  • Do you mean a mature adult that can make decisions for themselves or an adult who's already been doing that for quite some time?
  • Who said 31?

    Skewed world view!  I'm 27 and I don't plan to be old in 4 years...

  • Somebody in an online class I'm taking congratulated me on finishing my degree as an older adult (one of the getting-to-know-you questions we had to answer was what year we graduated from high school). I'm 42. The person congratulating me is, based on her HS graduation, at least 34. I made sure to congratulate her right back for also finshing her degree as an older adult.

    Signed.

    First off, who says that?  And second, not old.

    Love it! :)

    Yeah... I'm turning 42 in less than 2 weeks.  I don't consider myself an "older adult" by a long shot.

  • Old to me is always about 5 years older than my parents.
    I agree with everything that muddled said. You should listen to her. -ESDReturns
  • I consider my 73 yr old Grammy and my 91 yr old Grampy to be "older adults," lol. Most adults are older than me. But that doesn't make them "old." 
  • Based on some of these responses, as well as the beebees who post about not having children in their feeble 30s, I feel like I should go out and procure myself a walker.
    This is my siggy.
  • I thought "older adult" was standard terminology for what we also call "senior citizen."

    Yeah, it's not like I'm getting 10% discounts on anything because I'm 42.

  • When I was in highschool I thought 25 was old...42 would have been considered ancient!

    Now, 42 doesn't seem old at all (I'm 42).  But for a 34 yr old to think 42 is old?  That's insane. 

    The person who voted 31 as old was probably the beebee on ML that wants to be married at 18.

  • I thought "older" might be above 50, but "old" would be above 70. As in.....my mom's older, but my grandparents are just plain old.

    This. I picked 50s to 60. I think once you get to the 60s, you're old, because you get to 65 and get those fancy discounts. But I don't think you're ELDERLY until at least the 70s. 

  • Oh I was thinking, "older" in terms of old enough that my opinion actually counts.
