The older I've gotten, the shorter everything has gotten. Whether it's based in the natural warping of time perception as we age I think it's objectively real for most people. As you get older, expectations and obligations placed upon you (work and non-work) grow. People in their time working years are relied upon heavily by family and employers. This is generally true even if you avoid having children, which is the probably most significant time investment a person can make. Of course, you can live a "lone wolf" lifestyle but this is difficult for most people if they have any family at all.
