What age do you feel is old?

[pressman]

I am 72 when I was young I thought that was old anyonen over a 100 I guess is old

You're as old as your maturity level & as old as you allow your body to feel

I've met 50 year olds who seemed older than 80 year olds so I think it really depends on your mental state. Physically though, if the person is average I'd say 60 is going into the "old" ages.

I'm obviously quite old but lucky in that I feel fairly good most of the time.  Old is 30 to a kid and 70 to a middle aged person.  My deceased husband was old at 40 and that's how he wanted it.  By 40 he was acting 70 or 80.

Developmentally you peak in your mid twenties, so it is all down hill after that. I once heard it said, one you get your mind figured out your body falls apart!

But, there are so many variables that influence how well (or not) one ages, that it is difficult to assign a number. I have been sick for a long time with serious chronic ailments, so I have felt old since 20.

its not about how old you are. its about how old you feel!

Very well said!

I agree age isof 69 is too young but age but I don't feel my age.

I'm a firm believer in "you're only as old as you feel". Physical limitations exist, but mentality is what keeps you going. I've seen elderly people who act like they are in their 20s again,  and people who are in their 20s act like they are 90! Age is just a number...it's all a state of mind!

I would say anything under 50 is getting up there

You can feel old at any age and feeling young happens the same way. I have seen some youthful spirits in old dogs.

depends on how you feel!

  Being old is a lot of your outlook on life. I am 68 and my wife is 77. Neither of us can do what we used to but neither of us want to do what we used to do. I new I would always grow old but didn't expect it to happen this fast.

99

I feel it is up to you and not what others think.

It depends on the person really. Some people feel old in their 40's, some in their 50's and so on. I think now, in reality, people start feeling the aging around 70 or so.
