[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most Gen Xers are not empty nesters. I'm 50 and have a 17 and 14 yo at home, and a college kid.[/quote] You're among the youngest GenXers. MOST of us are empty nesters. You're an outlier. I'm 54 and I have a 23 yo and a 21 yo. The 23 yo is launched. The 21 yo is a junior at VT. I'm an empty nester. Just because you were a grannymommy doesn't make you typical. [/quote] DP here. I’m a young Gen Xer (1980) and hardly a “grannymommy” (what a stupid word!) I had my kids at 28 and 31 and they are now 17 and 14. Non of my Gen X friends are empty nesters. Work on your math. [/quote] Assuming a median GenX age of about 53, an average age of last birth when a woman is 31, and children leaving the house at age 18, you'd expect most GenXers to have been empty nesters for four years or so. But it wouldn't be eyebrow raising for the youngest GenXers to have a 10 year old at home. [/quote]
