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

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.”

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.

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

You expect to live to 118?
You seem very literal. Must be under 45. 😉

Absolutely not. Over 85 is old.

Old for what? Having a baby or having arthritis?

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.

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