When I was 5 it was someone who was 15. When I was 25 it was someone who was 40. I'm 60. I figured somewhere along the way that old age concept never really get's in your head unless you're a little slow to begin with.
I'm 21 I don't consider 40 to be old. I'd say maybe 60+

@Poptartinvasion: I've seen 30 year olds that have already ravaged themselves with sex booze and drugs. When I was in my late 30s I helped a guy who was 72 carry a large entertainment farquar phonic, one of those old television, stereo phono -coffin sized things, up a staircase. Last year I was with a guy who just turned thirty doing a ground search for a lost drone through a 20 mile wide bramble marsh. He said he was exhausted and in pain yet I was not even very tired. He complimented me on my good state of physical health.

So there are old 30 year olds and young 70 year olds, I figure. By the way, that 72 yr old guy I carried that farquarphonic up the stairs with just recently passed away. He was 98.
I'm speaking of actual age not how healthy/active you are at your age. But it's whatever

@Poptartinvasion: Two years ago I was in a group with a bunch of 20 somethings when the subject of who was in charge of something came up. One guy said after me he had the age seniority. I said that another guy, who wasn't there right at the time was. The bunch looked at me and said no way if you won't than not him because he was too old. So I told them my age and had to prove it by pulling out my driver's license! You kids are funny. Old. lol
