    Why do people even calculate this? It’s an integer you only have to increment once a year. Just remember your age.

      I hardly remember what I was doing 5 seconds ago. Sure, that’s more complicated than a number, and I think about my age rather frequently so remembering it is rather easy, but storing anything for a year and remembering it when I haven’t thought about it for a while is difficult.

      Also for you to calculate your age you have to remember your birthday, thats like 3 integers, vs. just 1 for your age!
