Brace yourselves, as people born from 1997 to 2012 have revealed what they consider to be 'old.'
And to be fair, us millennials - born from 1981 to 1996 - aren't too far behind in our thinking.
In a new study, the folks at EduBirdie asked 2,000 Gen Zers and young millennials about their views on getting older and what worries them the most about the future.
It seems a whopping 50 percent of millennials are worried about their financial futures, while 49 percent have a fear of not achieving enough. With the cost-of-living the way it is, can you blame them?

With the results display a lot of self doubt, there is definitely a lot of life left in those age groups.
However, the overwhelming majority of millennials and Gen Zers sort of agree on what age is considered 'old.'
When does old age start?

So, 31 percent of Gen Zers believe that anything after 60 means you're getting on a bit, while 41 percent of millennials think the same.

26 percent of the younger lot also think 40+ is old, and 20 percent of the other age group agree.
The thought of 'becoming old' in just 10 years is definitely not the one.
What gives young people anxiety about growing up?

Although people are statically living for longer than ever, it seems 51 percent of Gen Z and 62 percent of millennials are seriously worried about their future health.

The rest of the concerns such as 'losing physical attractiveness', 'becoming irrelevant and cringe', 'not achieving enough' and 'being alone' are very comparable amongst the two generations.
What people think is cringey in your 30s?

"Following teen fashion (42 percent), oversharing on social media (40 percent), and using slang (30 percent) are all cringe. However, for 49 percent of millennials, living with your parents into your fourth decade is the ultimate nope," EduBirdie explain.
"And Gen Z’s ultimate ick? OAPs – not old-age pensioners, but old-age partiers. For 47 percent, there’s nothing worse than partying past your prime."
Is the best still to come for Gen Z and millennials?
Perhaps the most promising category the overwhelming majority agreed on, is that the best times are still very much ahead.

76 percent of Gen Z said they are yet to live their best life, while 70 percent of millennials were thinking on the same wavelength.
Whilst there are clear concerns from each age group, it's good to know that people appear to be slightly optimistic about the future.
After all, age should be how you feel, not a number.
