacker and don't have a job. 19 would be great again, just go to college and chill. I guess I should be living it up now since lots of posters think I'm the prime age. =/

I'd give it around 27. Old enough to do everything, probably well enough established to have money to do a lot of things.. probably either have a family or begin establishing one..

I just assume that the world is peachy after 27. I bet when I hit 27 and am still some hippie punk kid, I'll cry.

I think the last time I was truely happy with myself was the summer after highschool. I'd like to be 18 again and stay that way. But I also think that the it's also the time in history that matters too. I'm sure being 18 today would have been different than it was 5 yrs or 10 yrs ago......

my current age is fine but I would like to be able 'borrow' the 17-18 year old body/vetical (from the neck down at least) now just to play basketball with on occasion.
A few select joints seem to have taken a dim view of my abuse on them in the past decade or so with nowhere enough sleep or food at times.

that was a memorable summer/autumn for me as it was my 'downtime' between high school and the military, and also involved waiting for almost broken/very badly sprained elbow to heal enough so I could leave for the Great Lakes.

I'm feeling pretty good about 23 at the moment. I suppose there are good aspects to every age - the trick is putting yourself in the position to take advantage of them.

I like living through all of life's akward ages, so I wouldn't want to change my age.

However, 20 years from now, I will probably want to be this age again.

What a thought, staying a cetain age forever! I think I would choose 21 or 22. I had some great times in those years, before any real responsibilities hit, and partied like a rock star. I was still playing plenty of golf, and baseball. Yep, that's where I'd like to be.

Generally, I am more content with life as I get older. I was a mess in my early twenties. I have no intention of repeating that again. This year I pick 29. Next year 30 and so on. My grand plan is to retire in my 60s and sit on the front porch drinking lemonade. I wouldn't be able to achieve that being stuck at 18.
