F off. [/quote] If you go by the median age of death in US you most certainly are [/quote] Middle age starts at 36. The average lifespan in the United States is 72 years old. 36 + 36 = 72 You are almost middle aged right now. Wake up.[/quote] Sorry, people in their 30s are not middle aged. You are being a bit myopic and stubborn about this for some weird reason. [/quote] Uh by the time you are over 35 you are by definition entering middle age. Middle age is 35-55.[/quote] So now 35 is middle age? In your next post, you will say it is 30! Why can’t you just accept that most of society considers it to be over 40? It is does necessarily begin at half the age of the average life span. Why do you insist on arguing that people in their 30s are old? So weird. [/quote] American Psychological Society defines it at 36, pretty common to be that range. 40 is too late. https://dictionary.apa.org/adulthood https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7203662/ [/quote] You just won’t quit, will you? It doesn’t matter what a bunch of eggheads wrote in 1950. Most people consider it to be in the 40s. [/quote] Oh, they wrote it in 1980, over 40 years ago. 36 is no longer considered middle aged by most people. [/quote] Life expectancy is up since 1980, but on the decline and still doesn’t make midlife 40 https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/nchs_press_releases/2022/20220831.htm I think the most typical midlife crisis symptom of Millennials is the denial that they are middle aged. :lol: :lol: :lol: [/quote] Please stop. No one is buying it. [/quote] Millennials: Refusing Adulting to the bitter end[/quote] Good for them. It’s better than being dull cookie-cutter conformist tools who can’t be distinguished from one another like some of the people on this thread. [/quote] Yes, taking responsibility for yourself and your family, you are too cool for that. [/quote] You can do this without being a tool. [/quote] Pretty sure Millennials took the Toys R Us jingle as a mantra for life. [/quote]
