Current Events > If you could start your adult life over again at any time, what time would...

(+) Yeah! (+)

January 1st, 2006. I had just dropped out of college and proceeded to spend a year and half unemployed living with my mom. So much time was wasted doing that.

Id have sacked off my previous girlfriend ten years earlier than we broke up, so around 2012.

Id also have moved to Vietnam much sooner.

2010s and this time i'll actually go to a bronycon

Am I allowed to go back in time and be an adult? I think the 1980s would be a fun time. I don't want to go any further back than that though. I honestly liked growing up in the 90s but the later 2000s rapidly went fast and I was just depressed and gave up too many times etc.

2020

What does this mean? Like I go back to 1970's as a 35 year old man, or I go to the year 2000 as a 11 year old boy with my current mind and memories?

No one wants to go back to the 40s or 50s anyway. This question does leave a lot open to interpretation.

Does this mean being 18 again in any of those times with the memories we have now?

The 80s or 90s would make sense from a money and nostalgia standpoint. But I think I'd have a hard time adjusting to life again without today's technology, then waiting 30-40 years for it to catch back up. The hobbies I have now wouldn't really exist, at least not at this level of functionality.

That was intended to be part of the fun!

Other: 2220 Let's see what future, if any, humanity has

Being an adult post WWII would be absolutely amazing.
50s 60s 70s 80s and 90s are all great answers. Anything 00s 10s 20s, are the only real wrong answers, and it's is entirely to do with Quality of Life, in absolutely all aspects.

You could smoke on planes.

Actually if you wanted to be a criminal the farther back the better. Less communication and you could more easily disappear.

I would honestly choose to be 18 in 1950.

I was born in 76 and I LOVED the 80's and 90's and think everything has been crap since. I really feel like I was born a few decades too late. Even though I'm doing quite well financially I just think it was a bit easier to be more prosperous in the 50's.

I like the Leave it to Beaver lifestyle of the era and yes before everyone jumps down my throat to point out how it was harder for anyone who isn't a cis white male I get that, but this is more just in a fun way and not being all serious.

I feel like this would put me at a point where I would probably be passing away roughly based on average lifespan about 2005 roughly and I would be fine with that. I would live through what I feel to be the best decades for me. I would enjoy life mostly before the explosion of today's technology that I just honestly don't care and barely partake in.

None. I'm at a stage in my life that I'd be sad if I missed (I'm 39, btw) what I've done. My job sucks, I'm barely scraping by money wise, but my life experiences have been wonderful.

Restarting my adulthood would mean ultimately making different decisions. I'm happy with my choices up until now.

I would start it at the beginning and stop being ruled by damage.

'40s women were hot minus all the smoking and lack of womanscaping. But if I found a nonsmoking redhead I could have made it work.

I voted 80z but that's the decades I was born. I would say 2000s/2010s.

Sacked in his context is close to fired. In case you didn't know.

2010 imo.

if i had prior knowledge of events happening.

i was age 24 at the time. think i moved onto the playstation 2.

I mean if it had to be adult life, probably when I turned 18. So mid 2000's.
