Growing up, I always thought 40 was the most commonly accepted age to be the beginning of middle age. I know everyone’s answer will be different, so I was curious what y’all think.

I’m 35, so I wonder how far off I am.

You are correct. 35.0 if we want to be super accurate.

Middle age is a mindset...

How old would you be if you didn’t know the day you were born?

The older I get the older my view of "middle aged" gets.

I’m 51 and don’t feel middle-aged yet. Maybe I’m in denial

I don’t have many aches and pains and never had the urge to buy corvettes or big boats or anything else.

I'm in my early 50s and I don't feel middle aged. I don't have any aches or pains. When I see people my age in stores with purple, edematous, swollen ankles I'm thankful I made better choices.

The age halfway between when you are born and when you die…

I’d say 35-40 is middle aged.

But I’d also add that life beyond the middle age mark is far greater than before the mark.


There’s a lot to be said about aging gracefully, with maturity, financial security, being completely comfortable with the person you’ve become as you’ve aged, as well as peace of mind- that makes the second half of this life much more meaningful than the first.

Or maybe that’s just me

I read recently that the average lifespan for an American male is 74.

I'm 37. The math checks out. I'm middle age.

I started to feel non-youthful in my late 30’s and I didn’t start rapid decline until my mid-fifties. So I’m going to say 40 to 55. I could go as high as 65, because at 61 I’m still involved in what most consider daredevil sports, but I’m starting to suck at them.
