[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Post-college I think of 21-30 as being young or young adult.

30-40 is early adult to regular adult, depending on context.

"Early career" could be any of the previous brackets depending on context and industry. I suppose you could even call people in their early 40s early career (some academics, medical, etc...) where you're surrounded by a lot of old-timers.

Middle age starts somewhere between 40-50 and goes until 60-65ish. You probably wouldn't call a 42 year old mom of a 1 and 3 year old middle aged, but you might call a 42 year old with teens who is a VP in a tech company middle-aged if they are surrounded by junior 20 somethings all day.

Senior begins at 65ish. Used to be around 60 but this feels too young now for most.

Elderly is really dependent on condition. My dad is 81 and in amazing shape and I get calling him elderly but he doesn't really present that way. My mom and my MIL are 73 and barely present as seniors in some ways, but yes, they are seniors. There are 66 year olds who have elderly needs and present as much older.

All of this is so context and life-stage dependent. [/quote]

I can see midlife being 40s but 50s and 60s? Are you planning to live to 100+?
