What was the best year of your life and why?

1979 first big executive promotion, our first home renovation was completed, first daughter was born seemed like everything was going as planned.....

2015. Graduating college, getting married in Mexico, moving to a new city and getting paid for the first time.

I think the best is yet to come.

Agreed. I have had some fantastic years and some fantastic times, but marriage and kids will probably be happening in the next few years, so I am looking forward to that. Mostly the kids. Marriage...meh.

2014 when I got a great job and moved to Raleigh. But, this year should top it. Get married in June and head to Bora Bora for honeymoon. And before that, my bachelor party in Vegas for the S16 and E8 games of March Madness...5/5 best friend have already booked tickets, which I never expected and can't wait.

Time will tell.

You never expected all 5 of your best friends to come to a bachelor party in Vegas during the tourney? Maybe you need new best friends

2014 was pretty good to me. Maybe the best so far, but it'll definitely be topped. Way too busy for my liking.

4 out of 5 are using half their vacation for this. We don't have weekends off. It's costing them 5k apiece, after factoring in gambling and booze, which is about 1/6 of some of their salaries. My one friend works for NESN, and taking time off during Sox season is almost impossible, so he threatened to quit lol.

So, no. Never expected all of them to be able to make it.

Enjoy Bora Bora, Vegas, and the tourney because the whole marriage thing gets old REAL quick! So 2015 may top your 2014, but lets revisit this thread in a few years after you have been married and see if those years top the years past....the answer will be NO!!

Kinda hard to choose. Got married in 2013, and had our daughter August of 2014. Hoping for a safe and quiet 2015. Good luck to everyone getting married this year. Very stressful.

Funny that th eppl who are married dont count their married yr as their best, and the ones getting married plan for it to be their best year lol.

Hope I have better years, but this current yr, or my senior yr of college rank as top for me. Senior year of college, I already had a job lined up (so I thought) working part time on a cake schedule that I decided. Plus I wasn't taking too many classes and living with my best friends. Pretty sweet.

Moving out of Ohio also ranks up there.

I've been married for 5+ years now and every year seems to be better than the last.

2011 or 2014 for me.


Late 2010 I was in a dark dark place. I was living at home, had two shit jobs, and job searching like a maniac from my parent's basement. Moving to NYC was not really a planned thing, but I bullshitted my way here, got a legit job and ended up making it.


2014 because I relocated to Brooklyn and got a solid apartment and social circle. Best move of my life, I don't see myself leaving anytime soon.

Pretty much why I make 2012 one of my best years. Not the same exact situation, I had a good job, but I was living in Dayton, which is not somewhere you want to be as somebody who is single in their early 20's. Still lived with my parents as I was in limbo whether I was going to be living in Dayton or somewhere else. Finally, after quite the journey my job offered to transfer me to DC. I moved to DC in April of 2012. Best summer I ever had.

My junior and senior year of college is up there too. I was finally single, and even though classy thinks BG is the 2nd best when it comes to females (LOL), anyone in the know is well aware there is a lot to pick from at Miami. I also spent my summer in LA between my Jr/Sr year.

Late 2008 for me. Company I was working for throughout college and had a job through for after college went under. Had to move back home and was working second shift (Wed- Sun. Imagine that socail life at 21/22!) building bikes, grills, etc outside behind this garden center place in Cleveland Winter. When it would rain or snow the cart pushers would call off and I'd have to go push fucking carts. Not what I went to college for, I can tell you that much.

I said fuck it, anything is better than this and moved out of Ohio to the area with the lowest unemployment in the country at the time. I only knew 2 ppl there at the time but made it happen. I swore I would be living the street before moving back to ohio a failure. Worked out for me thankfully.

Congrats! I remember those first 5 years also. I have been married for 13 years (4 kids)....oh how things change!

late 80's. Probably 89. was in HS, culture of music, clothing and other things were unique. It was a fun time to grow up
