People born in the year 2000 don't have to try and calculate how old they are when people ask them their age

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

I always thought it was nuts that people don't remember, then I turned 30 and got married to someone who has a birthday less than a year before mine. Now I have two ages to remember (that are sometimes the same) and it takes a second for me to remember which is me when asked.

It's not about your age difference. It's just hitting 30. My wife is 5 years younger than me and I couldn't tell you how old either of us are

a birthday less than a year before mine

This took me far too long to understand

Yes! Preach! This is me too. And in addition to being poor at maths I'm also not articulate so I just end up looking goofy when trying to figure out which age is me.
