The answer depends very much on what kind of decisions you make in your youth. If you plan well and make good choices the second half of life can be much, much better. As a middle aged person I am much more secure with myself now, I have higher self esteem, and more inner strength. Because I worked hard in my youth, now I have a rewarding career, a wonderful husband and a beautiful home. I look forward to spending my retirement years traveling with my life-mate, gardening, making art and writing books.

Youth was fun, but also full of turmoil and difficulty. If you play your cards right, the second half of life will be balanced, peaceful and rewarding.

Personally i think younger. You may not have as much spare time to do the fun things that (mostly) make up how "fun" your life is(although that's relative for everyone) but as a younger person you are fitter and able to do more in the spare time you do have. As an old person you are limited in your activities because your body isn't capable of doing so. Imagine your grandma in a rollercoaster. That wouldn't end well, would it?

It's horrible in all cases. When you're young, you are dependant of others, although you try to break the chain but are constantly reprimanded for doing so. When you're older, you have all the "freedom" in the world to face the challenges that loneliness can bring, losing people around you you've tried to form bonds with.

Goodnight everybody.

First, the demographic is probably skewing the stats. Mostly young on this site. If it were true that younger is better, why so high suicide stats among the young?
