I used to think that age equated to percentage of life lived, thus I thought that most people live to close around 100.
But it also made me think that people only get old when they’re like 80.

I mean like actually “old”. The “old” adults were referring to. At that age I considered those 14/15 year old 9th graders old, just a bit different “old”.

    I don’t remember but my kids say:

    Under 30 is young

    30-60 is middle aged

    60-90 is old

    Over 90 is fucking old

    I don’t plan to be old until 70 though, afraid I’ll live till over 90 and don’t think it makes sense to say you are old until close to the end.
