Young these days is considered around age 26 or even age 30 (at least with the auto insurance companies).

Used to be 21 was "young". But everything seems to be shifted towards mid to late 20s as "young".

You consider 45-65 is middle age? Maybe, if people were living 90-130 years old.

Middle age is 35-45 years old considering the average age of death is around 80 years old for both men and women.

Middle age is not necessarily the mid point of a given era or of a life span.
Middle age - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Erik Erikson's stages of psychosocial development has the twenties and thirties as "Young Adulthood." This is the "intimacy versus isolation" stage. The next stage is "generativity v. self-absorption," and it takes place from about 40 to 65 and is "middle adulthood." The final stage, 65 and over, is "Maturity."

You're a spring chicken in the perspective of many (including mine)! As long as you have your other ducks in a row, you can relocate any number of times, till you find the place where you know you want to spend the rest of your days.
