I was born in 1989 and the math is HARD some days.

    The hardest is my parents’ age.

    • 1965 to 2000 -> 35
    • 2000 to 2023 -> 23
    • 35 + 23 = brain leaking

      I usually add 50 to their birth year and add/subtract the remainder from that date. So for 1965 I’d say they were 50 in 2015, so that makes them 58 in 2023. Makes the mental math easier for me.

      But I never even realized that was how I did it until I saw your version written out and was like “huh, that’s really confusing”
