LONDON (Reuters) - Is 40 really the new 30?

Everyone is getting older but in many ways people today act younger than their parents did at the same age.

Scientists have defined a new age concept and believe it could explain why populations are ageing, but at the same time seem to be getting younger.

I think it's time to start a movement to change the voting age to 31.

Yeah..then they'll change the drinking age and I would have to wait 8 months so I could have a glass of wine with my dinner.

You know, if this is true, Kentucky might have to change the minimum marrying age to 24, (with parental consent).

I've always felt this way :LOL
my parents were pretty hip for their time but when I remember other 40ish adults when I was little.... they all seems so old


I remember going to 40+ folks' homes & they were all tidy & a bowl of candy on the table, playing cards... ah.. good memories
but we're lucky if we get laundry done :LOL

ok, mentally I'm in my 20s-30s but when is my body gonna feel younger - HA :LOL :LOL

DP has been saying for quite some time "30 is the new 21" (guess who's turning 30 this year, lol).

For my b-day we went to Benihana's and were seating w/this family. Woman about my age, her parents and then her grandma. The grandmother mentioned that she recently turned 80.

DP "Well, you know 80 is the new 21."

Blank stares.

Well, DP doesn't like visiting w/people he doesn't know anyway, so no loss for him

Nah, because you also have to subtract 10 years from your kids ages, so you aren't even a parent!
