To ask if you view 29 as young

[User7777000]

Young as in young in life.

I agree about middle age, @Ocani . I’m 49 and I’m middle aged, but I don’t see how 60+ can be…how many 120-year-olds are around?!

Tbh, we turn into older adults about 55, even if we don’t want to admit it. Definitely by 60.

Depends on the context. But if it is totally without context the I'd say no, it isn't.

Its relative. When I was 14, I though 20 was REALLY old.
Anyone over the age of 29 will think 29 is young

Not this age thing again.

Oh yes.

Unless you’re my Dad (85) @Ocani , he’s on the hunt for a new girlfriend. His last romance hasn’t worked out, but they’re still friends (she’s 83). 🤣

I’d expect someone over 25 to be able to make careful measured decisions

so 29 is young in years but should have some life experience

Anything under 40 is young in my books unless we are talking about specific things e.g learning to drive, having a baby etc.

One 80 year old I know is still working as an automotive mechanic with no plans to retire. Several others are still very active, growing kitchen gardens, building sheds from scrap, stacking firewood, taking care of others.

In the early 1980s aged 27 expecting my 4th child I was classed as an ‘elderly’ mother, I kept the maternity card as I was both horrified and amused by it. Late 60s now and still feel - mentally - like I did in my 20s.

I don't see how anyone could regard the 20s as anything other than young. But I guess it's relative.

No

Yes it's young. Not in a derogatory way.

0-18 child/teen
18-25 very young adult
26-35 young
36-46 adult
46 - 59 middle aged
60-69 older
70 plus either older adult or elderly entirely depending on your health and mental wellbeing.

That is when you start feeling old!
I am just a bit older than your daughter and the other week had to go to hospital with a very sudden, severe eye infection. The opthalmologist treating me literally looked like a teenager to me! He was probably about 30. Knew his stuff though. But made me feel old. haha

Yep, a baby adult. Nit yet fully matured brain

That is a difficult question to answer.
My younger niece is 29 and mature with a wise head on her, so, whilst the "number" is young, the person is fine.
I have a friend, who is 58 and can be an immature idiot!
i think it is a question of maturity over chronology.

For balance, I should add that I am chronologically 65, but feel about 26 :-)

As I said, you can be fit/healthy at any age if you're lucky. Although as you get older it's relative - I mean, whatever you do you won't have the heart/lung capacity or muscle mass you did twenty years previous and your brain function will also have declined. And there's nothing wrong with that nor is it shameful or insulting to acknowledge it.

And life expectancy in the UK is 80. Great if you can get beyond that, really all power to you. But, you probably won't.

In my view up to 40 is young, but there are of course varying degrees of young. A 29 year old is less young than a 19 year old. At 40, you're not very young at all anymore. Mid 50s/60, you're old. Nothing wrong with being old though, I know it's commonly said but it is true that ageing is a privilege.

I think I see most adults as just adults. I work with adults from 18 to 70 and no one older than 21 acts noticeably 'young' at all.

Relatively young yes, but old enough that they should have sense.
Why, it seems like you are trying to justify something

Wouldn't agree with this comment at all, they are a fully grown mature adult, of course they have a matured brain….why on earth would you even think this

Yes. Being in your 20's is to be young. Relatively speaking.

I see up to 30 as young. Many choices are still open regarding career and opportunities. Young enough to start on a life path if not already done so.
Probably still look youthful and plenty of time to meet a partner and have children.

Yes 29 is young
