Lazy tho ? Not that group. Most have bought MODEST homes & scraped & worked & saved thru college . They have a good group of solid hard working kids around them & I’m not writing that generation off They have a heavy lift however. They have been left a mess - worse than what I inherited.

Well, in for the money and world domination (according to the work coffee mug) 😉 But being blue in a deep red state is its own set of issues AND when in marketing for a public entity but has to avoid D.E.I, by law 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’m not sure the $ is worth it. However, it’s their moccasins to wear

Agree - but that is how the progeny makes $$ I’ve been learning ALL the marketing tools (not like they’ve changed much ) What’s so funny is we had to look at generationally what people were living their lives & now the progeny is that in that position and I laugh every time I hear a new label! 🤣

And I think the only reason we named generations is because people can market toward a group of people that fit into X or Y Labels… everything has to fit into a label or a box 🤦🏻‍♀️ So it can be studies but agghhh

Altho the term was coined in 1999 - I never used it once in a generational analysis - it even wasn’t considered I hate be labeled “boomers” (as I’m barely one ) but …. If the shoes fits as far as a board bush thems the breaks Thanks for the tip tho - it’s funny to me -

As a “barely boomer” thank you for that. People don’t realize that millennials are well into their 40s pushing 50 at this point The young people is Gen Z - about 26- 27 years of age at the most and they are a different breed entirely, in my experience and I am here for it! ie - MAXWELL FROST
