Average Age...

What do you feel to be the average age of people posting to the garden?

Lon · Post by **Lon** » Tue Nov 30, 2004 8:04 pm

At 70, I suspect that I am one of the older ones, if not the oldest. But judging from the posts Paula, my guess would be an average age of 27.

I suspect that it's about 40. Some school-children who have contributed lately may have had an impact on this figure!

Oh come on Bill, maybe they are just 'young at heart'

I turn 40 in a couple of weeks, I know, I know ~ I don't look a day over 39

I mean "Olly" and "Beautyful" (SP?). Yes, I did "get it"...

>>^..^ I turn 40 in a couple of weeks, I know, I know ~ I don't look a day over 39

That'd be a young 39, then?

From what it seems of the ages listed, I am the second oldest. Just turned 62, and in fact put in for my retirement today, (Takes affect 1/31/05) after working "45" years straight!!! With only 2-1/2 months off all during that time!

It's scary, but also exciting at the same time, as I will be starting a new life. And probably will be visiting the Forum more often. All you Forum Gardner's are great, and are helping me get through this transition period. Thankyou all!!!

My all best wishes are with you for a happy, satisfied and properous post-retirement active life.

I feel quite young now! The older you get, the more experience of life you've had and the better equipped you are to make interesting posts on a forum such as this!

Thankyou Suresh Gupta, you may recall (I especially do) that you were one of the first nice people that sent me "words-of wisdom" when I first joined the Forum. Back then I was looking for any information on Retirement Support Groups. (As I was confused and upset emotionally) As it seems to have turned out, this Forum Garden is quite a support group for me, and the members experiences and information from around the world is interesting, informative, and seemingly is helping me adjust.

Again, Thankyou all Forum members!

Wow you're right, this is the first time I ever told anyone how old I was, it's scary!

It's all Paula's fault!!

Paula · Post by **Paula** » Fri Dec 03, 2004 6:47 pm

there are clues in people's messages that reveal their age? i assumed the average was between 42-52...people who have time to chat? more laid back, have computers and have discovered the age of forums..every-one wants to say something.

beautyful · Post by **beautyful** » Tue Dec 07, 2004 3:50 pm

as I said I'm 19, won't be 20 till April next year. Strangely i feel old already though! :-3

All people get "older", but all people don't necessarily "Mature"!! Some still act like children, no matter what their age. You seem to be mature beyoud your years! Being a teenager seems like it has always been an awkward stage, no matter what generation

Hang in there it does get better! (been there, done that!)
