That’s hard to say. It's one of the last 2 decades for sure.

In the 60s I was in my teens and was pretty much under the control of high school and parents, plus the Viet Nam war was hanging over everyone’s head. It was a dark, unhappy time.

70s – I was flailing, in college, changing majors, changing jobs, looking for who I was. The upside of this decade was that I had a lot of jobs and learned a lot of skills. I worked as a line mechanic in a car dealership, an appliance repairman, a clerk in a small hardware store, an industrial painter, and a welder. I never really found myself but I learned a lot of useful stuff. At some point I smacked myself in the head and asked, “What are you worth? What is your purpose in life? Who the f**k are you?” I challenged myself and quit drinking and smoking and got serious about finally getting my physics degree.

80s – the 80s sucked. I dropped my major down from physics to engineering, which felt like a failure, plus I wasn’t getting along with my life partner and mother of my son. I was working as an engineer at an aerospace shop, which was kind of fun until I got "promoted" to an office position. Bored. Started grad school because I didn’t know what else to do with myself. I felt like the guy in Jackson Brown's "Pretender."

90s- I effin' kicked it all. Separated from my son’s mom. Quit my job. Started my own company and worked 18 hours a day, 7 days a week for years to get it going. It was exhilarating and I felt reborn, but I was so busy and there was so much happening so fast that it retrospect it was just a blur. I married someone and then divorced her.

2000s – This might be the best decade, but only at the end. My company was doing great and I was getting complacent. I traveled a lot, had a lot of women come and go, but I felt like it was the 70s again and I was flailing again. I was getting that “What are you worth? What is your purpose in life? Who the f**k are you?” moment all over again and I needed to challenge myself. I started another company, went back to flying, started roller blading and running marathons. By the end of the 2000s I felt powerful and in control of my life.

2010s – OK THIS might be the best decade. I had known MrsWD for a few years, but never really “saw” her. She finally came into focus in about 2008. Everything else paled. I was in my 60s and it was time for another life change. I sold my businesses and planned to spend every day with her. I discovered that my purpose in life is to be a partner to MrsWD.

2020 – Same as above. Except for health issues things are just getting better. I’m content and sure that my reason for being here on earth is to walk hand in hand with MrsWD every day. In this respect I think I'm looking forward to my best decade.

Born in 1964 so late sixties into the middle 90's. I loved every second of school. I grew in a New Jersey Seashore town with a year round population of 5000 resident. In the winter it was Mayberry. Everyone knew everyone. In the summer the town exploded into a giant amusement park. Headliners playing local bars all summer. Elton John, The Who, Kiss and more. Surfing, sailing, bought my 911 in 1984.

It was a great time to grow up. I understand my little town was really something in the 1950's-1960's also.

(Born in 65)

I hate to say it but for me it was the 80s... I was young and the music was great.

I'm doing OK right now but my biggest problem is boredom.

No glory days or nostalgia for me, the here and now is the best time of my life. Of course I've had good times and bad times, but it's all been interspersed and imoossible to divide into good or bad decades.

Probably the 80's. Discharged from the Army at the beginning of the decade, doing finish carpentry on beach houses at Silver Strand in Oxnard, running around and enjoying life.

Or as my Grandfather put it, "Seeing more ass than a toilet seat". Yeah, good times, good times.....

But today's not so bad either.

Late 70's to early 90's. Learned to sail in the 70's when I was 10, five years later had a Hobie 14. Graduated highschool 1984 and bought a red 1976 TR6. Moved out to the beach 1987. 1987, best summer ever, living at the beach at a place called "Tango Mar" near the Sandestin Beach Resort. I worked at a Pizza Hut, got off work each day at 2:30 and hit the beach with a little sailboat that came with the rental house, and driving a TR6!!! I was living the dream!!! Best summer of my youth - girls, sportscar, sailing, beach life, it was a fun time for sure!!!

The last Decade being retired.

late 70s through the 80s. a kid and care free. skateboards. bmx. dirt bikes. snowmobiling. people i loved still alive. camping with grandparents. i remember turning 16 and driving myself to an afternoon movie…..Rattle and Hum…putting $2.00 in pennies worth of gas in the car. i felt so free. and then life got hard staring in 1990 and stayed that way.


every time i sit in the 911, i think about how i was a kid and had no idea someone was driving around in it somewhere doing who knows what. coulda been one of you

-The 70s for me were my wandering youth days, free from any responsibility, not caring about world problems.

-The 80s were learning how to drive, graduating H.S. with many friends, parties, and meeting my wife.

-The 90s were my wife and I, exploring the country, and each other, and having two kids, buying our first house, still going to large extended family gatherings.

-The 00s were nothing but shift work, buying our farm, and raising two pre-teen kids with very little rest.

-The 10s were making some money, getting completely out of debt, watching our kids grow up and blossom, getting better work, but lots of health problems for me.

I would say it was a toss up between the 70s, and 90s for me.

All of the decades were just different, so it would be a matter of what is considered best at the moment.

I grew up in the "Leave it to Beaver" world where life was stable, safe and fun. Each decade had ups and downs.

One of my friends regularly said "you are in life, where you decided to be" and it is true. All your life you made decisions and chose an option at every single situation. Good decisions made good things happen, and wrong decisions had bad results. It was all free will on your part to get to where you are right now. The only exception is health issues that are genetic.

I am at a point in life where I have no debt, and and lots of toys and play dates. A wonderful wife of 29 years, and life is good. To quote the Rolling Stones, "You can't always get what your want, but if you try, sometimes you get what you need"
