What age are baby boomers?
Tue, Jun 8, 2010
Every day, our staff receives questions from concerned baby boomers wondering, “How old are baby boomers?” or “What is the baby boomer age range?”. One fellow even requested our blessing to make Eddie Vedder an honorary baby boomer. For you older boomers who might not know who Eddie Vedder is, he is the very popular lead singer of the very popular rock band, Pearl Jam. And for the record, Eddie Vedder is most certainly a baby boomer, albeit a very young one. (He was born December 23, 1964)
So, we would like to officially answer all of you who wonder what age you must be to officially be a baby boomer. If you were born between 1946 and 1964, then you are officially in the baby boomer age group. To be clear, if you were born in the year 1946 or 1964, or any year in between, then you are a baby boomer. Therefore, during the year 2010, all baby boomers will be turning 46 to 64 years old! God bless us.
And for the record, we here at babyboomers.com like to think of baby boomers as a frame of mind, and less of just a birth year : )
For you visual folks, if you were born during any of the years below, than you’re a boomer!
We are a wonderful generation spanning 1946-1964 including grandparents to nex empty nesters. We make up about 1/3 of the population and make up about 76% of the economy. I love my generation and would love to devote a show devoted to us and our concerns. Please access my video and consider voting for me. Thank you.

I highly disagree with the 1946-1964 time period to identify baby boomers. There is no way in hello that I am at the same stage/age at age 47 that a person at age 64 is. I still have another 20 more years to work before retirement (yes, we have to work till age 67 now) than someone who is currently 1 year away from retirement. Secondly, I am still raising young children, something that I highly doubt a 64 year-old is doing. Yes, I do know that there some grand-parents raising their grandchildren; this is different from parents raising their own children. Thirdly, by the time my age group came around, the early baby boomers had already blown through and caused severe damage. I identify with the Generation X and want really nothing to do with the baby boomers AND their mentality. My SIL’s and BIL’s are baby boomers and trust me, our way of thinking is vastly different.
