What were you doing at 20

[Cyberhuss]

years old? Working wise, personal life, how was that time for you and when did you get your own place?

[TheLemming]

Funnily enough 20 was utterly excellent.

Just been promoted at work, moved into my own flat, bought a 205 Gti and was having a great time.

I was better off at 20 than 7 years later lol.

How the hell do you expect me to remember that...?

In Uni on the pi$$ 24/7 without a care in the world and suprisingly considerably more disposable income than I have now. I miss it.

Working? I was frantically sending off applications to banks in the city 3/4 of which no longer exist, I remember being jealous when a mate received his offer from Barings.....he was so smug "oldest bank in the city etc"

Moved into a flat in London and had a ball, then realised that I was actually spending more per month than I was earning!

It was a hard time in lots of ways, I knew feck all about the job I was doing, was right out of my depth, as a relatively wooly academic type after 3 years at uni, work was a shock quite frankly.

Apart from the whole being older, closer to dying etc aspect I'm much happier these days really.

I had my 20th birthday on a 747 on my way to Oz.

I was on a work placement as part of Uni course. Having a whale of a time living a semi-student lifestyle but getting paid to do it.

5 months ago, I was in the same job I am now, have the same girlfriend I do now and still can't afford a place of my own...

[vixpy1]

Working hard, was getting paid lots, getting my heart broken..

Nothing changes really

Ask again in 18months

Workwise - was working in a grotty job being paid about £7000 per year.

Love - was unhappily married.

Home, living in a rented flat in a village.

Yep, life is much better 13 years on!

[lexie]

Was studying dentistry (wasn't as incompetent then, I got worse as I progressed) living in a very grim student house until it got broken into whilst I was in there and I promptly moved out.
20 wasn't particularly good for me!

Hammered every night at Uni. Shagging a lovely South American 21 year old (how good does that sound now?!!!) and living on bugger all money but loving it!

[Wacky Racer]

Errr, that was thirty two years ago....

Doing the 270 mile Pennine way, following Led Zeppelin and driving a new Mk 1V Triumph Spitfire.....

Nope. I'd asked her to be but she refused.
