I am earning my age for the first time in my life. I know I don't make enough, but I squeak by thanks to the apartment falling into my lap...
As to the question, if it's just physical, I'll go for circa 35. I don't really want to be stuck in my pre-analysis personality, for want of a better way of formulating it, but I could really go for the size 8 and the more youthful aspect.
(Also playing into this is the experience of seeing the HDGF seeing pics of old friends on Facebook. Everyone seems to have fallen off a cliff around 40. Except you, my dear sloth, the ever lithe.)
