[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Definitely 20 (and I had mine at 30/32/34). [b]In your 20s you're poor and stupid[/b]. I'm so looking forward to my 50s. Traveling the world with DH and being young enough and wealthy enough to enjoy it. I was never a big partier though. [/quote]

Hmm...

In my 20s, I had a reasonably well paying job for a single person and generally I wouldn't go with stupid.  I was also not a big partier.

Things I did:

-Lived alone.  Traveled alone.  (Think both of these are pretty formative.  Who are you in relation to no one else in your life?  No parents, siblings, partners, boyfriends/girlfriends, spouse)
-Dated a bunch.  (Did not sleep around, not that that wouldn't have been fine too.  Just not my scene.)
-So much quality time with friends.  It's also a great time of life because most everyone is on the same financial footing at that point.  (Something I realize in middle age is not the case anymore and can be challenging.)  Friendships that endure to this day and add so much to my life.
-Grad school.  Really focused on setting myself up for the career I have today.
