1986.
I don't think the era was my issue.
Mild autism, coupled with crippling shyness, susceptibility to depression and lack of direction, plus being bullied and being raised in a low income, single parent household that didn't do much, would have caused issues regardless of when I grew up. Mum was a saint, but anxiety is hereditary.
Honestly, I'd like to go see the time of the Japanese economic bubble period. 80s I think?
I'd also have liked to have been able to buy a decent property for better affordability.
With that said, I think I'd miss a lot of the comforts of modern life. Pre 80s England seemed absolutely miserable. Grimy, restrictive and culturally beige. Even day to day life in the late 90s, when I didn't have much money, seemed boring as a kid.
Or we can go further back than that, when civil rights and workers rights weren't worth spit. When men were pressured to live in muddy, lice filled trenches and ordered to walk into machine gun fire.
Being able to explore uncharted lands would be cool though, yet I'd need money for that.
So yeah, I'll take my era, but just give my family more money.
