Surprise! Thing with small denominator has large percentage growth vs thing with large denominator /s

> Granted, those under 40 are still the poorest of the generations.

Yep, this title seems to be cherry-picked to sound positive despite not actually changing much.

As usual, GenX gets left out. Boomers got rich. Now Millenials. Good thing we don’t care… #slackergeneration

No one forgot about Gen X, Gen X forgot to have a generational identity.

As a member of the hated “Millenial” generation, that honestly sounds nice

Per the article, GenX is worth twice what Millenials are. Can you provide any evidence for your assertion?

Again we are much older so wealth over time but we had peak earnings during lost decade.
