As a child then every year is purposefully pointed out. School education years, birthdays, clothes for your age, siblings being older/younger.
As an adult when you stop paying careful attention then time all merges into one mass. Age doesn't really matter much and certainly isn't pushed in your face constantly. It's easy to keep doing repetitive things at work and home and before you know it then another 4 years go by without you keeping track. I did a job with a very extended period of postgraduate training (10 years). Then again there was a constant interest in your year of training and what stage you are at. Even other events in life are better bookmarked (that happened when I was in year 5 of my training).
If you're more mindful of the time, then it seems to pass more slowly and is better delineated.
