What do you consider old age to be? What age do you think it occurs most frequently in?

Barnabas1 · 12-28-2002, 08:26 AM

55. That just seems to be the year.

vienna waits · 12-28-2002, 09:37 AM

80

Penny Lane · 12-28-2002, 11:31 AM

55? So then middle age is somewhere around 27? Not much time to live it up before old age sets in.

Montana Ponine · 12-28-2002, 11:52 AM

Probably somewhere around 70 or 80.

Kay Scarpetta · 12-28-2002, 12:01 PM

70

Titania · 12-28-2002, 12:25 PM

i think it depends on the person. some people seem to be ancient at around 65 but my greataunt is 94 and still drives, jogs, and doesnt consider herself old.

FOLrocks1 · 12-28-2002, 12:55 PM

I would say 70s...but it's not always true for everyone...

Georgia's on my Mind · 12-28-2002, 12:57 PM

65-70

sweetsuga · 12-28-2002, 01:01 PM

90

I think it's a matter of how the person thinks of themselves.

Mr. Shy Guy · 12-28-2002, 01:10 PM

65

Impressions · 12-28-2002, 01:14 PM

Old enough to take care of him/herself.

~LadyJess~ · 12-28-2002, 02:09 PM

It depends on the person. Some people are OLD at 65 but, for instance, my grandpa was 83 and died suddenly on his way to his doctor check-up. He had planned to go grocery shopping and pick me up from school that day. He was "old" but seriously, no one in my family expected him to go that "early."
