The day before yesterday, I was 20 years old, and next year I will turn 23. What day is it today?
Note: This is not lateral-thinking, and the solution is real and makes sense.

2$\begingroup$ My daughter's birthday is New Years Eve and we comment along these lines every year ("the day before yesterday she was 2, next year she'll 5!" etc. She's only 6 now and doesn't get it yet.) $\endgroup$– VickyMar 1, 2018 at 12:21

The day is
January 1st
Reasoning:
My birthday is on December 31st. And therefore yesterday, I turned 21. I was 20 the day BEFORE yesterday, though. This year on December 31st, I will turn 22, and next year I will turn 23.
