Age of members (poll)

[annie]

At 43, doesn't that make me one of the very oldest...ok, maybe the GREAT-Grandma!

I've only been addicted to 2 forums in my life.

Switchfoot about 3 years ago....(very young crowd over there!)
and Derek Webb...Crazy religious board...but oh-so-fun

I completely agree. I thought I was one of the younger people who was reading Steve's and Erin's blog. I am really glad there are so many people here of all different age groups.
Most people my age I meet are in the college, drinking, drugs, getting laid, etc part of life who have zero interest in anything else. I am very excited to see so many people my age and all ages taking an interest in PD.

I'm 19, and seeing that so many are around my age is interesting to know. Heh.

I'm 50 and still awakening... I have a 13 yo daughter who keeps me up to date. She and her friend are busy watching youtube.

That would make YOU the Great-Grandma

Cuz I'm only 43!

Do you feel "outnumbered" joanmhe by the younger-set? (I do!)

What brings you to Pavlina Forums??

[ahimel]

Usually when I go to conferences on personal development, investing, etc, I'm relatively young. People are always saying, "I admire you getting an early start!" which is a tremendous ego boost. Looks like I'm a pretty typical Pavlini, though. These 15-year-olds make me feel like a slow bloomer.

In my defense, when I was 15, there was no such thing as a personal development blog.

[sourceofmiracles]

I'm 31. I actually expected most to be in 30's. Either way, so far its a good group.

[Hartmut]

Just to add a bit to the counterweight: I am 48

[Light]

Chalk another one up for 17. I'm glad to see there's a good number of people here around my age, yet plenty older to offer some experience.

[demk]

I'm 23.

Its cool that young people are getting into this kind of thing. I think it shows that young people are demanding more from life and are willing to search for the best ways to live a good life. It is a postive sign of change to me. Society wll become more empowered to make things better.

25 and growing. I see most people are in the 18 - 23 range.

[helgi]

23 also, and find it very encouraging to see people this young being interested in something other than getting drunk and watching crap television!

This is one of the ways the internet is changing things, allowing people to take a short cut in elevating their perspective above social conditioning

[child]

Hello everyone, i am 33.

And why is the 29-35 bar is in pink?

[kljsadfhklj]

I'm eighteen.

[Andy]

So it looks like I'm one of the younger folks, 21 over here. I agree with enjoying the age diversity, quite conducive to providing interesting perspectives

[darkmoon]

I'm 28, and feeling old when seeing this poll A couple of years ago I didn't even have an idea what personal development was

[confused]

I think maybe by the time people are close to 50 they usually know what they are doing with their lives. However, I am also 50 and almost done raising kids...what next?

[Faith]

Hi, I'm 52 - adding to the age diversity. I'm really surprised not to see more oldsters here. But I think we can all learn from each other, regardless of our ages.

I've been interested in personal growth and learning all my life. And, unlike Steve, it took me three colleges, three changes in majors, and 32 years to finish college.

[digimint]

I think it is great that so far the demographic is young. I wish I had started into personal development a lot earlier, however it might not have been as interesting a ride as it has been if i did so I accept where i am at, at 48.

Missed your response last night-
I'm encouraged to see other "oldsters" here.
I just happened on the blog via a google search on the Lazy Millionaire book that he reviewed, and have been reading the blog almost daily since.

It's also an age range where people begin getting interested in personal development.

I'm 35, which is actually pretty young to working in this field. Most of the popular writers and speakers in the field are in their 50s and beyond.

You're only 35! Gosh that's a very young age to gain such exposure and to be so widely-known as an authority in this field. Now that I know your age, I've more respect for you ha!

Well, I have 4 more years to go. Hopefully when I'm 35 (I'm 31 this year), I'll have touched many more lives and helped them in their love, relationships and marriage.

Cheers,

Hi,

Perhaps I am the oldest here having recently celebrated the 21st aniversary of my 39th birthday!

Cheers,

I like that

[Kryalis]

27 (I prefer it as 1B, then it looks smaller), seems somewhat median .

Hair fell out when I was 19, so i'm only 8PH (post hair).

The other trick is rounding it to nearest number of ice ages. Then it's still 0 (and will hopefully remain so...)

Looking forward to growing old with the rest of you

[Michelle]

I will be 28 at the end of this month.
