I've noticed that there are a lot of very young folks on here that are engaged with the program, and i love that and I'm thankful for them, however, I have not found many
Baby Boomers that are engaged with posting , or just encouraging others. If you see this post and you are a baby boomer I would love to hear from you and/or be your friend. I am also looking for other serious MFP friends. I love this site!

    1954- On the cusp between Baby Boomers and Generation Jones.

    A baby boomer is a person who was born during the demographic Post-World War II baby boom.

    Generation Jones is a term coined by Jonathan Pontell to describe the generation of people born between 1954 and 1965 The term is used primarily in English-speaking countries.

    The name “Generation Jones” has several connotations, including a large anonymous generation, a “keeping up with the Joneses” competitiveness and the slang word "jones" or “jonesing”, meaning a yearning or craving. It is said that Jonesers were given huge expectations as children in the 1960s, and then confronted with a different reality as they came of age in the 1970s and 1980s, leaving them with a certain unrequited, jonesing quality.
