Do you consider 45 to be ‘old’?

| I'm 48 and don't feel old at all. I recently fell in love like a teenager. |

You expect to live to 118? |

I just turned 56 and yes - I do think 45 is old.
Not as old as me 👴🏿 but still pretty damn old. |

Old to me is 70 plus. -signed 56 year old. |

I'm exactly 45. What a coincidence.
I don't feel old but I also know I'm not young either. Whenever I go to the Y for swimming laps, the place is always filled with the fit studs from the local high school and I know in their eyes that no matter how trim and in shape I am, I'm still old and decrepit! To me "old" is 70s. I know people in their 60s who are fit and active and vigorous so that's late middle age to me, and I'd be entering the middle ages at 45. |

| Old for what? Having a baby or having arthritis? |

| Absolutely not. Over 85 is old. |

You seem very literal. Must be under 45. 😉 |

45 is middle-aged.
60 is old (don't tell my dh, he's 67 and I'm "middle-aged" lol). |

| 45 to me would feel the exact same as 30 if it were not for concern about one's own parents and in-laws aging and physically having to witness it. My vitality is the same, I am young in my head, I don't look old (to me!), my teens don't find me old. But wow is it a wakeup call having to deal with the prospects of eldercare. It makes me feel more like an old adult than anything else in life. |

I quit thinking 45 was old by the time I finished college. At that age, I thought 60 was old.
As I get older (now 60!) the goal posts continue to move. Age 75 is now "old." Quoting Billy Crystal from the Princess Bride: “It just so happens that your friend here is only MOSTLY dead. There’s a big difference between mostly dead and all dead.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbE8E1ez97M |

45 is solidly in the middle age range, not "old". |

| I hada 3 y.o. In preschool when I was 45 so, no, I don’t consider that old. |
