Aging isn’t something that only happens to old people. We’re all aging, all the time, as long as we’re alive. Most of us just don’t spend much time thinking about aging unless we’re blowing out birthday candles or reaching specific milestones. Otherwise, it doesn’t typically come up.
Today, aging is a broadening spectrum, according to David Cravit, co-author of SuperAging: Getting Older Without Getting Old. He believes that long-accepted benchmarks — buy a house by 30, gain that promotion by 40, retire and stop working by 65 — no longer apply.
Human beings are living longer and healthier than at any other time in history. Despite a drop in life expectancy during the pandemic, the human lifespan has steadily increased. The number of people living to age 100 nearly doubled over the last two decades. By 2050, there are projected to be more than 3.7 million centenarians worldwide.
As a new longevity becomes the norm, there are fewer time constraints on opportunities. You could break track and field records at 102, run for president at 82, pose in a swimsuit on a magazine cover at 81, or embrace #grandmacore in your 20s.
“The clock keeps ticking, but the spectrum gets pushed further and further, and the end gets compressed,” Cravit says. “It happens later, and it’s shorter. And until it happens, you’re still productive and learning and growing and contributing.”
