And for the benefit of balance, the male version:
16 - Most awkward; not tall enough (or too tall) not attractive enough, most spots, and hormones dictating every other word.
21 - Least prepared; no idea what you're doing in life, no idea why you've done what you've done, and no idea why all those relationships failed.
28 - Absolute best time to be alive; fittest, fastest, strongest, richest (no kids or wife yet), most outgoing, benefit of some wisdom.
35 - Most harangued; wife and kids on at you all the time, the two seater about to be replaced with a volvo (still, at least it's the sports version.)
42 - Most poor; the mortgage is crushing you, kids are demanding more electronics goods than are in use on the International Space Station, the pension pot needs topping up and the missus is now talking about things like botox and nips n tucks.
50 - Most carefree; kids now approaching the end of uni, have been out of the house for years, the wife is suddenly at ease with herself and that secretary has started winking at you, must be the flash of grey.
51 - Divorced; damn secretary.
52 - Second childhood; Buy a motorcycle / sports car / light aircraft / yacht. Delete as appropriate.
60 - Regrets I've had a few, pass the scotch, watch the cricket, think seriously about taking up golf if you haven't already, realise you'd rather be down the pub all Sunday instead.
65 - Retirement; grow vegetables and flowers, wait.
Average 77.2 - Stop waiting.
Gods I hope I'm being pessimistic - I'm 27!
