To ask if you view 29 as young

[User7777000]

Young as in young in life.

Yes it’s young, but according to this I am 60 plus and considered old. I can still swim for an hour at a time though! And I make sure I don’t wear stereotype older women clothes.

Young to me as I'm 60.

Mind you I still think of myself as young!

Now I'm in my late 40s I do. God, to be 29 again.

Young is under 30 and old is over 80.

ish

Context is everything.

Is 29 old compared to 16 - yes, compared to 60 - no.

If you mean should you have your shit together; be acting like a grown up - yes!

Not even going there with the housing crisis, but so many late twenties that live at home - that I know - are like 16 year olds. Maybe a product of being parented for so long.

It's an age. Just an number. Who cares.

Oh yes, very young! X

In the context of a whole life, it's young. In the context of getting married and having children, I don't it's young. Nobody would say "God 29 is young to be doing (any adult life event before retirement)"

30-60 ish seems too big a category. I think early 30s is still development or a transition period. Maybe 40-65 is middle for me. Then 65-75. After 75 it very much depends on the individual. Some 80 year olds are smart and fit and adaptable still. Some are very old. Mentally and physically.

Yea but when I was 13 I thought 29 was ancient.

This will always be viewed through then lend if your own current age.

Yes. I'm 57 so it's practically still a child to me

That sounds about right to be, @Ponoka7 . I wouldn’t view 29 as a young adult, they’re an “full adult.”

I’m 37 so don’t see it as mega young. But I guess I will when Im 47. When I was 14, 24 seemed so old, now it seems young. It’s all relative.

im also sure there’s been posts just like this one before

I have read this same question so many times before, so I don't know about the age but the question is getting old

Yes, 29 is young.

LOL. 80 is average life expectancy in the UK.

Very young.

Well.. yeah.

I'm in my 40s. 29 year olds seem to be younger by the year to me. They seem a bit of a immature generation with strange outlooks (obviously not all of then) But then I'm sure every generation has felt the same way about the younger one.

I'd agree with this. No way does middle age run to 65.

You can be fit/not or healthy/not at any age, but you've been alive as long as you've been alive and chances are you'll be dead by 80. If you're 15 years off that you're not "middle aged".

This is what I think

I'm 40 and I'd say

18-25 young adult
25-45 adult
45-65 middle aged
65-80 older adult
80+ elderly
90+ very elderly

It’s so relative…

I remember being 16 and thinking my friends 21 year old sister was old.

Now I think 29 til about 40 is young :-)

I know I keep saying it but people don't seem to realise that 80+ = dead, most likely.
