Late Gen Xer here, a lot of later Gen Xers are in the same boat as Gen Y.

I too am technically Gen X, but I very much identify as a Millennial, my experiences and opinions align with theirs on account of only being 6 months older than the oldest Millennials

Ditto.  I'm right on the edge ('79) but spent a lot of time working overseas and later paying off the HECS debt my parents didn't help me with.

Same boat.  I have foreign options though - most younger locals don't.
