We may be, we may not be. No one knows but the Father. However, people will always speculate about it...of course with the end days always occurring during their own lifetimes. Makes people feel important I guess.
Are we living in the last days? Of course, always. Few get more than 35,000 days to begin with. If 10,000 - 20,000 are already gone, we are down to the last days.
Christians have believed so since about 70 AD. And they were really cheezed when the interpretation of Daniel of an October 22, 1844 arrival of Jesus in the clouds didn't happen.
Deuteronomy 30:19... "I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live...."
If that means we're closer to the end than the beginning, then yes I think so. How close to the end I have know idea. Christians should be aware of and watch for the signs, but should not “immanentize the eschaton.” There is much we don't know about God's timing.

I'll be 40 in a few months, so I figure I'm about halfway to my last days :-).
If we live each day as if it is our final day, if we can find joy and give love like we will never do either again, we will live more Christ-like lives.
