"OLD" is 20 years away when you're 20, and it progressively gets less and less every decade until you die! Life is a real bi*tch, but we love her anyway!
I've seen 'old' people in their 30's; they act like they are 80 !! I know 85 yr olds who act like they are 40 !! So your attitude in life has alot to do when you personally get "old". Whatchagonnado?Loved this question! Thanks!

You are only as old as you act and feel. My grandmother lived until she was 87 and lived every day to the fullest. She was very active and put a lot of 50-year-olds to shame. Acting childish doesn't make you young, not letting age determine how you act will keep you young. Smile everyday!
Don't dwell on yesterday - what is done is done.
Don't think too much about tomorrow - what will come will come.
Live today as the first and last day there is, with an open mind, a loving heart and a smile you want to share.
Be well, love a lot and good luck!

Old is a relative term. To a 3 year old a teenager may seem old but to the teenager someone 35 is old but the 56 year old thinks 35 is young but the 81 year old tells the 56 year old "Hell your still young". Now the oldest woman in the world just recently passed on at the age of 115 so she must have thought the 95 year old person to be young!
I think you are old when you start to think you are. Heck! I guess I'm still just a kid then!

Old is completely subjective. It depends on how old the person is that you're asking. To a 6 year old, 25 or 30 could be old, to a 30 year old, 80 could be old. But if you have to ask if you're there, then you probably are! ;)

When I was 18 I thought I would be dead by 40 because it seemed so old. Now I'm over 50 and I'm OK with it. I still play soccer and cycle all the time. I guess the Who were wrong when they sang 'hope I die before i get old' because they're all older than me.

When you can't remember how to tie your shoes - you are old.
When you wake up in the morning with a diaper on - you are old
When you have no teeth - you are old
When you don't know what day it is - you are old.
Come to think of it - being old is alot like being a baby! The circle of life!

You are as old as you think you are. If you feel old then you act old. If you feel young, you act young. You can be 35 and feel old. You can be 85 and feel young. Most say, "Act your age." But, most people don't and don't care too.

I turn 30 soon, and I think that is the point where I think I am old.

I am 63 yrs. old and I can tell you with the most authority that; "The older you get the older old gets" Believe me this is very true.

Age is a state of mind...or mind over matter. If noone minds...it dont matter.
But seriously, you are only as old as you feel...Be Kind To Yourself and youth will always be with you.
