Would you rather be 15 for the rest of your life, or 64 for the rest of your life? Personally, I think I'd go for 15.

Okay, why?

I've been 15, haven't hit 64 quite yet, but I'll take 64 every time. At 15 I had not met my wife and had no kids or grandkids, and didn't know anywhere near what I do now. At 15 I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, and didn't find out until I was in my forties. Now I love my job and wouldn't change anything.

If my health was good, i definately would rather be 64. I too have been 15 and not 64 but 15 was a tough age. Too old for some things, not old enough for others. At 64 you can do what ever the he__ you want! :) I am definately enjoying my life the older I get. And I have wonderful people in my life that I didn't back then. The only reason I would want to be 15 is if my Mom would still be alive. She died when I was 19 and I do miss her terribly.

A 15 year old can not drive a car. Now an 18 year old well acording to Mr Alice Cooper "Im 18 and I like it...." got to go dig that cd out now.

I think I would choose 21 to stay at if I had to. Old enough to do everything legally, which is hard to do because everyone thinks I'm 15 because of my looks. It's pretty humiliating when the car-hop at Sonic thinks your 12 and driving and you have to offer your drivers license as proof.

I'm happy with the age that I'm at right now. Old enough to do everything legally and have lot of very nice people in my life. Due to my looks at my young age when I was younger (started to grow a mustache at age 12) I was able to pass for a person a lot older at that time and had fun with it. Now I can still have fun with it except for the big gut. More brains now too.

Can I have the wisdom and experience of 64 with the physical strength of 15 - or is that being greedy, LOL. Seriously, I haven't hit 64 yet but that would be my choice, creaky bones and all.

Well, at age 83 I find it takes about 12years to get used to my age. So I take the question to be a moving target. Have fun with it, folks. For me, I'm going to go think about it --code for taking a nap.

Was it Bob Seger that sang "wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then"?

Would rather be 64 that way I could enjoy the senior citizens discounts and perks, to hard to be 15 would always have to show an id to do anything, besides would not want to be in the 10th grade the rest of my life... ugh!

I'm 64 and loving it. Have 4 wounderful grandkids to keep me young, 2 outstanding daughters and son-in-laws. My lovely wife reminds me about "quality not quantity". Would not change anything. my youth was outstanding (memories). Looking forward to retirement and living until 95 at least.
