Interesting indicator stat. Millennials now have 5% of wealth, at same stage

Millenials have been through a Great Recession and now a worldwide Pandemic.

They’ve also taken an extra decade to decide to become adults. I would know

I don't think you know and I think you buy into the boomer memes and stereotypes

Boomers were raised by depression era parents and taught to save

They were also taught to delay the gratification. It was better to do without

Millennials are better savers than Boomers and Gen X were at the same age

Okay, but what's up with that hat?

supertux

The hat fully deserves mocking and is a blight on my generation.

Yea look at the saving boomers did for the federal government.

Jeremy

3/4/21 11:41am

Then that makes the fact that boomer savings rate dropped from their parents

Jeremy

Boomers suck at savings. They're the original debt generation.

Says the "I want it now!" generation.

Look, you can use facts or stereotypes. Let's stick with facts.

4th and Niner

3/4/21 11:51am

Ha, so not even stereotypes anymore. Just eye rolls.

How about I use my own experience?

Division Bell

3/4/21 11:55am

Your experience doesn't mean anything. You're one data point of millions.

How about I use my Gen X intervention? Can't we all just get along?

Try Jimmy Carter interest rates (22%), unemployment (10%+), Affirmative Action

Do you know what % of population boomers represented at the time?

byuwahoo

How much is due to life expectancy extending. Boomers wealth will begin to trickle to x-ers and millennials soon...

Tokolosh

3/4/21 11:26am

And, since boomers are the wealthiest people ever, the share of wealth may not

Plato

Yep, there are plenty of things in X, millennial, and Z generation contributing to this but timelines could explain...

Boomers didn't have Starbucks

They could also pay college tuition by working a minimum wage job, so

joelvandyne

Student loans?

ochobeeguy

This. And other debt like car loans, etc

fulano

Cell phones, internet, we tend to eat out more than our parents, we travel more

wabluecoug

All of those things are relatively cheaper than decades ago.

I thought Millennials only use Uber.

ochobeeguy

question, is the 5% of wealth they currently have, worth more than the 20%

Cougarclaw

A big part of that is the inaffordability in the housing market. Take a look at

conetah

Per capita? Or total? Were there a lot more Boomers than Millennials?

gwalker

What does % of wealth even mean?
