I loved being 30! That year was awesome. Moved to New York. Got my first job in marketing research. Purchased my first home (a condo in Piermont) and started working on Madison Avenue.
And while I don’t typically represent the norm, in this case, I’m pretty close to the rest of the United States as Americans on average say 29 was the best year of their lives.
But as with most data, we are not homogenous in our thinking here.
- As we get older, our “favorite” age increases right along with us. On average,
- 18-29 year olds say 18.
- 30-39 year olds say 25.
- 40-49 year olds say 27.
- 50-64 year olds say 34.
- 65+ year olds say 43.
- Very few people cite anything within a 5-year range of their current age, especially as they get older.
What has been your favorite age and why?
