If a life expectancy is say 81 years, is youth from birth to 27, middle aged from 27-54 and old aged from 54-81? Give or take

Or do we discount the youth, and say you are a kid until you are 18, young until you are 39, middle aged from 39 to 60, and old ages from 60-81?? I'm learning towards this one.

When do you think you are middle aged?

I reckon middel aged doesn't start until at least 50 and old at least over 70.

[follies]

middle aged is 40's.

[FemboFerretOfDoo...]

Middle aged is always about 10 years older than whatever age I am at the time.

Old age is about 25 years older.

[**Mel**]

I would say 50 is middle aged

[Chelli]

Middle aged is always about 10 years older than whatever age I am at the time.

Old age is about 25 years older.

This!

Old age is about 25 years older.

Love this!

A few years ago I would have said 40 was middle aged, but now I am 40, so definitely not!

[Angelina Balleri...]

I think I'd class myself as middle aged around 45-60.

[CallMeProtart]

Middle aged is whatever decade is next up from what I'm in at the time.

I dunno. I'm 37 and I don't feel young but I don't feel middle-aged. I'm just ...aged.

I think I'll be in limbo until 45 and then I'll be happily middle-aged.



Perhaps middle-age begins when you can't wear skinny jeans anymore or does it start before then?
