We’re always dividing ourselves into subgroups in order to make a connection – by geography, for example, or by generation or even astrological sign.

But as soon as we group random people together and make generalizations about them, they defy stereotypes. For instance, not all Southerners enjoy sweet tea, not all millennials like avocado toast, and not all Aries are natural-born leaders.

Yet there’s a basic truth to the connection we have with our “yearmates” – people who were born the same year.

Your yearmate will always be your age. You went to school at the same time, you have similar cultural reference points (the same TV shows, movies and songs were popular when you were the same age), and as you get older, they get older.

You might not have much else in common, but you turned into adults at the same time, you will hit (or have hit) 40 at the same time, and you will reach (or have reached) AARP age at the same time. You’re in this together as long as you live.

Here are famous adults and the year they were born. Who are your yearmates for life?
