Young and skint or old and rich?

[transactor]

Now im getting on a bit i often wonder how much I'd rather be 18 again even 18 and skint rather than have money but be old

What would you rather be, young and poor or old and rich and for arguments sake can we say 40 years old with £2 million in the bank compared to an 18 year old with zilch

[Beni997]

Since when has 40 been old?

[battered]

40's hardly old. Or are you only 15, just got in from school and just killing time before tea?

[jas xjr]

you can have a lot of fun on little or no money . young and skint for me please , if i had my time again , i would not have worked so hard when i could have been having more fun.

[battered]

I'll be an 18 yr old, skint, knowing that in 22 years time he will be a double millionaire. Thanks.

[bloomen]

i remember little about being 18. I am relatively sure that I don't feel any better or worse being in my 40s and there's no way I'd want to be a teen these days so I'll go for rich now.

[Jasandjules]

I am 40 now, so 2m in the bank would suit me fine thanks.....

sorry I probably meant older not old

[HOGEPH]

I was young and skint. Now I am old and skint. The rich bit seems to have passed me by.

exactly how I feel, I dont have 2 mill tho'. Im not 40 though nor am I 15 as somebody suggested

[Monkeylegend]

I would only want to go back to being 18 if I could go back to the time I was 18. I would not want to be 18 again now, facing the next 60 years or so irrespective of how much or little money I had.

So I suppose that make it old and not do rich for me.

[jas xjr]

at 18 you still have the chance of possibly being rich . no matter how remote , the possibilty is there . you can never be young again , probably

[condor]

Only if I could return to when I was 18, otherwise I'll stick with what I have now

[Greenie]

You can get richer but you can't get younger.

[brrapp]

I'd like to be 18 again but I don't think I've got the energy

[J4CKO]

Is that an 18 year old 20 stone spod who hangs around games workshop and has body odour that makes your nose hairs burn or a handsome, socially normal and well balanced one ?

I think I enjoyed 40 more than 18 as well like Swerni.

I'm 42 and skint so I'd happily be 18 and skint! If someone said I could have £10m or rewind ten years and take one lesson with me that I've learned in the last ten years, I'd take the rewind in a heartbeat.

[slartibartfast]

I'm 46, skint due to divorce, child maintenance, mortgage and all the bills on one income.

If I was 46 with 2m in the bank I'd be blowing it on coke, hookers, fast cars and holidays around the world where I could spend it on more coke and hookers.

edited to add I've never done coke nor hookers and fast cars, can someone lend me 2m?

[HustleRussell]

Young and skint please. I can think of a lot of things I could do with two million but none of them could equal what I could do with 22 extra years.
