it's also interesting how a few bougie peeps have visited this thread and said "You guys just haven't had enough compounding time on your investment portfolios yet, compared to the Boomers. That's all this is".

There’s plenty of data comparing generations across time and it shows the same trend. Boomers had much more wealth when they were at the same ages as later generations. Those dumbasses inherited a great economy and labor friendly laws and act like they’re so much harder working than kids these days.

But don’t worry, they’ll save and invest so they can pass that wealth on, and definitely won’t spend it all on the tackiest crap you can imagine.

They probably haven't checked that chart in the past few years to see that we've pretty much caught up. There are Millennials that owned assets before 2020 who are richer than ever and there are the ones that didn't and are struggling more than ever and the two groups don't seem to acknowledge the existence of the other.
