chakademus   10 #1 Posted August 16, 2018 I agree, had a terrible time poor, depressed most of it, feeling lost & everybody makes out this is greatest time of life. Any decade you didnt like & why? https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/mar/21/toughest-decade-life-surviving-20s-job-coming-out-love Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

GoGo_dancer   10 #3 Posted August 16, 2018 A lot of people say their school years were the best, but I'd say ages 10 - 16 were my very worst, for reasons I won't go into on a public forum. After that I got a job and started to enjoy living by my own rules. My early 20's were terrible in some ways but like a lot of people in those articles, I miss the freedom I had back then and never really appreciated how easy my life was at that stage. Oh to be able to go back and give my younger self some advice!! So many things I would have done differently!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

steve68 Â Â 66 #8 Posted August 16, 2018 just been watching a YouTube video from circa 1990 my old workplace in London, I'd have been around 22yrs at that time, I don't think I've had a bad decade, by society standards I'd have been classed as monitory poor, but happy throughout. Â Had to laugh as in nearly 28yrs, I've not changed much at all other than I'd never wear double denim again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

vwkittie   10 #11 Posted August 17, 2018 I had a steady job and bought my first house by 22.  Am 33 now and still in the same job (which I enjoy) with the same partner, although we've moved to a much nicer house now.  Only bad bit was when he got made redundant and struggled to find a new job for a while, but that could have happened at any age. Other than that we had a great time and I wouldn't change a thing  What's supposed to be the difference between your 20s and any other bit of adulthood?

Our value in the marketplace is a steady decline & occurs later. Women's plummets 35-40 as they hit the wall.
