Born in 01. I’m excited to be 24 and have a celebration with my girlfriend and family, but I feel OLD.
What is the cutoff? When do you stop being a young woman?
(I was going to say I wish I was still around 10 years younger when I realized that people born in 2011 are going to be/are 14 and not 5.)
Other edit: It’s been almost 8 years since my Sweet 16. Holy crap. My sister was 6.
You can consider yourself whatever you want for however long you want.
If you feel young and people thing you are weird for saying so that is their problem. Young is a feeling not a number.
As has been said, 30. This is why my aunt Sharon has claimed to be 29 for as long as I can remember. She’s the only 29 year old in the nursing facility.
0 to 30: young. 30 to 60: middle age. 60 to 90: old. 90 to 120: ancient.
Damn my thoughts exactly. Those were the age ranges I immediately thought of.
As someone in their 30s, you are a young woman
I’d say anyone under 30 is “young”.
I mean anyone before 40, really. Once 40, you’re middle aged.
The “young adult” category is usually cut off by 30, though, according to Meetup groups and age-restricted social groups I’ve seen online.
According to u.s. law, age discrimination kicks in at 40. If you’re under 40 they can say you’re too young.
I don’t understand; who is the hypothetical “they” and why would you get kicked out for anything just for being under as opposed to over 40?
Employers can’t discriminate against people for being 40+ for housing it’s 55+ they can legally say you’re too young to work or live somewhere
Thanks!!
I would hope so
Yes. You’re still young enough where you don’t seem out of place going to bars every friday night, and hanging out of the tops of limos going WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO as the limo drives down the street. The driver isn’t annoyed that you’re not acting your age. The driver is annoyed that his job is basically glorified babysitter on wheels.
But as a young woman, you need all of the advice. You need to do all the things. See all the stuff. And my advice is to do nothing. Relax, don’t do it. When you want to go do it. Relax. Don’t do it. When you want to come.
All the advice. None of the advice. Do everything. Do nothing. Life is all about making decisions. Some decisions you’ll love having made. Others you’ll later regret. Life is all about finding the road that leads to self acceptance and inner peace.
But shoot it in the right direction. We’re making it your intention. Live those dreams. Scheme those schemes. Got to hit me with those laser beams! Ow ow ow! Laser beam me! 1, 2, 3, 4
18-24 usually gets grouped together for census and survey stuff so you got a good year left in the tank before you’re part of the 25-44 crowd
And a decade or so before your targeted ads switch from fast fashion, adventure holidays and entertainment to things like lawn care products and orthopedic footwear.
😮💨
Young and old is relative. I side with those saying young is until 40, then you’re middle aged.
Whereas I’m in my late 40s and don’t feel particularly old… if anyone describe me as middle aged I’d assume they were joking around 😂
anyone born after 2000 is young in my book.
And will be for ever.
I used to think that but for “anyone born in a year after my birth year”, but now I look at some such people and realize that all people eventually turn older. :/ OP is a lot younger than even that though.
Thanks! I’m still young!
Yeah, come on, of course. “Young” = no one would question the chromosomal health of your baby if you chose to have one right now. So it’s in the 30s when that starts to get shaky, but certainly not the 20s.
Leornado DiCaprio says you got 1 more year!
M26. I feel old as shit and it’s only gonna get worse. A lot of it is your attitude and environment, something i’m struggling with rn. You can still be young in your 60ies if you have wonderful people surrounding you.
I’m 43. I say I’m old, but I don’t actually believe I’m old.
Don’t convince me otherwise.
For me (male) even turning 30 didn’t feel “old”; in my mind that was still basically in my 20s. When I turned 31, though, it hit me. Of course, it’s still not old, at most middle age, but hard to say you’re “young” anymore. But hopefully that means mature. You still have a lot of your energy and health, hopefully, but now also hopefully have a better understanding of what to do and how to make the best use of your life for your goals.
I’m 58. You are a young woman.
You soldering stuff is pretty awesome. I just joined the other day and ran across your stuff.
