How old are you now and how old did you wish you were now and why?

Question

Ok I am 20 and I wish I was 18. Because I pretty much wasted those years of my life,had lame job barely supporting my self, didnt study, didn't party, and free time that I had I spent watching TV and in computer which is prettty sad I know. I am changing my life now as much as possible but hey you can't take that time back.
Ok so how old are you now and how old you want to be and why?

Answer 1

I'm 21 now and I wish I could be 21 for the rest of my life. I don't want to grow up. I want to be able to continue living and learning as much as I can without ever growing old.

Answer 2

I am 40...and that could be quite a scary number for a woman. Many people think that I am at my early 30's...and I had my big moment when I had to show my ID when I bought rated R movie from the store ( Oscar winning movie "Crash" )
I still feel young "inside"...what I mean that when I look at the mirror, I realize that life has happened to me since I was 20 like you. I think that 35 would be good, but the age is just a number. I have learned a lot during these last 5 years.
You have not wasted anything yet. It is never too late to restart. Do not worry, many jobs barely support you. JOB= just over broke. Learn some skills and start up your own business. You can do it. Keep a job until you make your business work. If you do not want to start up your own business, perform always your very best...other opportunities will follow you. You just need to have a courage to catch your opportunity. opportunity will never get lost, if you do not take it...it will go to somebody else...just keep your eyes open, learn new skills...AND WARM UP FOR A QUANTUM LEAP!

Answer 3

Hmm well Im 25, and I wish I was 4 or 5 again, when I didnt have a worry in the world, and before my mom passed away =( Cuz now Im bustin my A$$ working two jobs, living by myself and barely gettin around. But I kinda like how old I am right now, cuz I still think thats its really nice to grow old.

But your only 20?? some clubs or bars wont even let you in unless your 21!! So you can still party and dance your a$$ off til the early mornin. Theres plenty of time for that, Im a bartender I should know ♥

Answer 4

Im 50.
I would like tobe 25 again with all the knowledge I have now.
I would have becoime a plumber rather than a printer.
I would have invest $10k in Westinghouse (would be worth over $60 million today).
I would have bought a house as soon as I had a job and a down payment.
I wouldnt have married my first partner since he didnt love me and cheated on me dying from AIDS in 1984 and destroying my entire life.As a result I wouldnt have been a hopeless drunk like I was for 10 years afterwards.
I would have made my mother go to the hospital and get a breast examination before it became too out of control and killing her in 1983. I would have done the same with my father's brain tumor in 1991.

Answer 5

I'm 17 wishing I was 19 because if I was 19, I could get my life started and move away. I had to grow up fast because my father was a very abusive man so I feel mentally I am much older. Then again, I guess I should enjoy this laying around time while I've got it?

Answer 6

I'm 18 years old (still lucky, I guess). People of this age often want to define themselves. Some guys like to be around people, and others prefer to be alone and sometimes are conditioned as "antisocial". The point is that, whatever you want to do with your life, it must always be in balance with what you believe in. I'm an introvert guy, but I'm very happy being one. If you're happy being a lot more social, do it. Do what you want... what you think will make you a happier person.

Anyway, I have to answer your question... =)... I'm 18, and I wish I was older, maybe like 30. I don't know why, but I sometimes feel a lot more mature than most guys around my age. But I was raised that way, and I'm happy being myself. You should too. Trust me, If you don't treat yourself right... who will? Do what you think is right.

Answer 7

I'm 39 and I wish I was 27 because I had the opportunity to have a child then and I decided to wait. I know I'm not too old yet but by the time I find a partner I might be.

Answer 8

I am happy to say, I will be 50 in a few months and can't wait for the huge party that my family is planning. Just a few years ago I was quite sure I would not live long enough to see my 45th let alone 50th. Don't have regrets. Live life...every day, like it's your last.

Answer 9

Im 21 but I wish I was 16 cause then Id still be under the support of my parents and all Id have to do is go to school and not worry about bills.

Answer 10

I'm 33. If I could do things over again I think I would go all the way back to age 12. Thats when I started making some poor decisions that would affect me for the rest of my life.
