Do you consider 50+ old?

Yes - YABU
NO - YANBU

If no, what age to you consider old.

At the moment with my Heath risks due to covid, I feel very old. I didn't 10 months ago. I was just me, fighting on through normal health issues.

What i hate about being 50+, is having to scroll for ages to get to when I was born

So true. :o

Yes and it gets worse every year

I think it depends on the person. I’m 61 and not old. Some of my contemporaries seem younger than me, some seem older - fitness level and looks can play a big part. I know one man my age who was old at 50, and several who are in middle age at around 70.
75 is old to me.

65+ is old.
40-65 is middle aged

20s young
30s mature, grown up
40s middle aged
50s old
65+ elderly

65 middle aged? Hahahaha what you know someone living to 130 then?

I'm 61, I don't feel 'old'.
In my 50s I was incredibly energetic (travelled a lot, hiked up mountains, did sport) looked a lot younger than my age and those years were probably my most productive workwise....and possibly my happiest years too.

I am definitely not so active now I've hit my 60s but still look younger than my years, still go hiking, still work....so I'd say I'm now 'older' but not old.

I consider 70s elderly and 80s distinctly 'old'.

As someone approaching mid 50s, I wonder if consumption patterns & attitudes or politics etc. really are so homogenous age 55+ (thresholds I see the most). My nearly 80yo parents like luxury experiences, like cruises, fine dining, posh hotels. They subscribe to at least 3 streaming services. They love their kindles (no books are fewer things to dust). They never want things to hold. They love fine furniture but already have lots of it. They redecorate their house beautifully, although are probably running out of things to redec.

I have not wanted 'things' very much since I was 30+. Except... I like select gadgets especially niche sporting good equipment. We spend a lot of money on those things. We don't have any streaming services, I rarely watch TV. I read hard copy books. I have zero interest in redecorating, Nearly all of my furniture is merely ok & often came to us free/cheap. My crude demographic (married age 50+) might be same as my parents, but I'm totally different, mostly. My dad would like to work PT like I do, & I suppose we both donate regularly to similar charities, are big things in common.
