5.
When you're younger you feel like you have less responsibility. Your world is more innocent and carefree.

5 years old. One prepubescent summer is the equivalent of 5 postpubescent. Everything is new, innocent, and easy. To repeat every experience that a human goes through from 5 years old is much better than that of a 60 year old. At 5 you have a decade or so until you can make your own decisions. At 60, you have the same amount of time before your decisions are taken away from you, along with your license, spouse, and possibly your home. This isn't to mention the looming possibility of death being so much closer.

I'm going to go with 60, and I'll tell you why. I've got a lot planned for my retirement, even though I'm still an easy 20 or 25 years away from it. I've already been 5. A fast forward to retirement would be cool. I'll probably be bungee jumping or building race cars or something. Living on a boat! 60's going to rule.

i would like to be 5 years old because i can have lots of fun and stay active and get away with stuff cause your small and cute
but if your 60 and you get in trouble its serious business and besides your not active and poss ably in a wheel chair. And when your 5 you will be 60 in 55 years so until then you got your whole life ahead of you. when your 60 your life starts quieting down.

Neither, I would like to be in my 20's...because 5 years old, its all about playing and crying, and 60..I see myself in the hospital all the time...
In my 20's I would have a world to discover, to live, and learn...

I'd rather be 60 because I could do more because society only gives adults rights. Apparently contrary to everyone else, I can enjoy things when I'm not a child.

60. i'd be retired while social security and medi-care still exist!
i will have KNOWN a world before 9/11
i will have known what it was like to play outside without fearing abduction
i will have known life before people walked around with fruit in their pockets (blackberry) and teeth in their ears (bluetooth)
i would have seen the greatest triumphs in this country (civil rights movement, womens lib, baby boom, tech race) and not just its darker hours
and free love without aids wouldn't be half bad either ;)
