If you could transport yourself back to a personal age, any age, what would it be? This question is not 'what era would I like to be in'? That is for another thread and we will put that under the title 'what era would you like to be living in', but rather just would you like to go back in time in your own life?
What prompted my interest in this topic is that people sometimes say "I wish I was 20 again", or whatever age. But having given it a lot of thought in my own context, I think I would pass on the transporter and stay right where I am, right now, at 68. For me the reason is simple - I worked pretty hard in life, educated the kids, went through some very lean financial times, but now I have eventually got to a point where I have the means to make the dreams come true, the means being the financial wherewithall, time and freedom to spend that precious time. Modern life with a good dose of nostalgia suits me just fine.
So do you have a time that was so utterly wonderful for you that you would go back there, or maybe for a few visionaries to jump ahead a few years is the way forward?
