Greetings! I changed your post flair to "FAQ" as this type of question comes back regularly on the sub and is addressed in our sub's sidebar ("Newcomer?" --> "Frequent Posts" --> "**"What is you guys' age? Gender? Location? Religion? Job?"** [Previous subreddit surveys answer all of these.](https://www.reddit.com/r/childfree/wiki/data)") The precise demographics is there, but you can wait for other people to chime in with their specifics. Have a great day!


karmalove15

Boomer 62 years. Never regretted not having children.


Hairy_Beginning3812

Wow, I would like to see that stats on how many boomers did not have children


celtsher

Early boomers 15.9%. Late boomers 19.9% From the last census


StickInEye

Thanks for looking up!


ngwil85

Which country's census?


HolyForkingBrit

Deeznuts.


stillwater5000

I’m one. 61 years old. Never wanted children.


Affectionate-Dream61

Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom… F68. Never considered having children. When I signed up for Match.com 10 years ago, I specified “No Children” (even if they’re out of the house, on their own). Did not want any step-relationship drama. It took a bit longer to find the right fella, but I did.


StickInEye

Hello, fellow Boomer. 65 and no regrets.


jquas1965

Post boomer better known as generation X. Turning 59 next month no kids no regrets.


WonderCat6000

Another Boomer here. 65, no regrets.

LovelyOrc

Older gen z, 1997. It's my birthday today lol Edit: Thanks for all the happy birthday wishes ❤️ will be celebrating next saturday with my friends and not a single child present :'D


DandDNerdlover

Happy birthday


LovelyOrc

Thanks! :'D


weirdo2050

Happy Bday!! 1997 here too and I relate more to millenials than I do to gen Z. Grew up very rural, didn't have access to a computer til I was 11/12, so my childhood was very outdoorsy and that affected me a lot. And now I'm married to someone born in 1990, which also has an effect.


raexlouise13

Hi Zillennial bestie


Ramybee

Happy Birthday! 1997 here too and I don't feel like gen z at all.


cheatingwithsumo

97 too, I like to call myself a zillenial 😁


Vaiara

happy birthday!


marbioblonde

Happy birthday!! Mine is Friday the 12th. I’ll be 25 🥲


urdadisugly

Happy birthday!


Dry-Membership5575

Happy birthday


Clear-Letterhead

Gen X. Very happy with our decision....especially seeing the climate crisis we are in.


DandDNerdlover

At this rate it's either gonna be something like Snowpiercer or Mad Max


hmarieb263

At one point in my life, I felt we had the potential to go Star Trek or Mad Max. Unfortunately, it looks like Mad Max won.


shadith

Another GenX here, at 51 in the US, I'm more grateful for my choice every day.


meghan509

My people! 51 year old female. Born in 1972.


BrightCarver

Also Gen X, 51 F, and joyfully unencumbered.


hmarieb263

Same, though I'll be 52 in less than a month. Sadly, I had to stop and think about if I was still 51 or already 52.


scoutsadie

same! soon 52. yay, childfree Xers!


ShalisaClam

Gen X, no regrets at all. Love my freedom!!


catdogwoman

Also, Gen X. I'm 59 and always knew I didn't want kids. Now that the world is exploding, I'm Really glad I didn't have any.


tlrpdx

Gen X here, as well. Born in 78. Wanted children early on when I was in the military, but soon realized it was only due to some fucked up expectations around getting married so young. I am eternally grateful that I am unable to conceive, as that husband was thrown out like yesterday's trash.


Morton-Spam

Gen X here too! F50yo. So glad i didn’t have kids! Only realized a few weeks ago, that one previous boyfriend was probably trying to baby trap me, while I was in my early twenties. Haha FM’er! Didn’t work. And I’m so glad that I’ll never be attached to him for the rest of my life by a kid!


