[quote=scaredyclassic]If ones age is right on border of boomer and gen. X, does one get to choose?[/quote]
all that matters is that you are probably aligned more with the boomers. gen x is more characterized as being in teens through the 80’s and early adults through the 90’s. sounds like you were an adult through the 80’s and then mid-life into the 90’s.
consider yourself lucky. the bulk of gen x has had a rough go at it.
