I mean I could come up with ruder words but past a certain point a bad take is just funny.

hm, hold on your reaction suggest the number is not just off, it's far off I guess it would make perfect sense to define "midlife" such that it's centered around half the life expectancy, right? at least it wouldn't be a "bad take" so let's round it to 40…

I mean honestly the take is pretty bad at any age point - I can't think of a single point in my life to date where I wouldn't be envious of my life as it is now - but the "midlife starts at 30" is just the icing on a beautiful young-people-having-terrible-opinions cake.

I'd be fine with a labelling of "midlife" as like 30-50 or whatever (though I think traditionally midlife crises start after 40), but coupled to "everyone in midlife is lame" it becomes funny as hell.

I see, I thought you were reacting to the number alone proceed

I am a little bit. I think of 30 as the age when people start to have shit a bit more figured out and a lot of the interesting stuff really starts happening, so I'd be kinda reluctant to consider it midlife and would probably think of that as more like 40-60, but I care less.

I am too aspie for this I would 100 % agree that a lot of people get shit figured out after 30 and do a lot of interesting things, but I would also call that period midlife, just because… "mid"… again, I'm too aspie for this

I think of it more about division into eras of meaningfully different life stages than necessarily mid by year. But like I say, I don't care that much - perfectly happy to label midlife as 30-50 if that's useful in context.

right there is definitely some sort of meaningful stage change around late 20s to early 30s for a lot of people I think we can do away with "midlife" anyway and call it… adulthood, maybe? maturity? don't know what other stage changes happen further down the road

I think 40 is midlife because it's midway between coming of age and retirement
