I be 44 this year! Just after my third lower back surgery

Brag much? Look you Mr. Maturity. I just exited my mid 30s, anow had to transition into calling myself late 30s.

3.months left

Lucky! I got chronic nerve pain at 40. Good excuse to smoke pot, tho

Don't forget the sudden need for "readers".

I was gonna say. We're all in the back seat of a car because you're not running from that thing with knees that old.

btw you posted it 2 times

40 is the new bankrupt

That can't be right, that would mean I'm actually getting older

Congrats on the first kid! I have young kids and recommend getting some cardio in now for more energy. It's been helping me.

Hell no. 30 was just the "oh I'm a real adult now" realisation. 40 is middle age.

Most people you know are not "millennials", 1976 is not even close to a millennial birthdate lmfao

At some point, every person born in the 20th century while be classified as a millennial.

Well now at least you can say you know of me, I have 4 years left before 40.

Those of us in the second half of millennial aren’t that different than the first half, the biggest difference is things like YouTube and Facebook were high school things for us instead of college things.

I ... know almost no people born between 1990 and 2000.

But I know a bunch of GenZ ... approaching ... 30

How are both of these true

As Gen-X, I can confirm that 30 is far more traumatic than 40.

genz stare

My parents started referring to me as "middle-aged" when I was like 35 specifically because they knew it would drive me nuts. And with the current trajectory of American life expectancy, the math might actually bear them out.

There was never any hope to retire

Who needs retirement when you can just die working

I'm mid forties now and I'm preparing for battle

It really depends on your physical fitness level going into your 40s. That's the main reason I work out, so getting old sucks less.

Nah, we're angry but we're pretty lazy

Millennials typically are defined as being born between 1981 and 1996.

Like it or not, 1981 was 45 years ago. Modern Times (1936) is nearer in time to The Empire Strikes Back (1980) than The Empire Strikes back is to 2026.

the person worrying about you sounds like a great person

in my 50s now. mentally, I feel like I'm in my late 30s.

in my 30s I felt like my mid 20s.

in my 20s I felt like mid teens.

all of this is wrong because your perspective changes as you age. just because that how you feel you felt then doesn't mean that's exactly how you felt.

better way to put it, you can't feel emotions until you have them and once you've had them you can never feel how you felt then.

you are 33. I am 52. we are the age we are and nothing else matters.

Mentally I still feel like I'm 18. Not sure that's ever really going to change though.

I feel like I have been 33 for at least 10 years

By the same article you posted, this is 3 years late. That fucker is already on the car and climbing towards the rest of us

The graduating class of 2000 were the original millennials before it was used as a general term for an entire generation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennials

They coined the term in 1987, around the time children born in 1982 were entering kindergarten, and the media were first identifying their prospective link to the impending new millennium as the high school graduating class of 2000.[29]

The Oregon Trail generation!

Missed out on that one by a couple years unfortunately, though I feel more of a connection to those who had a pre-digital childhood like myself than I do to the iPad babies of today.

Was looking for this comment, thanks!

Sure whatever millennials are consider starting in 1981. So oldest is 45. But whatever they are all made up and mean nothing. Cause now they are starting micro generations.
