I started feeling physically old at 50. I never want to feel mentally old! I believe that you are only as old as you think you are. So always make time to play!

I am 54, and honestly still don't feel that I am getting old. My mind is still in it's 20's and my body is still in it's 30's. I have excellent health, still go hiking, mountain climbing and jogging, do my own housework in a large house and take care of the animals and the garden. I am constantly on the go, and will continue to be that way until everything shuts down. Age has never been important to me, so has never been an issue.The only time I ever even think of my age is when I see how old my children and grandchildren are getting! I really think you are as young as you act, which makes me very young indeed!

This is a great question!
I am 50, I will be 51 in December. My mind is in my 20's, and still learning. My body has some aches and pains, but I really still do not feel "old".
I only feel "old" when I've traveled from the US and have to hang around Heathrow for a layover for hours, get misdirected, and go through their security measures 20 times! Then I'm so exhausted by the time I reach my destination that I feel like I'm 80!

I have always been quite mature for my age and was already worrying in my twenties. I think up to twenty i could not wait to grow up but once i was over 25 and heading towards thirty i started to feel old. Now i am heading towards 40 and actually feel younger than i did then. I feel more confident now.
The way i look at it is if we live to 100 and we divide life into 4 seasons Spring is up to 25 when we start to grow. Summer is 25-50 when we are in full bloom. 50-75 is autumn a beautiful time of year. 75-100 is winter.
I think sometimes it depends on circumstances as well i had my first baby at 21 and felt i missed out on my teenage years now my children are growing up i have more freedom to develop myself.

I was in a hurry to get to 13, but, 13 1/2 was the end of the world, so I thought.

You are only as young or as old as you feel - but you will find you can't cope with everything you way you use to and how you did earlier when you get older - roughly 50+ years - not old but you know you are not a spring chicken anymore

Somewhere in University I think everyone asks "when did I get old enough..." It happened again when ugly 80's clothes started to be wore again. The third time was when I realised that I do couple things and have "couple" friends....