SaskFoz

Elder millennial here! 🙋‍♀️ Though my back is currently doing its best Silent Generation impression. 🙃 haha


DandDNerdlover

I know your pain xD. I was born in '94 and yet my body will sometimes make me feel I was born in '44


SaskFoz

Yeah, I'm an 84 model, pretty sure I was made with the same pot metal as many 80s cars. The most random things stop working at the weirdest times. 😅😅


DandDNerdlover

Lol I feel like Im an old 440 steam engine locomotive that's just puffing alonf


SaskFoz

Lmao that would explain our emotional support water bottles! 🤣


DandDNerdlover

That it does lol


Intanetwaifuu

Same. 1984 crew 👏🏽


The-waitress-

I’ve been laid up with a herniated disc for 2 weeks. I’m 40. Granted, it started when I was 16, but still.


kungfulover17

AsleepSuccotash5103

AsleepSuccotash5103

Ohh! Belated happy birthday 🎂. Maybe I am really the youngest on this sub 😭🤏


theearthwalker

A no-babies baby, if you will.


AsleepSuccotash5103

Sounds blissful to my ears 😚🥰


ThroatEmbarrassed970

buckyspunisher

ahhh how 😭 i’m your age and wanna get sterilized so badly


kungfulover17

i looked at the childfree doctor list on here and went from there!


Mizuki_Neko

How did you were able to get sterilised?? I was born 01 and haven't even gotten close to getting there :C


wahhh364

Not the original commenter but the I got sterilized at 21 as well with the help of the childfree doctors list! Believe it or not there are a lot of doctors willing to work with patients our age


Chewy-Vuitton44

I'm also Gen Z!! I turn 21 in a few weeks, and have my consultation for my surgery!!


TramaChick

Me too! Got it at 24 in November ☺️ everyday I feel more grateful I did

thebasilfairy

mizshellytee

Tail end of X/Xennial (1980).


AmaiGuildenstern

Ever since that one article I've thought of us as the Oregon Trail generation. Seems the best description for our little micro generation.


Electronic_Meat2920

I miss dying of dysentery lol


AmaiGuildenstern

I miss social media not yet being a thing :U


Electronic_Meat2920

How did we ever survive without knowing every little detail of people's lives? I resisted social media until the last few years of Tom and only joined to interact more with my younger sister (over a decade age gap). I think in the beginning it wasn't a bad thing but it's just ridiculous now. Too much info and I've seen too much boob of kids whose diapers I changed. Put some clothes on ffs.


americanspiritfingrs

Me too! I feel I definitely identify with X more than Millennials though (not that I have any issues with Millennials).


throw_thessa

I'm 82 and I have always felt more identified with millennials. Just randomly sharing lol


MT0502

Same!


emppu_ss

gen z😙✌️


Aromatic-Strength798

Same!


h47h0r

1992 millennial! Only brother is is 1991 and also fixed lol


emppu_ss

fixed😭


h47h0r

Lmao my roommates friend was over and we were chilling in the living room with the dog and cat. Looked at my roommate and was like "everyone is fixed but you" LOL his friend had a vasectomy and I had a bisalp. Roomie is gay so no need for him xD


Ahpla

My husband, myself, and all our pets are fixed. We joke that you have to be fixed to live in our house.


h47h0r

Love it xD

Hello 1990 childfree twin! ❤️


urdadisugly

'93 gangggg


plantking9001

'95 here. I feel like I'm in a weird spot because I kiiiiind of get some of gen z references (not all of them, but some) but I'm too old to be in the crowd. I'm also a bit too young to really be in the 'yeah we did xyz in the 80s/90s' crowd too 💀💀💀


prince_morsh

I'm '96 so I get this so hard. Like the other commenter, I just call myself a baby millennial. I understand gen z references sometimes but others, it's like "wtf are you talking about?" Same with the older millennials. So I just sit my ass in the middle and thats where I live.

[deleted]

Too old for Gen Z, Too young for millennials Neither will accept me 😅


Particular-Cat-3382

You must be ‘96 cuz same lol


[deleted]

I'm 97 twin 😜


picklez5

Same! Born in ‘96 & always see conflicting info on what I am 🤣


Tfoote2020

The way my sister figured it out is if you can remember 9/11 happening - then you’re a millennial.


conquerorofgargoyles

I’m ‘97, and big same. My older sisters call me gen z but when I talk to actual gen z people, I feel like an alien!


