Decent question. I think they both have their challenges.
The problem with young people is that they think they know things but half of what they know is wrong. That makes life a hard lesson.
The problem with old people is that they learned a lot more, but its too late to do anything with it. That's a pretty hard reality to face.

older. you have to deal with so much shit. bills. housing. food. etc... when you're younger, you don't have to really worry much about that. you're usually being taken care of.
I think being older is harder. We have more responsibilities and a lot more stress. There's so much more that we older people have to deal with and more people count on us
Not sure how you would measure it. Being young, you into employer catch 22…being older you run into ageism.
Older Americans certainly benefited from a better economy that they then crashed for us. Woulda been nice to buy a house for $30,000 and now worth $3 million….
In some ways, it’s harder to be younger since you feel like you don’t have control of your life and usually haven’t overcome the same level of adversity.
I think it is harder when younger. Possibly the inverse for females because a man needs to establish value whilst a girl comes into her 20s with beauty and value.
@Babygirl_S It is other - more important things - I consider I am establishing value in. Income and assets is part of the mix but not the most important.
Didn't say anything bad about gold diggers :). I am a bit surprised at how the term is used anyway. Hypothetically a girl might use her charms to get me to pay for an expensive dinner date but have no further interest in me other than eating said meal. It does fall in GD spectrum I guess but I wouldn't consider it to be gold digging because simply there isn't much gold there. Rough estimate 0.05079 troy ounces. If that is all I get ripped for in life than I'll be doing well.
I think it will be harder for me when I will be older only because I don't like depending on someone and as we get older our body starts to fail us and we need help so I don't think I would be very good at being old.
I would say jn my experience life was easier when I was younger. For my grandparents it was the opposite in some respect. There parents died in war abuse all sorts of issues and you just had to tolerate it.

Definitely being older cause when you're young, you still hope and believe that one day, you'll be free
But when you grow up, you realize you'll never be free, nor feel happiness ever again

That is a tough one. I guess there hard and easy things during both those phases in human life.
That can certainly be true
It’s hard trying to stay young when the inevitable is happening. I think life gets harder when you get older, because your health starts declining.
older, pass the ibuprofen, oh and did the bills get all paid?
🤣🤣
Easy to be younger.
Ignorance is bliss.
Younger people have "plausible deniability."
More is expected out of the older crowd.
Younger, until you're not young anymore. At some point physical issues come into play.

So you want to be liked for your money and then complain about gold diggers?

You want a gold digger
@Babygirl_S No. Like nearly all men I want a ice girl who is comely to me.
You said you don't dislike them so I guessed.
@Babygirl_S There is no point in disliking but that doesn't mean the inverse.
No idea. I will defer to the elders on this, as they have experienced both.
Life is rough - period.
I’ll second that!
I think each one comes with it’s ups and downs but since I’m now older my god damn feet hurt so I’m saying older lol
Hard to answer that, you gain wisdom from experience and learn from your mistakes
Younger cause don’t have the wisdom of an older person.
I think it will be harder for me when I will be older only because I don't like depending on someone and as we get older our body starts to fail us and we need help so I don't think I would be very good at being old.
If your not priveledge, youth is very unforgiving you have hardly any control over your circumstances
When your older you have a lot of control.
I would say jn my experience life was easier when I was younger.
For my grandparents it was the opposite in some respect.
