Born in 80โ So in year 2023>20+23= Iโm 43
I thought I had it easy. Born in 1990. 2022? I'm 32. 2023? I'm 33.
But now I am married. Dec 2019. So it's always hard to calculate how many years.
And to add to it. My daughter is born Nov 2021.
Good luck to anyone that asks me how old she is. You gotta wait until I count on all my fingers.
1970 gang unite!
My aunt and uncle got married new years day of 2000. Very easy to remember.
same for people born in 2010
Yeah it's hard to calculate when reality sets in. There's also a bit of reluctance from me as a lot of expectations follow me when I reveal my age even when I don't look like how old I am. It's like suddenly you feel that you are not so welcome in some conversations any more or people keep you out of their circles because they presume that you don't fit in.
I've gotten way past that and while realising that my body isn't what it was physically 20 years ago, I'm treating age as just a number and if one has a problem with that, it's really their problem not mine ๐
And by the way, I was born in 1971.
They do have to calculate it, it's just the calculation is a bit easier for them.
Y'all forget how old you are? Can't imagine ever having to calculate my current age.
You'd be surprised...
Unless you're born in the middle of the year, in which case it's constant "off by 1" errors
Array indexing still biting us in 2022
Can confirm, am born in 2000.
I just have to add 20 on to get mine, so not too bad.
I realized it was all over once I began forgetting how old I am.
Its not so bad for me, i was born in 96 so i just have to add 4
This makes me feel better about having to ask my husband how old i am.
Feb 2000 here, I agree ๐
