I’m 44, which makes me a young Gen X or an elder Millennial, though I’ve always been skeptical of generation categorization.
But it is fun reading stories about how Millennials ruin everything (remember that trend a few years ago) and this latest article about how whether Millennials are scared of “middle age.”
Millennials face down 40 [Business Insider] – “As millennials approach the milestone, things look a bit different than they did when our baby-boomer parents reached it and declared themselves “over the hill.” (I’m a millennial, so I’m using “our” here.) Forty is supposedly the new 30. The start of middle age no longer means sending your kids off to college, getting a divorce, or buying yourself a Corvette. The modern 40 means having toddlers running around, buying your first home, and, at last, catching up on retirement savings. Or looking around and wondering whether some of those life touchpoints passed you by.”
It’s an interesting article that puts a lot of things into perspective, whether you’re in your 40s or not.
