If you describe someone as "old" . . . what age would that be: Someone in their 80s or 90s? Someone in their 70s? 60s? Even 50s? Well, it depends who you ask.
A new survey asked people, "At what age do you think someone officially becomes 'old'?" And 22% of Gen Z'ers say you're over the hill at the age of 35. That includes 6% who say you're old at 30, and 3% who say it's 27.
The oldest members of Gen Z are around 28 . . . so maybe they're already spotting some gray hairs.
The older you get, the later people define "old." Only 15% of Millennials consider a 35-year-old to be "old." They didn't ask older adults.
