Confused About Years of Gen-X, Gen-Y, Boomers?

THE 'Y' CHROMOSOME
  
Which era do YOU belong to?  People often struggle to remember the eras that are covered by the various designations for past generations. This should clear things up. At least for the Y Generation.

THE 'Y' CHROMOSOME

People born before 1946 are called - The Greatest Generation.

People born between 1946 and 1964 are called - The Baby Boomers.

People born between 1965 and 1979 are called - Generation X.

And people born between 1980 and 2010 are called -Generation Y.

Why do we call the last group -Generation Y ?


Y should I get a job?

Y should I leave home and find my own place?

Y should I get a car when I can borrow yours?

Y should I clean my room?

Y should I wash and iron my own clothes?

Y should I buy any food?

Everything is all clear for you now, right?

If you or your Y-generation friends or family members are searching for homes/apartments to buy or rent in South Orange County, CA send them to my huge new Orange County real estate website. There they can search by city, neighborhood, school district and 98 other parameters. For additional help, call or email me from there.
