I am a “Baby Boomer”

My elder brother is a Baby Boomer.. born '46.. my second brother, and 2 sisters and I are all Boomers as well,..born 10 years later in the mid 50's one after the other, .. and my last sister and brother born in '61 & '62 are also Baby boomers.. so it stretched almost 20 years





What separates Generation Y from X? And hey Gen Z and Gen A, welcome to the party! What’s the cutoff? How old is each generation? Are they really that different?
It’s easy to see why there is so much confusion about generational cohorts.
If you’ve ever felt muddled by this "alphabet soup" of names — you’re not alone. The real frustration hits when you realize that Millennial consumers represent the highest-spending generation in 2020 — with a projected $1.4 trillion tab.
And though their current wealth has been dragged down by not one but two “once-in-a-lifetime” economic crises during their most impactful career years, Millennials stand to inherit over $68 trillion from Baby Boomer and early Gen X parents by the year 2030, setting them up to potentially be the most wealthy generation in U.S. history.
Generation Z isn’t far behind, projected to hit $33 trillion in income by 2030 — that’s more than a quarter of all global income — and pass Millennials in spending power the year after. 3

The breakdown by age looks like this:
  • Baby Boomers: Baby boomers were born between 1946 and 1964. They're currently between 57-75 years old (71.6 million in the U.S.)
  • Gen X: Gen X was born between 1965 and 1979/80 and is currently between 41-56 years old (65.2 million people in the U.S.)
  • Gen Y: Gen Y, or Millennials, were born between 1981 and 1994/6. They are currently between 25 and 40 years old (72.1 million in the U.S.)
    • Gen Y.1 = 25-29 years old (around 31 million people in the U.S.)
    • Gen Y.2 = 29-39 (around 42 million people in the U.S.)
  • Gen Z: Gen Z is the newest generation, born between 1997 and 2012. They are currently between 6 and 24 years old (nearly 68 million in the U.S.)
  • Gen A: Generation Alpha starts with children born in 2012 and will continue at least through 2025, maybe later (approximately 48 million people in the U.S.)

Born in 46 at quarter of midnight. Almost was a new year baby. Told mama years later that she could have waited another few minutes to have me and she said to wait until I got pregnant and see if I wanted to wait to get it over. Understand now!

There's a British celebrity that almost shares your birthday, she was born about 48 hours before you on December 29th 1946.
