I’d like to be mid-40s, just starting an exciting new job with wonderful colleagues, the best boss ever, and in a stunningly beautiful place. No aches or pains and brimming with enthusiasm and optimism. :)

But no, I’m 65 and feeling the sympathy for my parents’ aging issues that the younger me rolled her eyes at.

Ain't that the truth!

I would like to be 35, i.e. old enough to be mature and young enough to do all the physical activities I enjoy without needing Ibuprofen. ;)
That's hard... I like being an adult so I wouldn't want to go back to childhood or even high school, but pretty much any age after that would be OK.

I second "old enough to be mature and young enough to not need Ibuprofen." :lol:

Maybe around 40. Old enough to know who I am, young enough to do the things I want to do physically. And young enough that I have time to make changes, take chances. I am 67 and I am feeling life flying by. My best friend just died suddenly at 55, so I guess I am really feeling aware of mortality.

It's very hard for me to pick an age that I would like to go back to. So many aspects of life come into play at different ages.
Knowing what I know now, I would like to be in the same situation (financially secure, retired, children grown) but have a 45 year old body instead of my current 65 year old body.
