    Boomers and gen X are the ones not able to retire. Most of the younger generations have that ability.

        They haven’t saved for retirement and grew up in an Era with with work offering pensions as rare.

        Younger generations have greater growth and more savings across the board.

          Holy fuck.

          Generational wealth gap is an undisputed economic reality, especially when comparing any generation to boomers. Boomers have acquired more wealth by ever age benchmark than any generation to ever exist.

          And pensions were very common decades ago. Now they’re mostly gone:

          Your brain is broken. You need to spend more time reading, and less time commenting for a long time.

            Trash data. That data conflate the average grandpa with Billionaire CEOs.

              Data isn’t trash just because you say it is.

              Why are you talking trash instead of delivering? This is the best way to learn something new for bystanders like me and you give up…

          I fully expect a lot of the younger generations to say “fuck it” and just live in poverty instead.

          I’m already seeing this attitude in my adult son and his friends and it’s getting increasing hard to motivate him when he sees no light at the end of the tunnel to work for.
