It changes once a year, how stupid are some people that this is an issue?

tbf, it may not be hard to calculate, but it is hard to admit I'm almost halfway my thirties...

Also born in 89, I can say I was still born in the Soviet Union.

If you're born in '89 just add 11 to the current year and you have your age (34). This works for any year you're born.

Born in ''83? Just add 17 to the current year. You have your age (40)

Try 77 sometime. The only reason I knew my mom's age is she was born in 57. Occasionally I'd even have to work the other way to figure out how old I was!

My kids were exactly 18 months apart, same day, one in 1999 and one in 2001. Math made (mostly) easy, baby.

I was just telling a friend that being born on a decade makes it easy for me to keep track, whereas I've heard my brother ask his wife to confirm his age.
