At what "age" does one become old?

I am 24ish (BTW)...

This is a very subjective question; however, there seems to be a point where the body ceases to show its youthful vigor.

I am getting there.

I'm 27...every now and then I start to think I'm old. Mostly when I hang out with guys from work, we're having a good time, and then I find out they're like 19 or something. I realize I should've been at this point in my life 8 years ago and I wasn't :(

I actually agree with the last part (shoot me now)

I just turned 30 and I am OLD!

VERY relative. I'm in my mid-50's and before I got hurt in 2003, I didn't feel old (except when I got up at 0230 with 4 hours of sleep...and had done it 6 days a week for the past 6 months...THEN I felt old enough to fart dust) but since I got hurt, the body FEELS and acts old...
(I had one guy explain, "When you're young, you think you're bullet-proof and shake off minor injuries, but as you get older, you realize those "bullets" actually penetrated and did damage, and you start to feel every one." The older I get, the more I agree with that.

When I was young, 30 was old...till I hit 30 and my wife rented me a wheel chair to go to birthday parties. (new year's eve parties) Then 45 was the "new old"...till I hit 45. Then, I said old is 65...and the closer I get, the more I think I'm right...:D

When I was 21 I was dating 21 year olds and I thought 30 was old. At 30 I was dating 21 year olds and I thought 40 was old, I just turned 40 and I can still date 21 year olds. So, right now I think 50 is old :)

You become old when you decide sitting on your ass is more fun than shaking it. Some people are born old. Some people never grow old (but you still don't want to be around when their shaking it).

I determined i was grown up when kids on the line at the movies really, really annoyed me. But I don't think I'm old yet.

When you first call a 19 year old a "kid" without realizing what you just said. I'm 28 and it has slipped out a few times lately.

the older you get, the older 'old' is until u find yourself OLD.
