"Interesting. This article describes both my wife and I to a very high degree. Being both born in 1961, we have been continually labeled as "late boomers". This is patently false. We are, without any doubt, "early Gen-Xer"s."

Gee, I can't figure out what we are...I was born in 57, hubby 55. We've always lived within our means, the only debt we have is our mortgage (which is about the size of most peoples' auto loans) and I've been home full time with my kids for the past 15 years. (The oldest of which is a high school senior.) I know we're boomers, but we don't feel like it.

Thank you so much., I've been saying this for years. We are NOT baby boomers. THEY are the pig in the Python, all we got was their waste (kind word for their excrement.)

We are NOT baby boomers. Early Gen-Xers sounds right. I was moshing and was there with the early punk rockers. That isn't the baby boomers. The boomers are Woodstock, Watergate and Haight-Asbury. Its LSD and Timothy Leary, its the Berrigan Brothers and Howard Zinn, most of us werent even alive (really we were babies when these nuts were hitting their stride.)
