Birthdays

Why do young people feel their birthdays take forever to come, and old people feel their birthdays just keep coming?

I would make sense that a ten-year old would feel his 11th birthday is taking 10% of his life to come round, but a 50-year old's 51st birthday just takes one-fifth of that time. Hence, the discrepancy.
