Seventy-seven percent of middle-age Americans (35-54 years old) say they want to return to a time before society was “plugged in,” meaning a time before there was widespread internet and cell phone usage. As told by a new Harris Poll (via Fast Company), 63% of younger folks (18-34 years old) were also keen on returning to a pre-plugged-in world, despite that being a world they largely never had a chance to occupy.
35 is middle-aged??
I’m 36. Been feeling midlife crisis-y for at least a year. My body’s on the decline (not bad but I obviously passed my peak), I’m terrified of illness, time feels like it has truly shifted into high gear. I’ve just been trying to embrace my middle age lol
Bloody hell. I’m 34 and might be in the best shape I’ve ever been since I changed my diet and started regularly swimming. My only regret is I waited until a couple of years ago.
Swimming is such a good exercise. Nothing else hits so many muscle groups and does cardio at the same time.
I’ve stayed in relatively healthy shape, so I’m just starting to notice that everything is starting to feel…stiffer, primarily. I can’t run and jump with the same effortlessness I always could before.
American healthcare.
…my bones hurt, now.
Yes?
I mean… if life expectancy is 76.4 years then “middle” is 38.2… 35 is a reasonable approximate start to the “middle” age.
34, here. I’m still a youth!! XD
Amen to that sister!
