A little over 3 years from now, in late 2021, the oldest members of class that will graduate in the 2040s decade will be born. (though it could also be earlier due to holdbacks).

Now, think about that for a moment... the 2040s... in that decade, those of us born in the 1990s will be turning 50 at somepoint... 50! That's more than halfway through one's life, since most people usually live to about 80-90 years, except in cases of heart disease or cancer. 
If you were born in the 1980s, you're going to be at retirement age by then.

How old will you be in the year 2040, and how does this thread make you feel?
I'll be 42 for the majority of that year, turning 43 in December. My parents will be around 70 (dad will be 70-71, mom will be 68-69).

I'm sorry but why on this beautiful planet of earth are we even talking about the Class of 2040? I don't even believe people born in 2012 exist. Give me a break.  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Hmm, well that is how time works, yes.  :P

Another interesting factoid is that almost 50% of babies born today will live to see the next century (2101).

Class of 2030(!!) are starting first grade this year btw.

Yep, 1996 is as far from 2022 as 1970 is from 1996!

What I just realized thanks to Ofkx's post is that we are closer to 2030 than 2005.

I'll be 36 in 2040 and C/O 2040 is something else.

Not suprised 2014 borns even exist considering i have a cousin born in 2014.
She old as my Animal Jam account lol.

The 2040's are a long ass time from now. Y'all act like you about to die of old age tomorrow.  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Judging by the fact that this thread has passed 10 replies by the time you posted that, I'd say enough people care.
No need for you to be a dick.

What I just realized thanks to Ofkx's post is that we are closer to 2030 than 2005.

2012 is closer to 2007 than now.

We are as far away from 2010 as 2010 was from 2002.

As of June 9th, 2018, January 1st, 2020 is as far away as November 15, 2016.

In 2040, I will be 40 years old for 53% of the year. Then, I will be 41 years old for the remaining 47% of 2040.

2040 is a very long time away lol

Exactly. I don't know why we are even talking about the C/O 2040. Lmao, that class is nonexistent right now. Let's just live in the present and enjoy our youth and not think about the 2040's just yet.  ;D ;D ;D

Bruh right, I'll be 44 by then. I don't want to think that far in the future. All though I am thinking about where I want my life to be in the next 5 years.

Oh my God, I'll be 60!!

Oh my God, I'll be 60!!

So will I! :o

Oh my God, I'll be 60!!



So will I! :o


I can't imagine 1980 born's being 60 when I had many of them as my teachers when they were in their 20's (just like you 2). Even folks born in the 60's like my parents or aunts/uncles are still in their 50's right now and haven't even hit 60 yet themselves.

Oh my God, I'll be 60!!
How do you think I feel?

But they will in the 2020's.

But they will in the 2020's.


:\'( :\'( :\'(

Kids of the 70's. Teens of the 80's. Parents of the 90's and 00's. Celebrities, athletes and superstars in their prime throughout the 80's through early 00's. Awww man should I be joyful or ashamed of this? When I think of my parents it does make me feel a little better about it. Like "just hang in there pal!"

The 2040s will be the decade that the United States becomes a majority non-White country.

That will be GROUNDBREAKING!

Oh my God, I'll be 60!!


Will you still be with Lee at that time?

The 2040s will be the decade that the United States becomes a majority non-White country.

Yeah. Most major cities are already majority minority and we're still 22 years away :o.

I heard somewhere that in the year 2011, there were more non-white babies born than white babies.

Yep.

You're on thecoli aren't you? I made an account a few years ago but I haven't been on there enough. I believe that forum and Reddit are the most popular ones right now.

She was only kidding, besides both of us live far away.

You think the C/O 2040 being born in a little over three years is surprising?

Lmao, the C/O 2030 is already in elementary right now. That's more surprising. And they were born in 2012 too.

OP, kids born when you were starting high school are starting Kindergarten this year. You an old ass.
jk  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I'll give you a score of 8 out of 10 for that one. If you would have said "poop deck" instead, I would have awarded you a perfect 10.  ;D

February is #FakeNews. Not even a real month.

You were born in July, right?
July is just an expansion month added in honor of Julius Ceaser, same with August. So if anything, July is #FakeNews and not a real month.
Notice how September-December are the 9th-12th months of the calendar, despite the fact that in Latin;
Septem = Seven
Octo = Eight
Novem = Nine
Decem = Ten
That's because September-December were originally the 7th-10th months of the calendar before July and August were added.

What I just realized thanks to Ofkx's post is that we are closer to 2030 than 2005.


Hahah I remember on New Years Day 2015 when I freaked out that we were now closer to 2030 to 2000, but thats just on a whole new level considering I was at school in 2005 :-\\.
