Maybe it's because I grew up in California, but I had never heard of a Golden Birthday before.

Just curious to see if you know what it is.  If you don't, I'm sure someone will share.

maybe its a midwest thing? It's when you turn the age of your date of birth. I was born on Nov. 15, so my golden birthday was when i turned 15.

Mine was when I turned 23 too! (23rd of September)

I got a gold color cake with gold color balloons, and my family each bought me a peice of gold jewelry.

My friends all bought me chunks of pyrite (Fools gold).

Mine was when I was 4 because I was born on July 4th! It is exactly what witiwebprod1 said it's when you turn the age of your date of birth. So Katrina when is/was your golden birthday?

Mines was last year. 21ST of April When I Turned 21. I Dont Believe In Superstition or Golden Birthdays.

I wonder if it's just a myth or made up or like somebody said, "a "MIDWEST" thing".

**My 11th was a "Super Golden Birthday" because my birthdate is 11/11...and when I turn 55, it will be a Spectacular Golden Birthday because the number will also be doubled for the YEAR--11/11/11! I first realized that when renewing my driver's license--that is now good till 11/11/11. It doesn't stop there, because every 11 YEARS from then on I will have double numbers in the date, month AND the year: 66 in 11/11/22, 77 on 11/11/33, 88 on 11/11/44, and hopefully I will see 99 on 11/11/55!! After that, it will be "just another birthday"! LOL! Oh, and my 2 children, born 19 months apart, both share the SAME NUMBERS in their birthdates! Not the same birthday, but if you take each number in numeric order, they are the same, with the addition of the number "1"--for the first child! :-)

Golden Birthday? Never heard of that one. I think mine happened already. Since my birthday is December 5th, I guess my "Golden Birthday" was when I turned 5 years old, 26 years ago. Which would make that the year of 1981 - 5 years after my birth year, 1976.

Wikipedia had some very interesting information on birthdays in general, and mentions Golden or "Star" birthdays also.

I bet if you look further online, there is more.

...and here is more on the subject--I didn't know this. I always thought it was a universal "thing", but interesting that the woman mentioned was in Chicago...:-)http://everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=14

You know what'd stink? If you were born on Feburary 29th. You wouldn't be able to celebrate your golden b-day!

Well...maybe modern medicine will have advanced someday to allow a person to make it to 130!!

Thanks for all the comments. Too bad I didn't know about golden birthdays until a few years ago.
Mine was when I was 20...and that wasn't a few years ago.
