65 y/o is gen x no? boomers would be from the end of ww2 to the civil rights act wouldn't they... oh i guess that's like 60 to 80

all this time i thought my parents were gen x... but they're actually boomers!

My mom's one of the youngest boomers, born in December 1964. She's 59. Still fits the boomer stereotype to a T, though.

how can she be 59 if she was born in 64?

edit: I'm stupid, I was sure 2024 was last year...

It's okay. This year is aging in dog years.

born between 46 and 64 according to wikipedia.

Meaning the last boomer will turn 60 just this year.
