I guess I still have time to be strong, rich, and wise. Too late for the handsome bit, though.

I'm 27. My knees have given me off and on trouble since I was 21, which is also when I acquired the ability to gain weight. But if pressed, I'd say I feel 27, except when I confront some aspect of the adult world and feel like a little kid who's just pretending to be a part of it.
Last year when this thread rolled around, I felt like I wasn't enough of a member of the boards to post. That sure changed fast.

I managed to miss this thread too, when I joined last year. I'm 28, but most of the time feel like I'm still only 21 or so - and this despite having been married for just over 18 months now
Still, having been a student (first undergraduate, then PhD) for the best part of 10 years, and then spending a year being unemployed, I was finally given a job last week and I start tomorrow. So I might be about to feel a bit more adult all of a sudden (and I'll have a lot less time to spend posting on this forum pretending I know anything about go
)

Recently turned 18. Going to be studying mathematics in Utrecht next year if I don't fail my exams...

Getting older may not be easy but it beats the alternative.

I turned 40 last week.
As the poet says: half-way is already passed and now is starting the age of memories (pardon my bad translation).
But I am not depressed at all (here may come an emoticon indicating a lie).

35, imo calendar age is not as relevant to lifestyle / how old you feel as the number of kids you got
i have 2 and as a consequence too little time for go

20. When I wake up in the morning I feel 60, but when I'm playing soccer with my friends I feel 10.

I realized I posted earlier in the thread without answering the question--poor form.
29--will be 30 this year. I've enjoyed my 20s and would do it all over again if I could. I'm not dreading my 30s, but I've just had a great decade, all things considered.

Yes, it's a good one.
Well, at least I still have a shot at being wise.

According to my mom, I'm handsome, according to my wife I'm strong, according to my daughter I'm rich, and although I'm in the home stretch for #4, my dad has been calling me a wise guy since I was 7.

missed the thread until now...
i am 20 and i am still working to make every day more awesome than the previous one (and every day to play my best game of go)
on the other hand, i like saying that i feel old since 18, since then i don't remember my age and just subtract my birth-date from the current year (but i am still better off than my sister, i compute her age from mine)
