## People born in 1965 are Generation X, which Pew Research Center dates from 1965 to 1980.

1965 is the 1st of the 16 birth years in that span. The range comes from [Pew Research Center](https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2019/01/17/where-millennials-end-and-generation-z-begins/).

_Figure: The birth years 1930 to 2025 in five bands: before 1946, Baby Boomers 1946 to 1964, Generation X 1965 to 1980, Millennials 1981 to 1996, and Generation Z from 1997. 1965 is marked in the Gen X band._

## Here are the years in which someone born in 1965 reaches each milestone age.

A birthday in 1965 plus the age gives the year, and the birthday itself decides whether it is the earlier or the later of two years where the table shows both.

## Here are four questions about being born in 1965, answered.

How old am I if I was born in 1965?

In 2026 you are 61 if your birthday has already passed this year and 60 if it has not. Today is Monday, October 26, 2026, counted in US Eastern time, so a birthday on or before October 26 has passed (you are 61) and one from October 27 on is still to come (you are 60).

How old will I be on December 31, 2026 if I was born in 1965?

You will be 61. Every birthday of 2026 has happened by December 31, so everyone born in 1965 is 61 on the last day of 2026, and 62 on December 31, 2027.

What year was I born if I am 61 in 2026?

You were born in 1965 if your birthday has already passed this year, or in 1964 if it has not come round yet. 2026 minus 1965 is 61, and someone born in 1964 is still 61 until their birthday this year.

When can I get full Social Security retirement benefits if I was born in 1965?

The SSA table gives a full retirement age of 67 for people born in 1965, which you reach in 2032. The earliest age retirement benefits can start is 62, which you reach in 2027.
