There are some jobs I won't do on a house, including mudding/taping. Looking over bids I noticed one offered me a senior discount because I was over 50. I didn't realize people considered 50 to be old.

I was more than happy to get discounts on things when I hit whatever age. In the last couple of years I have become more careful about what I will and will not do for myself so, I guess I am stepping into "old".

It keeps changing! When I was 20 I thought 50 was old. Now that I'm 50 and haven't grown up yet (just ask my wife) I've decided that 90 is old. I'll take any discounts I can get though.
Old is (and always has been) anyone 10 years older than I am at the time.

Go into the world and do well. But more importantly, go into the world and do good.
You guys are lucky because I'm feeling old these days
I remember taking my Mother out to dinner to celebrate her 92nd Birthday (just had her 100th a few weeks ago). During dinner she said to me, and our friends," With ya'll pushing 60, it makes me feel old."
Several years ago, when I was 60, I saw a guy I'd gone to High School with in a restaurant. I knew we were the same age. I asked him as I walked into the restaurant, "Hey Ronnie, remember when we thought a man 60 years old was old?" He answered, "That ain't old any more!"
When I'm in a store and fail to realize there is huge mirror on the wall, I Think... " doesn't that old ------- see me!?"But I think the first sign that I was getting old was the when the store clerks started to be polite and deferential. That's been going on some time now and I'm 68. Hey! I just realized ...maybe they wouldnt treat as old if I stopped talking to the mirrors!

When you can walk in a corner market in West Baltimore,on any Saturday night,and the youngins don't fool with you.So depending on your attitude,I'd say North of 60...
In my book, if you are over 100 years old, you are old.
Thanks & Happy Wood Chips,

As a 63 year old single parent to a teenager, I feel old......
One of my best friends is going to be 76 before his twins hit 20. He is going to be SO old......
Now that I'm 64, there is an old guy who stares back at me in the mirror. My back feels old. But otherwise I feel the same as ever.
Old is my current age multiplied by 1.5
When you are 10 --- 15 years old is old
When you are 20 --- 30 years old is old
When you are 30 --- 45 years old is old
When you are 40 ---- 60 years old is old
When you are 50 --- 75 years old is old
When you are 60 ---- 90 years old is old
