39. I am 32 so I have a long ways to go (assuming the reaper doesn't get me early)

but I had a student who was 56 the last couple semesters, very nice lady, always gave me crap about being almost as old as her kid and also tried to play on the "I'm an old lady, I can't remember, I feel bad about being old etc".

I told her hey don't feel bad about reaching any age - not everyone makes it.
