Over 60 I would consider old. When you're ready for retirement.

45ish to 60 middle aged.

And anyone up to the age of 40 is young.

I would say about 60+ is old, but I also agree with the people that said it depends on the person.

Yeah, it depends on the person.

Some people in their sixties are hunched over, zimmer frame and take forever to move around. Have several health problems etc.

Whereas there's others who are still as fit as they were and move around normally with no trouble (or need for a hip replacement). Like Helen Mirren, she's not your average 65 year old woman.

65+

Life expectancy is too high now for it to be anything less.

However
past it = 25+

It'll be awful when I reach my thirtieth birthday, I was having existential thoughts from turning 20, nevermind 30

I think a lot of people confuse middle aged with being old. I'd say 65+ is old.

Just reminded me of something my Grandad said to my Nan. He said when she hit 60 he was swapping her for two 30 year olds

I think when people retire they're old. I think that's 60 or 65.

Sounds grim I know, but I'm 25 next month and have to get used to the idea.

So you have less than 10 years outside of school being "with it" and then have 40 years of being past it before you reach old age?
