To not think a 30 year old is young

[Happiestyearofmylife]

In any respect anymore

Rude 😂 I'm still young!

Yabu. I consider 30 young.

Of course 30 is young.

Yes 30 years old is young.

I’m 55 so 30 is a child!

😂 oh please!

Perspective isn't it? I'm 54 so I would describe someone who is 30 as young.

I'm 32 and hurt...

Of course it's young.

It's not young in terms of "too young to know any better" but it's definitely young in terms of "have whole life ahead of you".

You will when you are 70.

Compared to me a 30 year old is young, but generally, I wouldn't think of a 30 years old as 'young'.

My 34 year old DD's husband was talking to me about her the other day and referred to her as a 'young woman'.

It made me wince rather as it sounded incredibly patronising.

Well yes and no.

Yes - it’s young in your body is probably ache free, lose weight if you want to.

No - it’s not too young to have a family, responsibilities like mortgage.

Young for what?
Young to be starting university? No
Young to be having a first baby? Depends on your perspective. For me it's on the upper end of young because I know hardly anyone who had a baby in their 20s but for so e it would be ancient in that context
Young to be getting married? No
Young to be retiring? Definitely
It's all relative!

It really depends on the context

I'm 41 and I think of myself as young when I was 30. Ahhh, the good old days...

It's all about perspective isn't it?
I'm a 30 year old, disabled single mum. I dont feel young

But compared to my 83 year old grandma I am young.

Surely that depends on the person talking.
My niece thinks 30 is ancient, my Nan thinks 30 is a spring chick.

I'm never hung up on my age, it just is what it is.

No it’s not young I’m 32 never get why people say it’s young on here mind you I’ve only ever seen people call it young on MN no one irl thinks it’s young

It's young, I'm 46 now and looking back, my 30 was very young. Not long married, starting to have kids, my grown up life was just starting!

Now 16yrs later I am starting, just starting to get on a bit!!!

How old are you@Happiestyearofmylife and what has prompted you to decree 30 isn’t young?

Yes, 30 is young.
However if you ask a teenager I'm sure they would say it's not.

I'm 30 so my age + a couple is definitely young (I'll be saying that forever 😂)

It is young in the respect that the majority of the population (and an even larger majority of adults) is older than 30 so from their perspective 30 is still absolutely young

I am mid 40s but regularly meet people in their 80s, 90s, 100s through my work and they very much see me as young!

@GoogleWhacked

Yes, 30 is young. However if you ask a teenager I'm sure they would say it's not.

Ha! I did have 10 yr old say that he though 30 was middle aged!!!!

As previously stated I'm 46 and can only just see me possible reaching middle aged yrs!!

I am 52
My son is 30
He is young
I am not
Hope this helps
