Is 60 the new 30?
A recent article proclaimed that 60 is the new 30.

As a Gen Xer who is in her 30s, I have to say this "new 30" thing is starting to get a little old. If 60 is indeed the new 30, then that makes me 6 years old right now.
I think this idea is something that adds to the conflict between Boomers and Xers. It seems hard for Xers to really understand it, because getting old really isn't a big issue for them. At the same time, it seems hard for Boomers to understand why 30-somethings don't see 60-year-old Boomers as their contemporaries.
Therefore, I am declaring that 30 is the new 30 and 60 is the new 60. And I'm asking everyone to just accept their age and move on.
