I was born in 1989 and the math is HARD some days.

    Do you guys not remember how old you are year to year? Are you frequently calculating your age from your birth year instead of just adding 1 to it on your birthday?

      I always thought it was nuts that people don’t remember, then I turned 30 and got married to someone who has a birthday less than a year before mine. Now I have two ages to remember (that are sometimes the same) and it takes a second for me to remember which is me when asked.

        It’s not about your age difference. It’s just hitting 30. My wife is 5 years younger than me and I couldn’t tell you how old either of us are

        Yes! Preach! This is me too. And in addition to being poor at maths I’m also not articulate so I just end up looking goofy when trying to figure out which age is me.

      I frequently forget, because I rarely need my age in my daily life.

      I find that the older I get, the less I discuss or think about my age throughout the year so it gets more difficult to remember. Also, my birthday is in January so it’s over pretty quickly and I don’t tend to think about it again while I’m busy thinking about my 4 kids birthdays that are coming up, instead!

        No, I’m mid-40’s, but I usually don’t forget my age. LOL. Although a couple of months ago someone asked how old I am and I said I was 10 years younger than I actually am. I didn’t realize what I had done until the next day.

      Got to tell you, friend… birthdays don’t matter that much after you’re a few decades down the road. Just another day closer to death, but maybe you get to go out to a nice restaurant.
