Article assumes Boomers won’t spend it all before they die.
https://www.theguardian.com/money/2024/feb/28/millennials-richest-generation-wealth-property
All that money in ticky-tack mcmansions that they’ll never sell.
Wealth isn’t wealth if it’s paper only.
Capitalist propaganda
Highest mean wealth sure, but median…
Can gen x get it before the millennials blow it on avocado toast and Netflix please?
No fuck off gen x already blew theirs on cocaine and dotcom stocks
I never had money for cocaine or stocks.
I’m Gen X and I’ve always been poor.
My parents weren’t doing much better, either.
I don’t think I can ever retire. I’ll be one of those people that gets evicted from a nursing home
Yes we are making more but compare that shit to cost of living and what we earn. It’s still fuckin trash. It’s like saying the Germans were billionaires during hyperinflation.
Lol please, these people fear death more than anything, they exist wholely within the material. They will spend every last time breathing one more wretched breath. I make a dime, while my boomer and X bosses make millions. Its not even a dollar anymore, I am straight up shafted eith no recourse but to quit and become even more poor.
The writer should maybe go and visit some nursing homes. They’ll find a fuckload of poor old people that are most definitely not wealthy.
Weird it doesn’t feel like it.
It’s the cruelest clickbait I’ve seen in a long time.
Richest in variety of debt, maybe
Just as a feature of inflation the numbers that represent the wealth held by millenials will almost certainly eclipse that held by previous generations. But also thanks to inflation the actual value change represented by that larger number is sweet FA. Everything is just more expensive.
This article assumes my parents are rich. I don’t have new money and I’m not receiving old money.
Jesus fucking christ these people are out of thouch
What the actual fuck
Isn’t this is all technically attributed to people like Mark Zuckerberg, who on his own accounts for 2% of all millennial wealth?
The ultra wealthy keep skewing the fucking “average” numbers ever higher until the “average” is way higher than what over half of citizens actually have.
