Well i would say 17, but i am doing pretty freaking good right now (27 now). Life is what you make it.
 
it hasn't happened yet ... but while we're counting, i'm gonna say last year (my junior year at college) was really good. we moved into a house in the city, had good times at the bars, and i spent a lot of doing what I loved. then it kind of fell apart, and this summer sucked.

But as of right now, this year is shaping up to be really freakin good. I'll update you on the end of the school year.

I'm the type of person who doesn't look back on the past. I always try to make the next year better than the last, and i will continue this lifestyle until the day I die (which will probably be a bad year haha)
 
when i turned 21 and it keeps on getting better.

23 and 24 have been really really good years.

Agreed, I'm 34, and it keeps getting better every year.

Most of you guys are sad - life doesn't peak in high school. I had a great time back then, but it pales in comparison with my life right now.
 
2nd grade was cool.
so was senior year of high school and freshman year of college.
summer of 2001 was really fun as well.
 
At 17 I hitchhiked out to Fort Collins Colorado and lived there for a few years in a house with 6 college students (4 girls and 2 guys, one being my older brother)
I was the very best time of my life and a very long and interesting story.

After over 5 decades . . . it just keeps gettin' better. 😉

really (really) Surprised me! :shocked:
(i had NO idea there was life after 50) 😛
:roll:
 
for me it was the summer between the 9th and 10th grades (1984). for some reason that summer was magical for me, everything was just perfect.
 
19-20. Little to no responsibility, easy money, lots of partying, I was in love, and all of my friends were still a very tight knit group.

i guess everyone has a magic "Summer of '69'"
:roll:

Who wrote that song, anyway?

personally i liked "Jack'n Diane" . . . 😉
(another good song of youth)
:roll:


edit: almost everyone . . . my time is NOW. 🙂

:roll:


 
The best times so far was in my 30s but I'm improving on that now that I'm in my 40s. The most carefree time was when I was a kid though.
 
It is hard to say because they are diferent stages in life.
I had a blast from 1992 to 1995. Going out clubbing, partying and basically wasting 50% of my salary on beer and night life in general.
Then there were a couple of years vacuum when I worked for a big corporation. Mostly work and life pretty much $ucked a$$.
Got a new job in '99 andstarted to enloy myself more again. Not going out much but just to relax and feel good.
Got yet another new job in 2002 and moved to the US. Got into biking a bit more.

It's a tough call. I have a good time now but not in the same way as '92 - '95. There were definately more women back then.

I should say that I was in the age 20 to 30 in the 90's.
