are you happier in your 20's or 40's?

I think I will probably be happier in my 40's since I am building so much.

 

I hated my twenties, not loving my thirties much either. I hope my forties are good.

 

I cannot say, really. I think the happiest day of my life was one day after my 27th birthday. I was so surprised. I do not hate my forties. I still have a lot to see, do and learn. God willing.

 

I'm more content with myself now in my 30s and really hope to accomplish some things before I die. I hope my 40s is a place where I experience so long awaited dreams. Some financial security, a beautiful family with my gorgeous unbelievable girlfriend and still having get togethers with friends and family. There's not much more I can hope for.
I do feel a little sorry those who peak early. Minus the money which is amazing, what's next for someone like Mark Zuckerberg or the guys who created Google and Youtube. I wonder after all the financial success do they feel an obligation to make the world better. I know I would.

 

I think I'm just as happy in my very early 30s, as I was in my 20s, just for different reasons. In my early 20s I enjoyed nothing but quality time with my husband...it felt like constant vacations, get togethers, parties and fun! Now that I'm in my early 30s, my happiness is derived from raising my children, and my professional accomplishments. Equally as happy, but my priorities have shifted.

I honestly hope it only gets better in my 40s. Kids will be young adults by that point so I'm sure my focus will once again change, but I hope to still find happiness in my day-to-day life.

 

Definetely my 40's!!

 

I was happier in my twenties. Life was more balanced.

 

My 20's were good times my early and mid 40's sucked..f it is God's will my late 40's will be much better actually looking forward to the 50's I keep hearing the 50's is a blast

 

Early 20's! Was traveling around the world having the time of my life! :smt001

 

I must've missed that memo.

 

generally happy now, hope i'm also happy in my 40's

 

I think my happiness is the same, today in my 40's, because I am, who I am. I won't be happier in another Country, either, or if I would be married. The happiness you find always in yourself. But in general I would say that I belong to the happy People, I don't take life and especially problems that serious

 

My 20s were fun...I had my boys in my 20s and was extremely happy w their father. They were my world back then, nothing else existed...i was overseas and traveling...seeing the world while serving in the Navy.

But I'm at the end of my 30s now and as Raider said, my priorities shifted a lot. My careers are big to me, I'm finding myself and investing more in my interests. I have learned a lot and know better...I have let go of my inhibitions and am learning to embrace being more outspoken and confident in who I am. So I truly believe my 40s are going to be more enjoyable...i have so much more to enjoy! My family is my life...and I'm enjoying seeing them grow up.

 

My Take

I don't remember much from 21 - 25.

25-29 - I lived life by what other thought of me and seldom thought of my future. I lived on the edge and never cared about consequences.

30-35 - I realized no one gives a good god dam about me nor my future except myself. My self respect became much more important than ever. I prioritize important things and rarely sweat the small things....I have learned to take nothing personally .....

When I am 40 I may be turned in for two twenties lmfao!!!!!!

 

I feel like I am in my 30's by that description.

 

Truth!
