In these days of increasing life-spans, can we ever truely get old anymore? Are there still old people or is it relative to ourselves?

I always say you are as old as you feel To me I think that old now is when you are in mid 80s to the age of 90 You can not call before that old anymore

i like your idea so much. I too think age is relative to the society you live in. As life expectancy increases it is natural for who the rest of society deems old also to be refised upwards. However I also believe it is not politically correct to refer to people over pensionable age as old. We have quietly abandoned the concept of an old age pension blessed be

yes agreed. Right now, old is 70s, but it used to be 40s, nah in truth it used to be 25, lol. For me, old is a generation older than ourself and therefore we can never truely be old, just matured blessed be
