Using the most common definition of those born 1981-1996: Oldest millennials turn 44 this year, youngest turn 29. Next year we'll officially transition to "30s to mid 40s."

And he pondered, how DID he find himself at some sort of pre-historic blood ritual? Was this not his beautiful wife? Was this not his beautiful car?

As far as mental maturity goes I skipped from 15 to 65, which is to say I've never truly behaved as a normal adult free of childish and/or eccentric whims.
