To consider myself in my 30’s

[Jumponit77]

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.

You're not in your 30's though....

🙄you’re in your twenties… do you not get numbers????

Is this a serious post 😄 🤣 you're 29.

In South Korea she would (formerly) actually be 30

I'm in my real 30s and would laugh at any 29 year old telling me they were too. It's like you're trying to hang out with the cool older kids.

Ha ha, yep I meant closer to her 29th birthday than her 30th birthday 🤪

Just the ONE post from the OP then.

Why would you WANT to round your age up? I'm at a stage of life I would definitely not be rounding up, I'd prefer to round down, preferably by a few decades.....

🤣

Same! I'm rounding down 🤣🤣🤣

29 is your 30th year as your first birthday marks the start of your second year .

By the time OP comes back they'll be in their 30s at this rate.

I'm 39. Not in my 40's yet!!!

And im in my 20s (im 36)

When my grandad turned 84, he said he was 21 for the 4th time.

YABU, your age starts with 2, therefore you are in your 20s. I can guarantee you wont be rounding up in such a way in a decade or two.

This reminds of a thread in the Covid board about OP handwringing that her 17 year old son could not get the vaccine because "he was practically 18".

🤣

Oh OP you are 29. I'm 40s and there's no way I would describe myself as 50s...yet!

Interesting though some Chinese count being born as being aged 1. So move to China and then you're bona-fide 30.

Are you, and I mean this kindly… quite well?

What the fuck. Are you ok hun?

You're as "in your 30s" as you are in your 40s and 50s. You're just simply not.

You're already a grown up, no need to add that's into your age to seem more grown-up.

No, because that means I should be rounding up to 50 and I refuse to!

You're 29. You're in your 20s. You are in your 30th year, but you are in your 20s.

Are you one of these people who thinks the 21st century began on 1st January 2001? 😬 (Usually the covid deniers and flat earthers!)

Love your style!

Yay, me too! Actually weirdly enough you tend to forget about age as you get older. You just think "yeah, so?"

The only problem is tickboxes where I have to tick 41-50 and also age calendars where you have to scroll back masses to get your birthdate

There’s someone who plops a post like this down semi-regularly, with some batshit age weirdness, and then disappears. I cannot fathom what they get out of it, but they do keep coming back for more.

I think the only time I've rounded up was a week or 2 before a big birthday which put me on the next tick Box up on forms. I figured it would take a week or 2 for the form to be processed so I'd tick the next box.

Otherwise why the hell would you want to be older?? Unless you're a teenager

I'm trying to decide whether to round down (in my 40's) or round up (in my 60's and I claim my bus pass!)

It's a dilemma... Could I round up to 67 and get my pension too?

(I'm actually in my 50's, in real terms. Not sure what op would have me be, though).
