My entire life I heard 40 is middle aged because life expectancy is somewhere around 80. 40 is when the mid-life crisis starts happening as well.
I like the energy, but this is still a dumb take, even if it’s common. Where TF did the idea that middle= midpoint come from? So does “middle age” last just an instant?
We have young, and elderly, so what do we call the span in the middle when you’re neither of those?
We should be retiring at 50. This is bullshit.
I’m scared shitless that I will make it to 100.
This. No one realizes that your probably not gonna make it to 100 in perfect health. If your body doesn’t go, it will be your mind. Either way, it does not sound appealing.
If nothing else, the arthritis has gotten so bad, you wanna off yourself anyways.
Hard pass.
middle aged would be around 36.
I didn’t come here to be insulted.
