It’s no secret that Generation X is getting older<\/a>. In 2025, Gen X (born between 1965 and 1980) are now between 45-60 years old. And, according to a 2024 study<\/a> published in The Journals of Gerontology<\/em>, Gen Xers<\/a> are living longer than Boomers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To find humor in their journeys, one aging Gen Xer posed a funny question<\/a> to his fellow Gen Xers: “What downright elderly shizz you been getting into????”<\/p>\n

She went on to explain, “I\u2019ll start. I\u2019ve had to limit alcohol to weekends this last year because there\u2019s no telling how my body will punish me for it\u2026. I might not sleep all night, I might experience heartburn on a level that I might barf, it might be nothing.. in any case I can\u2019t risk it on a weekday. So I decide to get some Valarian root tea and have that as my nightcap. I\u2019ve never liked tea, ever. Like ew no thank you to your tepid lawn water But valerian is very nice in flavor.”<\/p>\n

She noted she now has a whole collection of teas in various flavors, before quipping, “I\u2019m GenX Meemaw. It has happened. I\u2019m rocking it of course, but damn.”<\/p>\n

Her vulnerable and relatable post inspired fellow Gen Xers to share the amusing things that make them feel “elderly.” These are the funniest things Gen Xers said that will make you chuckle.<\/p>\n

“My dad reads all day and hardly leaves the house he\u2019s been like this for many years and he is happy. A year ago I started reading all day I already barely left the house but now I\u2019m finishing books in one to two days. I\u2019m physically disabled and it\u2019s gotten harder to be active. I\u2019ve turned into my father.” – mjh8212<\/p>\n

“From City Slickers, 1991: ‘The music starts to get too loud and one of your old girlfriends from high school becomes a grandmother. Your fifties you have a minor surgery. You’ll call it a procedure, but it’s a surgery. Your sixties you have a major surgery, the music is still loud but it doesn’t matter because you can’t hear it anyway. Seventies, you and the wife retire to Fort Lauderdale, you start eating dinner at two, lunch around ten, breakfast the night before. And you spend most of your time wandering around malls looking for the ultimate in soft yogurt and muttering ‘how come the kids don’t call?’ By your eighties, you’ve had a major stroke, and you end up babbling to some Jamaican nurse who your wife can’t stand but who you call mama.’ Any questions?” – these-things-happen<\/p>\n

“I wake up between 5-5:30 AM & quietly drink my coffee as I contemplate, the topic varies. I love this time of morning because it\u2019s mostly quiet, depending on the time of year, the birds might start stirring & chirping, it almost feels like it\u2019s just me in the world. Also depending on the time of year, I\u2019ll meander around my outdoor plants & check on them. If I\u2019m not able to do my morning ritual, it fucks with my mood for the rest of the day.” – SierraStar7<\/p>\n

“I just started drinking tea also and I\u2019m kind of digging it. I stare out my backdoor and look at the grass\/ plants a lot more than I should. I have identified individual squirrels. I\u2019ve contemplated the music at my funeral. Written a book in my head. I get annoyed by people my age looking so old.” – Consistent-Change386<\/a><\/p>\n

“I love being in my 50s. No more monthly curse. Kids are grown and flown and I get to focus on me for the first time in a quarter century. But also, yes, I\u2019m doing some elderly stuff. Birds! They\u2019re fascinating. CRS. Seriously. I forget anything that isn\u2019t written down AND in my phone. Can\u2019t tolerate alcohol much at all anymore, but THC beverages are great and they\u2019re low\/no calorie. Bonus for the menopausal metabolism. I wear a floppy straw hat on the beach and when walking the neighborhood, because skin cancer is real. I rarely, if ever, exceed the speed limit. I always prioritize comfort over style.” – No-Ship-6214<\/p>\n
