Somehow this is harder to believe than that I personally turn 50 in 7 years.

No pics⌠But I am happy to report that my husband hauled off a giveaway pile this morning and that the pile only sat on our back porch for a day before he did so!
I also immediately purged a pair of shoes that I destroyed by walking on the backs of them as soon as I decided that the clearance Kiziks I just bought are keepers.

I turn 50 in a little over 2 years 
(Although, Iâm not a Millennial, I am a young Gen X.)

My sister is less than 5 years older than me but she is STRONG Gen X and I identify as elder millennial. (Sheâs a bicentennial baby and I was born in '81, so I am really the very oldest millennial some people my age identify as Gen X or Xillennial.)

So, this scared me because first I parsed it as âall of the 80s will be 50+ years agoâ but itâs more of a â50 years ago will fall in the 80sâ which will in fact be true for 2030-2040. Itâs not for 16 years yet that all of the 80s will be 50 years in the past.
Anyway, my personal headcanon is that 20s are âyoung adultâ 30s are âprime yearsâ and 40s-50s are âmiddle ageâ and if thatâs not technically true,

I think the more generations are added, the less weâre going to split millennials out into separate camps

and I still wonât fit into any of them
or is that the most late Xâer claim possible? Iâm so X, I donât even fit in with the Xers.
My parents were born in the early 40s, so likewise donât really fit in with the boomers or the silent generation.

Iâm not sure, I think generally itâs considered boomers end ~1965 and Gen X end ~ 1980. My sense is that itâs sort of tied to technology and what was available to you, but also what you were exposed to (exposure might make you feel more or less affinity). As a younger Xer I sort of grew up as the technology was developing⌠We learned to âprogramâ in grade school in BASIC on Apple 2c and 2e. I was very lucky in that my mother as a teacher could get a huge discount on a computer and we had an Apple 2GS when I was in middle/high school (we would NOT have been able to afford it otherwise). Cable was a new thing when I was a kid. The internet was new, though it was mostly Geocities and AOL and Live Journal and IRC chat (I spent so much time in IRC chat in college.) Google wasnât a thing, Wikipedia wasnât a thing, YOUTUBE wasnât a thing, Facebook wasnât a thing, let alone all the later iterations! Cell phones were not widely available and affordable until after I graduated college, and there were dumb flip phones. So although we grew with tech and we are pretty fluent with it and can adapt (not necessarily so for, say, a lot of boomers (see: my parents)) it didnât dominate our lives. For later generations it was so much more mature. At least it seems to me.
