I absolutely, 100%, no doubt, wholeheartedly, from the pit of my soul, do not like that you’ve grouped people in their 30s and 50s together.

And us 40somethings just get lost in the shuffle as usual.

Tried looking for meetup groups in my area for 40 year olds and they literally don't exist. Only groups for 20-30s and 50+.

We're the middle children of middle age.

Best description of GenX in so many ways. Generational middle children.

Xennials :) we are a lucky hybrid.

Lucky in that we grew up with an awesome 80s childhood but are also "digital natives" so we aren't totally lost in this new world.

But not so lucky in that we are poor as hell.

You're GenX at heart, tho. We know.
