“I have grown into a person I like.”
Does it get better after your 20s?"
and we decided to round up the best responses:
1.
“I’m 34 and I’d say the last four years have been the best so far.”
“I just turned 51.
Some things are better, like sex.
Some things are harder, like recovering after sex.
However, my 20s were especially crappy for situational reasons.
So, yes so far my 50s are way better than my 20s.”

“I’m 60, and every year has been the best.”
“You truly don’t know how wonderful life is until it’s sucked.

“32-40 have been my best years.
“My 30s were awesome, it gets much better after your 20s.
You have more money, better sex, and are more comfortable in your own skin.
40s thus far have been good other than the slowing of my metabolism.”

I think almost every year has been better than the previous year.
I feel better, have more money, Im happier and more confident.”
“I am not even 32 yet and my thirties have already been the better decade than my twenties.
