That is what CGK President Jason Dorsey sat down with <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fast Company<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (virtually, of course!) to discuss\u2014whether or not the oldest Millennials are considering themselves middle-aged. This is going to be an increasingly hot and important topic as more Millennials turn 40(!) years old or older each year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In looking back across recent generations, the term \u201cmiddle age\u201d has been loosely defined and redefined from generation to generation. Baby Boomers generally consider it to be 45 to 60 years old, Generation X generally defines it as 45 to 55 years old, and many Millennials now see 35 to 50 years old as middle-aged. From the oldest Millennials\u2019 viewpoint\u2014many of whom are turning 40 or older this year\u2014they are already middle-aged and have been for a while now. But is being middle-aged a true life stage or more a state of mind?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It turns out that the majority of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">older<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Millennials feel that middle age has arrived or is just around the corner. They often say that turning the \u201cbig 4-0\u201d is the determining factor. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, these same Millennials see this period of their lives as lasting only a short time\u2014a decade at most. This stage often coincides with them looking around and seeing their life goals and plans through a new life stage lens. This life stage could include marriage, kids, owning a home, being in a certain physical shape, having accumulated a desired amount of wealth, advancing to a certain place in their career, or just an expected level of happiness, experiences, or contentment. Interestingly, it could include <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">none<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of those things but seeing their peers having those experiences can also create a constant reminder of their peer life stage. Not to be overlooked, older Millennials are also more likely to have dealt with the reality of losing a loved one as well as the very real physical aches and pains of getting older and feeling older.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, a good number of older Millennials are not willing to give in to this idea of being middle-aged and would not consider themselves at the median age yet! In fact, they may not even feel clear on which generation they currently fit. When asked which generation they best identified with, the research in the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fast Company<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> article revealed that 13% said \u201cyounger Millennials,&#8221; 25% said \u201cGeneration X,\u201d while only 35% of older Millennials associated themselves with the Millennial generation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here was Jason&#8217;s take on middle age and Millennials in the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fast Company<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/90650700\/when-does-middle-age-start-for-older-millennials-right-now\"> interview<\/a>,<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b><i>\u201cMiddle age to those previous generations was a very literal term\u2014the middle of your life. Millennials are not feeling half their life is over; they just don\u2019t feel as young as they used to. They ascribe that to \u2018Now, I\u2019m like my parents\u2019 age. I remember when they were this age. They no longer view themselves as the young, hip, trendsetting generation. They\u2019re not young and hip; they\u2019re in middle management.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, Millennials are dealing with the tremendous added stress the COVID-19 pandemic brought on in many aspects of their life, from homeschooling their kids and delaying important plans to losing their job. This has been a very challenging bookend to their emerging adulthood experience since many older Millennials first came into their own during the Great Recession, which often brought its own storm of delayed goals, frustrations, and disappointments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the rough start brought on by the Great Recession, many Millennials <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">finally<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> felt in 2018 and 2019 like they were gaining traction toward milestones and career goals, only to get knocked down again in 2020 by an unexpected worldwide health crisis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Combining these challenging events into a time series, including coming of age during the 9\/11 terrorist attacks, it is not a surprise that many Millennials do not view their current life stage as \u201cmid-life\u201d because they are constantly beginning again while having to delay or push back their goals. In some ways, they might say they are still just getting started!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The flip side of the middle-aged Millennial conversation is the millions of younger Millennials on the tail end of the generation who have yet to experience turning<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 30 years old.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> They definitely do not feel like or think they are middle-aged! In fact, it\u2019s the long span of ages and life stages within the Millennial generation that creates the opportunity for confusion within the generational identity because the oldest Millennials are in their early 40s while the youngest are in their mid-to-late-20s!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve heard Jason speak at a conference or have seen one of his media interviews, he theorizes that the Millennial generation may actually split into two different generations in part due to the long birth year range and the number of life stages, as well as global events and technology advancements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The combination of all these, and many more, generational influences can make \u201cnormal\u201d look and feel different between the very youngest and very oldest Millennials over a long period of time. But to confirm or dispel this theory, we will have to wait and see\u2014and keep researching. Alternatively, the generation may actually gel more closely together as they get older and move toward a more similar life stage after early adulthood.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether or not the generation ultimately comes together or splits in two, one fascinating perception is that the general population often thinks of Millennials as still 25-year-old, tech-obsessed, avocado-toast-loving, tattoo-getting \u201ckids\u201d who get their money from their parents. When, in actuality, today\u2019s 25-year-old is actually in Generation Z and may think Millennials are \u201cold\u201d (with their skinny jeans and side parts) Jason shared a bit about this in his\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fast Company<\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/90650700\/when-does-middle-age-start-for-older-millennials-right-now\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> interview<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b><i>\u201cMillennials have been the It Generation their entire adolescence to now mid-life.
