When I was a young man I had an elder explain the mathematical theory of time relativity.

I'm going back maybe 35 years ago or longer, I was about 20 then, but I still remember his words because they made sense to me then.

He said that the reason time seems to go faster as we age is because the human mind cannot comprehend the concept of time. All we can use to measure time is our life experiences. So to a 10 year old, a year is 10% of his life. While a 50 year old only sees a year as 2% of his life. Obviously 2% is less than 10%, so it would seem to go by quicker.
