um, 84 is an early millennial, and hardly the penultimate year of millennials. Seemed like an odd statement on this podcast – especially since it wasn’t corrected – from Wikipedia:
Millennials, also known as Generation Y, are the cohort of people following Generation X. Researchers and popular media use the early 1980s as starting birth years and the mid-1990s to early 2000s as ending birth years, with 1981 to 1996 a widely accepted defining range for the generation. According to Pew Research, the Millennials will surpass the Baby Boomers in numbers in the U.S. in 2019, with an anticipated 72 million Boomers and 73 million Millennials.
It was poorly worded, but I did understand him to mean penultimate in the sense of counting backwards toward the beginning of the millennial birth years.
Jack writes for a living. He doesn’t need the advice to set aside time every day to write. But other young people do need it.
