The youngest Baby Boomer was born in 1964, and turns 60 this year.
AJ, according to Wikipedia was born in 1974, and will turn 50 this year. Childhood in late 70s, through the 80s is peak Gen X.
Despite Gen-X being an apparent blip between the well-monied and huge white boomer monolith and the debt-burdened and overeducated diversified millennials, there seems to be a huge gulf between Gen-X men* who bought property before the late Clinton - early Blair era and those who left university after the dot.com crash, 9/11 and perhaps the 2008 crash.
I am of the latter half of Gen-X and my peers who are a little older or who bought property instead of going to university are close to retirement. They were forming families like boomers while I was learning PUA. So I see myself closer to the over-educated millennial who has experienced UK wage stagnation since the 2008 crash.
AJ seems to be well and truly a boomer Gen-Xer - maybe the Texas oil thing has allowed boomer prosperity and "Semitephilia" to linger for longer.
*I mention Gen-X men as Gen-X women may have had a better start to their careers because boomer men passed diversity laws and preferred to hire and promote younger women to work with them.
