At what age do you become OLD ?

Question

Some great answers ! Thanks. I'm 60 in two weeks time - I'll try not to think of it as old !!

Answer 1

Never age is a state of mine -
Live for today
learn from yesterday
have hope for tomorrow

Answer 2

In your head, never. Bodily, about 60 ish. But it's age is a state of mind. Some of the oldest people I know are young at heart. Conversely, some young people are just born old.

Answer 3

My age Plus 8 years

Answer 4

Next year? The year after? Sometimes now, sometimes not.

I'm 56 now and I'm just beginning not to assume I'm the youngest in the room, my aches and pains seem not to resolve as quickly as they once did and I become tired more quickly than i used to but, on the whole I still feel youngish.

Answer 5

It depends on the person who classifies you.
To young people anyone above thirty is ANCIENT.When I was young the term for "parents" was "crumblies".
To people above seventy anyone under fifty is a "youngster".
In the end age is a mental attitude. If you perceive yourself as old, you will feel old. If you remain dynamic and out-looking you will stay young much longer.
My mother used to say "You are as young as your heart feels."

Answer 6

Physically, when you can no longer do the things you enjoy doing

Mentally, when you start trying to be mature

Consequently, I continue to knock on people's doors and run away as part of my exercise regime.
