I don't think Xers really talk or even think of a balance (you've got to have out-of-balance to aim for balance). Boomers are the overworked who are now tapping back off the power trying to find some balance. Xers are calling for a re-adjustment/re-allignment of the 'I live to work' approach boomers have had. Xers can look unhealthy in their work, spending days and hours shooting for a project without any balance. But they can look just as unhealthy sitting around on a beach for weeks on end. Again no balance. I like the thoughts Graeme has posted above. For what it’s worth, I think that ‘Work/Life Balance’ is a baby boomer theme.