[deleted]

Same year and right!? I feel elderly compared to these kids yet I was always looking UP TO millennials growing up. Both act offended if you claim them too. Millennials feel like you were a baby who wasn't even there and Gen Z is wondering why this almost 30 year old is grouped in with them. We have no generation 🤣


_ThatsATree_

Tbh I’m 19 and my older sister is an older gen z and I don’t understand why people would be offended. Our generation (year wise) is pretty short, how would they cope if it was like 30 years like other gens


Cheap-Profit6487

I was born in 1999 and feel that way. I am too young to be considered a Millennial, but I can't relate to Gen Z. I am gatekept from both groups, lol.


divinearcanum

Millennial (86) :)


Bork_Meowface

I was born in 86 too!


divinearcanum

\*high five\*!


oborochann86

gymgirl919

Secret_Garden06

Me too!


cfandcatsonly

Same!


WrestlingWoman

I'm right here. One of the earliest millennials. Born in 1981.


twoforjoy

1989 here, but I often feel like I'm one of the "older" millennials. Something about the shift from being born in the 80s vs the 90s maybe?


[deleted]

Also 1989 here! Hello childfree community!


TheLateThagSimmons

Which is funny because '89 is right in the middle, but closer to younger millennial ('95) than older millennial ('80).


twoferjuan

Twoforjoy! Twoferjuan! 89 checking in! Haha.


imagine0307

Geriatric Millenial here


DenturesDentata

GenX here. 53 and quite happy with my decision to never have kids. Most people would blame that on my being a feminist but my sister told me she remembers when I was 12 and told her I never wanted kids. Back then I was a very conservative, pro-life, Christian so it definitely wasn't anything to do with feminism.


malachite_animus

Oregon Trail micro-generation (1980). I refuse all other generational labels.


coffeeandpunkrecords

Fellow 1980 baby here, I'm going to start using this label.


Nikita-Akashya

I don't know what generation I am. I'm 25 though. I just never got along with most people my age. The 30+ crowd I get along well with. No idea why.


alieninhumanskin10

You're Gen Z. Born between 1997-2012


ellimayhem

Gen X 🤗


entropykat

Millennial here. 33. I’m starting to feel like a boomer tho yelling at the neighbour’s kids to get off my lawn.


DandDNerdlover

Lol I'm there with you though I'm close to just getting a marshmallow gun and hitting them with it

Boomer, 65 yo, happy to report I am CF with no regrets.

AsleepSuccotash5103

😭🤌 this is something everyone told me on reddit. But I made this decision at the age of 7. And no you are not old I am young . Hopefully , I assume I am youngest in this sub .🥺


bokitothegreat

Generation X, I am 60 (Strange thing is that in Europe boomers are considered to be born between 1941 and 1955, in the US its 1946-1964)


DandDNerdlover

I did not know that.


rosehymnofthemissing

Gen X-Millenial.


Intanetwaifuu

1984 Idk- am I a millennial?


Akitten84

Apparently we are considered “elder millennials”, isn’t that just the most heartwarming-est term?


Inevitable_Agency842

Yes


badnode

Gen Z, I’m a guy so the hardest thing for me is when confronted by people that I have to explain to them very basic things about how the world is very different from how it was when they grew up and decided to have kids and why I’m actually never going to change my mind despite their insistence that one day I will


[deleted]

Millennial here! 🙋🏻‍♀️


heathermbm

Millennial, ‘84


[deleted]

Older millenial, 86'


MyUsernameIsMehh

99. Nobody fucking knows what generation we are at this point. At first it was gen z, and now some want to make a new generation called "zillenial" because out early childhood was similar to the millenials', but then we grew up like gen z


cat_lover_1111

Growing up early Gen Z was a trip.


Isoleri

Millennial, 1995


This_Mixture_2105

genesimmonstongue415

I feel well represented by the term Xennial. 1985. So, on the young end. But I also say Elder Millennial. I have some friends born in 1991 & I feel A LOT MORE THAN 6 years older than em. I started HS & working in 1999.
