We’re Ken and Jim—two of the first Gen Xers to turn 60—and this milestone is pushing us to ask questions we’ve never asked before. About aging. About identity. About what we’re still becoming. In Gen X at 60 , we talk about the things we never talked about—not with each other, and maybe not even with ourselves. From ambition and adventure to friendship, legacy, lust, and eldership, we explore what it really means to grow older when you’re part of the generation raised to figure it out alone. Our professional careers have centered around communication, emotional intelligence, and learning—so we’re wired for deep conversations. But we also bring humor, perspective, and a willingness to wrestle with what’s still unfolding. This isn’t advice. It’s not nostalgia. It’s a conversation we hope you will join—as these two Gen Xers shape what 60 means for us , instead of inheriting what it meant for everyone else.

What started as a thoughtful nod to Ken turning 60 quickly turned into a surprisingly loaded conversation—because it turns out, “eldership” means very different things to each of us. For one of us, it's the recognition o
We’re the first generation arriving at 60 without a clear script for retirement . For our parents and grandparents, retirement was the endpoint. A gold watch. A pension. A La-Z-Boy recliner with a view. But for us? The l
In the ’80s and ’90s, “Dress for Success” was more than a look—it was a message. Shoulder pads, power ties, pantyhose… we suited up to be taken seriously in a world built on someone else’s rules. But did fitting in come
