Can you wheelie?
If the answer is no, then you are middle aged.
I'm 50 in a few months and can wheelie like an 18 year old on a council estate with a joint in one hand and a can of beer in the other.
Mainly because i learned to wheelie while skiving off school and riding an MX/BMX bike.
Age/ money has nothing to do with it.
Upbringing/attitude has everything to do with it. 😉
When does middle age end? I'm 70 😆
You know you're probably middle-aged if you feel a sense of relief when bin collections return to the regular schedule after being altered over the Christmas break.
According to the World Health Organisation
• 0-17 years old: underage
• 18-65 years old: youth/young people
• 66-79 years old: middle-aged
• 80-99 years old: elderly/senior
• 100+ years old: long-lived elderly

You're middle-aged the second you ask yourself that question...
I like the WHO definition though.
I was worried about turning 30 - I think i was aware and didn't let 'it' happen. By the time i turned 31 i'd let my guard down. Then it happened; I bought a blazer.
Officially middle aged. 😯
Millennial is for 18 - 25 yr old snowflakes, you're gen X, resigned to your fate and watching the world burn around you.
Returning to the subject of footwear, the item I'm most concerned about nowadays isn't trainers, its my slippers 🙂
Last wek I took delivery of a pair of these beauties....

They look absolutely bloody ridiculous. I couldn't care less. That's proper middle aged!
We Sweden dwellers have these, where we lounge over out wood pile in our skinny jeans

Ah! 🙂 Slippers! Now we're getting somewhere!
I've recently bought a pair of these as slippers and not only are they wonderfully comfy, but I can also aspire to sharing relaxed woodland view with Mrs Slack, although her household footwear is different..

If I was middle aged I would ask if Mrs slack has had a fall and damaged her jeans. However I am not so i wont.
Looks nice That!
As soon as I turned 50 I gained a stone in weight and bought a bike with a kickstand.

My 87 year old mother has those slippers. QED those are slippers for the elderly not for the middle aged.
She must have a very good pension mupperwrangler
