Give or take a few years...

Baby boomers: 1945 to 1963
Generation X: 1964 to 1982
Millennials: 1983 onwards
1983? Maggie Thatcher im confused lad. I would've thought a millennium I.e. the year 2000 is a millennium. @Chico you're after causing confusion pal. Most likely that's what your modus operandi was to begin with lol

Thought the same too. Apparently it is those that come of age around the millennium and they haven't bothered coming up with a new name for the younger ones yet.

Edit: found Generation Z starting from mid nineties but that makes the millennials the shortest period. I give up i tell thee

We're a sound generation who will work till we're 73 so that public sector workers on final salary pensions can retire at 53 to the south of France. We're the first generation in decades who will be far worse off than our parents but we diligently go about our work nonetheless. Oh and and we've seen everton win FA as we were toddlers in 95.

Nonetheless, a golden age some might call us.
I've been getting mail from my works pension scheme telling me how my actual pension is gonna be way lower than the one I was sold - Due to the company not investing in the pension for over 10 years and final salary pensions exposing the whole shambles for the Ponzi scheme that it is . I was just about old enough to go drinking when we won the FA Cup in 95.

I reckon by the time I'm allowed to retire (prob around 70) the basic state pension will only be paid to those with no private pension, or as a top up for private pensions that are less than it. I'd have probably been better off not bothering and 100% relying on the state.
 
My understanding of a millennial is anyone born from the year 2000 onwards. Am I correct?
P.S. I bleeding hate hipsters. Told several of them on the way home n they just laughed at me


A Millenial is someone who was born in the years preceding the start of the new Millennium, i.e. the early eighties to 2000. So the oldest Millenials will be mid-thirties and the youngest will be 17 or 18.

Not sure what you call children born in 2000 or later.
 
My dad left school with no qualifications and worked his way up from being a tea lad to being an Engineer, while balancing several young kids and a wife.

He made it clear to all of us that we should prioritise our education and thank goodness he did.

I worked my arse off through school to make sure I did well, even growing up in an area that wasn't exactly the best, and despite not getting real support from people with enough knowledge to help me understand what my actual options were, then left home and move to the other side of the country. Got a job, worked for a year, decided on my own that I was going to go to uni and moved even further afield. Worked two jobs while going to uni full time, without a "grant", got in lots of debt despite it. Met the missus, and worked 40 hours a week in my last year at uni while planning and paying for my own wedding and completing my dissertation.

Moved to the other side of the world, worked somewhere between 40 and 60 hours a week in my 'day job' and picked up jobs here and there outside of work hours when I could. Saved up about 70% of our income (not our disposable income, our actual income) for 5 years before we were able to jump on the property ladder.

I don't think I had it "easy" and despite being a millennial, I've not thought I should be entitled to everything because "old people". The difference between me and someone of a baby boomer generation I'd say is that I know that despite "working hard" a lot of what I got because of that was significantly down to being a white male who speaks English natively.

I think many in this thread are confusing "millennials" with "tits".
