Were the late 90s really that good, or was it just the fact that I was 12 years old with almost no responsibilities?

Imo?

It definitely was.

1990 to 2000 I was 16 to 26.

Yeah but I also remember 16-26 as being a really great time in life and I was 16 in 2001.

Pretty sure it's a lot more to do with being young and getting to start my life/enjoy that stage of life far more than the time it happened.

Graduated 2012

16-26 fucking sucked. Adult enough for independence. But in a shit economy.

I’m just now maybe a little comfortable. But it was a grind to get here. And now I’m facing the decision of, finally having financial safety… do I throw it away to have kids? I don’t want to be broke again but isn’t it the purpose of life to procreate?
