In my case I'm a lot wealthier at 68 y/o than my 26 y/o son who graduated university in '19.
I find that to quite puzzling how that could be but that's the way it is.
Fortunately he doesn't seem to hold it against me.
In today's Bizzarro world what you posted is being written about.
It should be obvious without words but here ya go...boomers are wealthier than millennials and that's a problem.
The authors seem to have a problem identifying why boomers are wealthier than millennials.
Ya think maybe 30-40 year difference of working and saving might play a part ?

Did you know that millennials are the least wealthy generation, despite the fact that they currently represent the largest group in the U.S. workforce? Business Insider reports that boomers are 10 times wealthier than millennials. So what gives? We’re about to investigate why the millennial vs. boomer generational wealth gap is so drastic, and what factors have contributed to it.
If so, I will happily retract, get my sarcasm/irony meter recalibrated, and work on detecting funny when no emojis are present.
But in my defense, I see so much glaring stupid on this forum daily, it throws off my internal sensing mechanisms.
My own personal opinion? Sometimes I feel like the emojis take away some of the funniness.
I'm kind of like a dry humor, sarcastic guy, so in real life I sometimes have to try real hard to keep a straight face when I say some of the things I say. I hate is when a smirk squeaks its way out, ruining an otherwise perfect comeback. So as much as some people on here need the aid of an emoji, it often seems very counterintuitive to me to put one in the post.
From the OP's link...comparison of wealth between millennials and boomers:
No one in the millennial age range has much wealth, in other words, while white boomers remain the wealthiest people in America by leaps and bounds
And when we croak, our kids will benefit.
