I said I was an early one if you check up the thread.

I wasn't particularly asking you your age. Not really that relevant to the discussion imho. The discussion was about boomers and the cohort that followed them, and the differing results for those cohorts based on their relative proportion of the population.

The fact remains that most people in my cohort (gen x) really don't like boomers very much, as they have tended to benefit from having the system tilted heavily in their favour over their entire lives whilst calling us whining and lazy.

I've done many different things in my life, including cleaning stores, writing a 250 page book about a software package, graveyard shift dispatcher at a security company, building PCs, network administration, grunt sales work (phone and rep), and running a business of my own, and yet I've never made more than about 32K in any given year despite having been almost continuously employed from the age of ten till 35 (I'm excluding the last three years as I'm at school). Somehow, I'm whining and lazy despite all that.

And that in a nutshell is why most people in my cohort don't like boomers as a class.
