I honestly don't understand why some people believe this. I dont think about my whole life history every day (and even less from moment to moment). I also dont have perfect recall but even if I did, at any one moment I am only referencing memories from the same amount of past moments (or at most slightly more). I really wonder how much more differently than me do you process everything, think, and perceive for this to ring true rather than a pretty but obviously false story.

Agreed. My guess has always been it is because of lack of variety, not an intrinsic property of getting older. Take a summer off and travel to unknown lands, and when you get back tell me that didn't feel just as long or even longer than summer break did in grade school. Spend that same summer in the office or in your normal routine and it will fly by.
