(If I may speak from a critics' point of view), Michael Rochelle seems to believe that the Apocalypse has come to anyone who reaches the age of 30. If this is the case, then no one should be proud of reaching this apex of their miserable existence. If you are worrying about tucking your chin in your pants, slowing metabolism to the point where you would find yourself on the episode of the Golden Girls living in Miami, then you have totally succeeded in becoming "old." But to be a bit more optimistic, most people dont usually find themselves until they reach the decade of their 30's and reach their mountain peak sometime in their 40's. Look at the clear evidence. Bill Gates, Oprah, Tyler Perry, etc... So dont hurl yourself in front of a train like many old British Literature characters and give up. Granted there are other biological forces like transfat, free radicals, and daytime soap operas which may make you feel old or older, but this is not the end. Its only the beginning. And for the "younger" generation who calls someone 25 old, I guess they just dont want to reach that age b/c they will be riding in that same boat like most of us who will hopefully be blessed enough to reach that old age that supposedly no one wants to reach or say aloud.
