I am the very start of Gen X, born in 65. I actually have more affinity towards millennials than I do GenX, and have almost no affinity to baby boomers (nothing personal). My sisters are very young baby boomers and as much as I love them, I'm more apt to hang out with their (millennial) kids, lol. I am not exactly sure why that is.
Kind of off-topic, but when I first came here, I stayed in an Airbnb while looking for a house in the Ocala area. I got completely lured in by all the amenities and ended up buying a place here. In hindsight though, I miss living in a neighborhood with a more diverse age demographic. I also think another factor is that everyone here is on permanent vacation while I am still working full-time (remotely). It's a mindset that I have nothing in common with and I'm not even sure I ever will.
The villages is an amazing place but I am increasingly thinking it's not really for me.
I know I am probably an outlier here.
