To consider myself in my 30’s

I’m born late July 1994 so I said I’m in my 30’s now and was corrected. It’s like people don’t know about rounding up.

OP posts:

How weird!

@stepintochristmas1 lol

Purplecatshopaholic · 06/11/2023 20:39

If this is now a thing, I’m going to round down…

Peachespeachesohpeaches · 06/11/2023 20:40

I'm nearly 43, going to start rounding down to 32.

YourNameGoesHere · 06/11/2023 20:41

This is bonkers and that's impressive because I've read some utter weird stuff on this site but why on earth would anyone round up. Confused

camberlian · 06/11/2023 20:43

Hahahaha nope.

You’re in your thirtieth year, but not in your thirties (strictly speaking) until your thirty-first year i.e. when you have your 30th birthday next July.

This.

OP you've got yourself in a muddle

dylanschicken · 06/11/2023 20:45

WTF

You didn't do well in school, did you?

junbean · 06/11/2023 20:46

If you're closer to 30 than 29 then yes rounding up is at your discretion. The closer you get to 40 the more you'll find yourself rounding down so enjoy it while you can! 🫠

OP birthday is July - not even closer to 30 then 29

Monetm · 06/11/2023 20:48

What’s the hurry???????????

madnessitellyou · 06/11/2023 20:48

OP why do you want to be in your 30s when are still in your 20s?!

I'm in my 40s. I'm happy to round down if that's a thing now.

This is like that post a few years ago where the poster said her child was 5 when she was actually 4. Bonkers.

I remember that one. Batshit.

Orangeandgold · 06/11/2023 20:51

Good for you.

20s can be rough

although normally people want to round down with age rather than up

SD1978 · 06/11/2023 20:51

I thought you only rounded yourself up when you were a little kid? You're not in your 30's. You're being ridiculous

betterangels · 06/11/2023 20:52

Utterly weird. Why would you do that?

NalafromtheLionKing · 06/11/2023 20:53

You’re not. HTH

Ywlala92 · 06/11/2023 20:54

I'm starting to round up to my next birthday but that's because it's only in about 3 months.

@porridgeisbae what??? No!!!! Your age is your age!! Otherwise you are lying about your age for 1/4 of the year.

MissingMoominMamma · 06/11/2023 20:55

Is 29 more difficult to say than ‘in my 30s’? 😁

Chickenkeev · 06/11/2023 20:56

I couldn't be doing with remembering to lie. Like Nadine in Girls Aloud 😂 i'd be morto getting caught out.

RudsyFarmer · 06/11/2023 20:56

I call myself 50 at 49. I don’t think YABU.

Do you say you are in your 50s though?

Mrburnshound · 06/11/2023 20:58

If you want to swap with me you can be definitely in your 30s and i'll be 29?
