Its a fun exercise to choose the most perfect period/year in which to have been born. Evaluating modern conveniences, health care vs. wars, famines, depressions, etc., and of course the future.
Given a future that looks not so good, I'd vote for coming of school age immediately after WWII, which would put you ready to check out pretty soon. 1941...the perfect year to be born ? Talk amongst yourselves.
The tv show Happy Days was really a documentary! Yes, those days after WWII and before the boomers changed everything in 1965 (the first year that postwar babies graduated from high school) were magical years! No worries about no go areas in cities; no worries about playing outdoors; parents did not have to supervise ‘playdates’ etc etc...
I was born in 1940, that was a pretty good year to be born too, but I am not ready to check out.
