40 is middle aged? Darn. I was hoping it was 65.
Huh? I thought 60 was the new 40....
hahaha Prob’ly connected to their lovely health care system. They need to trim the life expectancy to save some bucks, lowered expectation propaganda. :p
Welcome to the change.
This is all so confusing.
Hmm...but I thought 26 was the new 18 - the age at which one is considered to be an “adult” Not a lot of time in between, is there?

Speaking as a 33 going on 34, I can tell you that a key reason is that those of us who were born in the 1970s are WAY outnumbered by both the boomers above us and the GenYers/Millenials that came after us. Its kinda sad that once we are hitting our stride, our neighborhoods and places of employment are INVADED by all of these folks who were born in the 1980s. Sometimes, I wish all of you folks who were popping out babies in the 1980s and 1990s would have thought twice and used the pill more often. What narcissistic, entitled a--holes you have raised!
Oh! Bite me! (not you, personally) I am so sick of people my age whining, “I’m old. I’m so old.” Especially when their parents are out having the time of their lives and not whining.
My first kid was born when I was 35, so I hardly felt “middle age” then.
