Born in 1987 so def a millennial. Entering 4th year of practice and loving it but unsure about long term goals beyond running my small estates/real estate firm as a business since I’m very business oriented.

I think the usual definition for Millenial is anyone born between 1980 and 1996-ish (1990 baby here). Another way it’s sometimes defined is people who were old enough in 1999/2000 to remember the “new millennium” and/or the Y2K scare.
Anyone younger than that (e.g., current teenagers and college students) is Gen Z- don’t blame us for their weirdness!

I'm 39, born mid dec 80. Definitely part of the xilenial cross gen of gen x and millennial. Saw someone define it as a sub cohort who grew up analog but teen years saw the transition to digital. Thought it applied. Tapes replaced by CDs, as a kid cable wasn't common but by highschool it was...cell phones became a common thing literally my frosh year of college.

Closer to the older end than the younger end

88 :)

90s baby! 1990

I hate nothing more than people who are late 80’s millenials so it’s not even arguable that they are Gen-x who hate the term. I’m not a millennial I don’t have Facebook. That’s not how it works.

For me, the college class of 2006 will always be the first millennials. They all showed up to college in Fall 2002 with cellphones in hand, when most of the rest of us were still using our dorm landlines. It was a palpable cultural break.

Not sure when Millenials end. Maybe at whatever point Facebook was supplanted by InstaTok or whatever as highschoolers’ preferred social media.

The standard definition is people born between 1981 and 1996, who today are between their mid 20’s and late 30s. But the generational lines are blurry. It seems to me that cusp people should get to decide what tribe they want to be in. I was born in 1964, which most would call the last year of the baby boom and some would call the beginning of Gen X. I’m closer the the boomer stereotype so I’ll take that one.

You got it boomer!
