My parents were the Silent Generation, right before the Boomers.

I identify with them.  They were also a small generation—self-sufficient, independent and non-whiners.  [/quote]

My husband born in 1971, me in 1970, were just saying the same thing.  Our parents were silent generation born between 1941-1943 and it makes sense their kids were Gen X as the generations were both small and characterized as independent and self-sufficient.

The Silent Generation helped shape 20th century pop culture, with pioneering rock musicians, iconic filmmakers, television legends, beat poets, gonzo journalists and groundbreaking political satirists.

Generation X is independent, resourceful, and self-sufficient. They value freedom and responsibility in the workplace.[b] Many in this generation display a casual disdain for authority and structured work hours. They dislike being micro-managed and embrace a hands-off management philosophy.[/b]

Hell yea— I work from home and my husband is an independent consultant.

My kids are Gen Y.  They are fairly cynical/practical.  The 14-year old started his own lawn business to make $.  They are less about social media than their 20-something millennial cousins.[/quote]

I thought the silent generation were born in the 30s- too young to fight in WWII, but old enough to fight in Korea. I think those born in 1941-43 were too young to fight in Korea.
