"Middle age" has never been about being exactly 50% of the way through the average life span. It's much less about "how much time you have left" and more about the point where you can't realistically think of yourself as young anymore. The effects of age become impossible to ignore, compounding, and increasingly obvious.

It's basically just your 40s-60s. Not the exact midpoint.

It's better to do it later in life anyway that way you actually have some money to go mad with

Fuck, I was middle aged when I was like 15.

Well that’s a stupid name and they should change it, call it 3/4 aged.

Think of it as being a middle aged woman/man - timer starts when you're considered a woman/man, so I probably at 18. Then, being "middle aged" actually falls in the 40s-50s.
