People born in the year 2000 don't have to try and calculate how old they are when people ask them their age - Lemmy.ca

I was born in 1989 and the math is HARD some days.

Do you guys not remember how old you are year to year? Are you frequently calculating your age from your birth year instead of just adding 1 to it on your birthday?
I always thought it was nuts that people don’t remember, then I turned 30 and got married to someone who has a birthday less than a year before mine. Now I have two ages to remember (that are sometimes the same) and it takes a second for me to remember which is me when asked.
It’s not about your age difference. It’s just hitting 30. My wife is 5 years younger than me and I couldn’t tell you how old either of us is

a birthday less than a year before mine

This took me far too long to understand

Yes! Preach! This is me too. And in addition to being poor at maths I’m also not articulate so I just end up looking goofy when trying to figure out which age is me.
