The ages of my life go pretty much backwards. I was a little heathen demon child who was hateful and greedy and violent and stole things, so it was at my youngest that I represented the "Iron Age." This lasted for a very long time.
During High School, I underwent serious life changes, and for a short time in and then out of High School, I was actually a kind, caring and courageous human being. This was my Heroic Age. I then suffered some reverses in my life, which made me angry, and started playing football seriously. I was generous with my time and money (not impious), but still warlike and violent. I used football and weight-lifting, and physical labor to contain these violent impulses. This was my Bronze age.
Then I suffered a serious injury at work (undone by my recklessness?) and came back to college to study. This was my Silver age. I was not particularly concerned with my others (was not worshipping the Gods), but I was no longer engaging in violent past-times (was not warlike). Finally, I have continued my education and am beginning to give back to others. Through this, I hope to enter my Golden Age.
