    If you’re between 21 and 65, it tends not to matter much in most cases.

      That’s so true.

      Edit: Nope, thought of a couple important ages: 40 for women (mammogram) and 45 for everyone (colonoscopy). This is US-centric, and I’m sure there are other screenings I’m forgetting about.

        I’m fairly sure they just send notices about screening stuff where I live. No need to remember it yourself

    Just because you’re old, it doesn’t automatically mean you’re wise.

    I know lots of older people with years of experience that are just as dumb as they were when they were 18.

        I’m also considered old and I now understand what my elders used to tell me when I was younger … I feel just as dumb now as I did when I was younger … it’s not a lack of intelligence … it’s just a realization that no matter how much you try, there will always be someone smarter than you.

        If you ever do find that you are the smartest person around, you’re probably closer to death than anyone else.

      There’s that joke about using months for your kids age way past a normal range, but the other day I figured out the benefits of the month based age system. I was asked how old my child was and was questioning my sanity. " 2? 3? Uhh… 2.5…" I mean 6 months is 25% of a two year olds life. To add to that, the 9 months of pregnancy, the late nights of screaming and crying that make you forget what year it is.

      At least when you count the months you are within a close range when you get it wrong. Saying your kid is 2 or 3 years old is like saying your grandpa is either 66 or 99.

    Yeah, I catch myself sometimes doing “how old was I 🤔”… I know that I’m above 35 and below 40, but was I 37, 38 or 39 🤔 😂.

      That’s the best thing about being 40, it’s easy to remember. After this, I’m screwed.

        I’m 46. A few months ago, I was filling out a medical form and it asked me my age along with my birthdate. I had to ask my wife because I couldn’t remember. She couldn’t remember either. We’re the same age.

      soon you’ll be old enough that 1 year won’t seem worth worrying about, I assure you. difference between 29 and 30 years is miniscule and in most contexts is unimportant.
