I'm currently having a heated discussion with some friends and a family member about where one of us who was born in 1983 - falls into Generation X or Millennials - I'm saying it's X because the boomers are from 1946-1964 (18 years) but according to "the internet" it says Gen X is from 65-80 (15 years).

I personally feel that a generation is 20 years - why should the boomer generation be worth 18 years while Gen X is only worth 15 years and Millennials are considered anywhere between 1980 to 2000 (20 years)?

So why are the amount of years fluctuating to fit people's little cliques and mindsets when it should be 20 years tops?

Born in '83, I remember being a Gen Xer per the media, my parents....that's what I was when I was a teen. It wasn't until a few years ago I read I might be a Millenial. I relate more to Gen X, and also don't really care. Just providing anecdotal evidence for you.

Ummmmm, haven't lived at home for 20 years. Own land and a house. Self-employed and provide jobs for others. Have a full-grown son who is also able to financially take care of himself on his own and doesn't need to live in my basement. No sure where you got that I moan about Boomers, it's been 4 days since I've been online for leisure, lol. I don't really have the time to whine and moan.
