Which Decade Do You Miss Most?

The '90s were my best years. Those were my college days and it was a time when I felt like my options were limitless and my future was bright. I was no spring chicken. I turned 40 in 1997 but felt like a kid! I was in love, had a sportscar (after graduating and going to work), and wasn't yet totally disillusioned with the world! :ROFLMAO:
 
I guess late 50's, early 60's. Life was pretty easy going for me with 3 older siblings and 3 younger. We always had something to do. Holidays with family, aunts, uncles and cousins. Mom made all the desserts (pies, etc). The cottage last full week of July and camping in Algonquin Park for the first week of August. We played outside alot and with the neighbouring kids. I remember my first adult-sized (used bike from a cousin) as a grade 8 graduation present - I loved that bike and rode it everywhere.
 
Remember the good old 1980's
When things were so uncomplicated
I wish I could go back there again
And everything could be the same

From 21-30 (1981-1990) it was succinctly like David Lee Roth said "A decade long wet t-shirt party" Reno, Vegas, Reno, Vegas, Reno, 5,000 mile two-week trip to see relatives with niece along. (She was 7 then in 1986)

My God, Mom bought a 1985 Ford Escort L. That little thing with only 4 cyl did that trip on $200 in gas. That was one car Ford made I actually liked.
 
I liked what little I remember of the 1950's because I was born in that decade, so there isn't much. But, I LOVED the sixties. The music and art were great and so many people were free spirits doing what they wanted to do in their lives instead of what they were dictated to do. There was much more unity amongst people then which made the fabric of society less tense than it is now. There was less selfishness also. People seemed more focused on their higher nature than they became in subsequent decades.

For me, the 1970’s and 1980’s were my prime time. I was young then, had plenty of energy, and was supported and appreciated at work, where people always had each other’s back, and the atmosphere was that of an extended family. A superior would actually call me off hours when he went someplace to see if I wanted to go along! Nowadays, the management mentality seems to view people as disposable commodities, and if you aren’t visibly suffering, then you aren’t working hard enough…
 
It's easy for me to say the 70s because I was in the transition from being a kid to a teenager but I'm not sure if it had been fun if I had been an adult considering all the political and economic turmoil. But it was a fun decade as a kid. Overall though I would say the 90s. Things just seemed to click in place for me then.
