Which decade(s) were/are the best times of your life?

[Nathan]

The 50s-60s & 70s are fading, I still of course remember events but my "emotional" attachment to those times has significantly decreased. For me, the 80s & 90s are taking over as "the best times of my life". The music, my love life, the general quality of life were on a roll.
...I have more to add, how about you?

 

[Aunt Marg]

For me, the 60's, the 70's, and the 80's!

Can't tell you how often I dream of those lost days, wishing I could go back.

The lifestyle, the music, the fun!

 

[Sassycakes]

The 50's growing up, The 60's getting married and the 70's having my 2 children.

 

[Knight]

Late 50's 1958 1959 when out on my own the best decades began. So many different events in each decade since including this one, have elements that make each the best

 

[macgeek]

For me, the 60's, the 70's, and the 80's!

 

[hollydolly]

The 70's for sure.... I loved the music, the fashions, ..I had my 21st Birthday in '76, got married and had my baby the same year ..

 

[Pinky]

Late 60's, 70's and 80's. I cant complain about the latter years, or even right now.
I'm a happy camper

I'd have to say the 70's. I married in 1969 and became a mother in 1970. We lived in a foreign country with lots of adventures. Then we lived in two different states before settling in the third state. All this happened in 10 years. Big changes all around.

 

[gennie]

For me it was 1990 to 2000

 

[Aunt Bea]

For me, each decade has been good for very different reasons but I'm more than a little leery of this one.

 

[Lewkat]

The 1950s for certain. Late 40s weren't bad either.

 

[Lewkat]

If this decade portends our future, watch out.

 

[Ruthanne]

60s and 80s and part of the 70s-latter part. Growing up, finding love.

 

[PamfromTx]

70's and 80's

 

[Gaer]

1959 to 1962. Wow! Not much for a lifetime. 1991 and 1992 were pretty good. I still have hopes for 2021 and 2022.

 

[Ruth n Jersey]

The 50s for sure, and the 70s when I had my kids. The hubby didn't know what a recliner was back then, We both worked hard at fixing up our new home,the family was still with us. Life was good.

 

[peppermint]

The 50's and 60's till the 70's....I was married in 1965 to my husband....We had our son a year later and in 2 more years our daughter...
We didn't own a home....We were in a little aparatment first then we found a bigger house to rent...We couldn't buy a home until we moved
to Ohio and found a home of our own ....But I didn't like it there, we decided to sell the home and come back to NJ....Where my husband
traveled to NYC...for work and I found a Secretary job in a new school ….I was there for 25 years and retired.....We are still in the same home....

 

[Keesha]

Late 70’s and ‘80’s. Such fun!
I went to hundreds of concerts and the best parties ever. That’s when I liked people.

 

[Lakeland living]

I have to say the last 30 years have been the best, figured out what I wanted and went for it. That is how long I have been here.
Great to live where I live and still have the technology available to live comfortably. There is a lot of work here to keep me moving...lol
Bears on my deck, Moose looking in my kitchen window.
And one day an Elk showed up in my driveway, he was a beauty. Just a bit of a sample.

 

[Lakeland living]

Almost teared up there....lol

I don't think I can really pick a favorite, each has been different in it's own way and has had highlights none of the others have had.

The closest I can get to it is picking my favorite years of my life would would probably be my college years (Fall 75 - Spring 82). I was on a parental scholarship so I didn't have to worry about paying for my studies both during or after going to school. The first four years I lived at home and went to Junior College which was just $15 a semester health fee plus books and other supplies which were of course all paid for by my folks. Then the last three I was in university living in the dorms during the school year and living at home summers and holidays. There were lots of great friend, activities, classes, experiences, etc...

However I've had so many amazing experiences since then I wouldn't trade where I am today to go back to living as I did then.

I'd have to say the 70's. I married in 1969 and became a mother in 1970.

Me too!
I too married in '69
Didn't become a mother in '70, but seems little gooey beings were around from '70 something on

Great music in the '60s and '70s

For me, it was probably the 1960's. I spent 4 years in Germany, and toured Europe extensively. Then, I found a nice German girl to marry, and we're still doing good after 55+ years.
