@snorks I agree with the  @jobell, if your are a bit older I quite agree it is worse now than ever! Unless you are on the older side as the OP, (myself included) you are merely quoting statistics.  We are speaking from  a longer lived experience .  Sad but true….

@mamamia-user-482898552 This is all very true. However, when did people in their 30s suddenly become middle aged?
