Sometimes I just forget ok? I mean it's changing every year

Also I think it matters less and less in your life. As a child/teenager you got asked for your age all the time

It changes all the time (once per year) if you finally managed to remember it, it changes again.

As someone who is well out of the range where people need to ask for ID when I want something, I don't concern myself with my age and frequently forget since nobody asks.

On official forms, they want to know my date of birth, not my age. Everyone I know socially, doesn't care or already knows an approximation of it, thus I'm never asked. All my work colleagues are interested in is getting the job done, not how many years I've been in the workforce/how many years till I get to retirement age/whatever.

I don't think about my age for more than a few hours a year at most. I don't even celebrate my birthday. So the years come and go, and I think about how old I am so little that I often don't even know how old I am.

You're not wrong that it's not hard to remember, but when you think about it as little as I do, you tend to lose track.... So when someone asks me how old I am, I often don't reply because I'm too busy doing math in my head to try to figure it out, quietly hoping they'll move on from the question and I won't have to answer it.

The hard part is which one will you remember. (I already had 43 different ages.)

I do. I know my age roughly of course, but I very very rarely get asked how old I am, so I forget the extact number.

I was born in January 2000. For a very short period of time I don't know how old I am or what year it is, but then the rest of the year is pretty easy after that.

I hardly remember what I was doing 5 seconds ago. Sure, that's more complicated than a number, and I think about my age rather frequently so remembering it is rather easy, but storing anything for a year and remembering it when I haven't thought about it for a while is difficult.

Also for you to calculate your age you have to remember your birthday, thats like 3 integers, vs. just 1 for your age!

You're 2035 years old? Wild..

But I'm only 33! So part of the challenge is also remembering what day it is today lol

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.

Dang thats the money.

I have a daughter who is 6 and a son who is 4. So when people ask what year they are born I need to try and do reverse math.

For like 3 years I legit thought I was older than I am because I did the math wrong on the fly once and never bothered to recheck it..

Your system is easier.

I think it's fairly common that people do some math in their head, specially when they get older than 30. Because it doesn't matter really, you never need to tell anyone how old you are anymore. Well unless you use dating apps I guess, or date people... Nobody else asks your age.

At some point, I've been asked less and less my age, so I just forget about it heh

Oh trust me, my face is evidence enough alone.
