    33 is young! I love my 30's I'm old enough to have learned from my mistakes but young enough to make plenty more. I can't complain.

    When you're a senior citizen and referring to someone as 33 .. then, and only then is that young

    I'm 34 and I still feel like a naive, ignorant girl sometimes. But I have a good career, and a paycheck that would shame most men half again my age. So age has it's privileges. :D

    33 is young if you are a scientist - you can still apply for "early career awards" if you're under 35!

    I'm 31 so still a baby! :-)

    Age is just a number. At the age of 50, 51, 52, and 53, I left 20 somethings eating my dust during weight lifting competitions. Yep, I won 4 championship titles in a row.

    As for 33, dang, I have shoes older than that! My youngest KID is 13 years OLDER than that! I'm almost 64 and healthier than I was at the tender age of 33.

    At 33 you're not even old enough to run for President! :bigsmile:

    If ~80 is the average life expectancy, and 40 is the halfway mark, then wouldnt a 10 year range of 35-45 be middle age and 45+ be elderly?

    I'll be 40 in a few months...I'm totally having a mid-life crisis and I can't afford a sports car or a motor cycle...until my kids get to school and out of daycare.

    Technically speaking, since many of us are living well into 100... shouldn't 50 be middle aged?:wink:

    30 is the new 20 so they tell me, because 40 is supposedly the new 30. So that being said, and me being 41, 33 would then make you 22 which would be young..

    I guess some need to rationalize age somehow.
    Oh jeeze, I hope that isn't true. Nothing good happened in my 20's and I've loved the 30's and looking forward to my 40's, walker and orthopedic shoes and all...:laugh:

    Since people started living till their 90s. 30's were considered middle-aged because before advances in medicine people only lived till their 60s

    I'll be 26 in exactly a month. I'm just now starting to consider 33 not that old at all. My brother turned 34 in March, for goodness' sake. He's not old at all.

    Well, when the life expectancy was mid 50's that made 30 old. Now that people live into their late 80's and early 90's and average early 70's, 30 is the new 20.

    Child = 0-17
    Young adult = 18-39
    Middle aged = 40-61
    Senior = 62+

    whoa whoa whoa... I am 34, turning 35 in november, and I still feel about 21 at heart! I don't think I look that old either. Some people my age I guess due to smoking, lots of sun exposure, and drug use look terribly old though. Either way you are as young as you feel, and feel young darnit!
