How many Baby Boomers do we have here?

[macgeek]

Just wondering. I'm sure we have some?

The generation is generally defined as people born from 1946 to 1964, during the post–World War II baby boom.

 

[Pinky]

I was born in 1947 ... that sounds so long ago - and actually, it is!

 

[JaniceM]

I'm guessing most members here are Boomers. although individuals born between 1965 and 1970 would qualify as Seniors.

 

[hollydolly]

Yup..mid 50's here

 

[Rosemarie]

Yes, count me in. We were precious...being born so soon after the war, and had the best of health care.

 

[charry]

Yep 1955 here...

 

[Aunt Marg]

1963 baby here!

 

[Autumn]

Me, too. 1947. It was a whole different world back then. Does anyone else remember telephones that were on a party line?

Yes, but it was during the 1960s.

I absolutely do!

1960's and into the 1970's in our home!

 

[Ruthanne]

Yes I'm a boomer all right as I was born in 1957.

yes as Janice said.. we had a party line in the 60's...

Another boomer here

 

[Sliverfox]

Guess I don't fall in the boomer crowd, Feb. 1942

 

[macgeek]

growing up in the 60s and 70s 80s was awesome... I'm still stuck in the 80s personally.. Long live the 80s!

 

[Duster]

I'm one. Born smack in the middle of those years.
I remember waiting in lots of lines for everything. We were constantly being placed on lists with lots of waiting.

Having worked in my mid teens, I remember bosses treating us badly, because they could. There were far more job seekers than there were positions to fill. If you weren't eternally grateful for the poor treatment, worst hours, and $1.60 per hour, then you were told to move on and make space for someone who was.

 

[Manatee]

My kids were born in 1961 and 1963.

 

[Capt Lightning]

1950 for me (I'll be 70 next month). Mrs. L is younger and doesn't like the term 'Baby boomer'. I don't mind although I never use the term myself . I'm just a "Crumbly".

 

[JaniceM]

I've seen Boomers divvied up into Wave 1 and Wave 2, and I think that's most accurate.
Even within my family, those of us in Wave 2 didn't have much in common with the 1st wave. Many of the same values, but entirely different lifestyles. I'm still bewildered over my much-older brothers being in the military when they didn't have the right to vote!

 

[priscilla]

Born in 1949..Hard to believe I'm this old!!

 

[Old Dummy]

Count me in - just hit 70.

 

[JaniceM]

Count me in - just hit 70.

Happy Birthday!
