My best years were 17 - 25 (late 60s/early 70s)Complete freedom, no ties whatsoever and fun, fun, fun. When I look back it is always to those times. I packed so much in. However, I couldn't live that sort of life forever!! After a while it would become tedious.
I must admit I think I got married too young. But don't regret who I married. I would have loved more years of no ties. Never had a child until 36 though.
