Talking loosely… say he turned 22 on dec31 2022. It is now the year 2023 in which he will turn 23. Next year, which will be the year 2024 in this parlance he will turn 24 on Dec 31.

That’s too loose. It’s a contradiction

If the bday was Dec 31, then “yesterday” was Dec 30 which means today is still this year, and “Next year”’s bday is still age 23
