    With collected Hindsight I'd give up all my assets including the clothes on my back for a clean start 25yrs ago, plus a further 10yrs for my right one.

    Still make a few mistakes but Man the fun times in the 80's.

    I voted 3. Take me back to 19 with current mindset. Old enough to take on Mortgages and would be 14 years younger starting out instead of waiting to buy at 33.:oops:

    Nope.
    But I don't think I'd give away my twenties studying again though.

    That would make me 2

    So probably not.

    Things are just getting good now

    No way would I want to be 25 years younger again. That would make me 13, in the middle of a miserable puberty, and about to start dating any number of lame ducks (including one I lived with for a couple of years.... ah the folly of youth).

    More than happy to be where I am right now, with my gorgeous husband and happy life :D

    Yep. Would love to wind back the clock 25 years and give up all current assets.

    if money was no object.
    I think everyone would do the same because time is the only finite thing we have.

    If the question is "would you swap all your assets to be 25 years younger today (in 2015)" then you would do it in a heartbeat. It's much easier to invest now with the internet.

    Only 30 so probably not. If it was 45+, probably.

    My knees are already buggered and I already like to be in bed by 9pm, so this is a very tempting proposition! :p

    But I think I'll pass, I don't want to miss out on anything that might happen in the next 25 years.
