Poor boomers and rich millenials exist.
Exceptions to every rule exist.
Exceptions. WTF Most boomers are not wealthy, but according to Reddit they’re all drinking gold flaked champagne. Are your parents rich or grandparents? Here’s a secret most prople you meet are not wealthy.
You believe wealth exists only in a binary states of either gold flaked champagne or homeless destitution? Or perhaps you are being facetious? Regardless, the simple truth remains that your average boomer is much better off than your average millenial, or zoomer.
Citation needed. Because I see older folks going through my recycling for empties every Wednesday. And I see tired exhausted old folks on the bus every day. Not saying rich boomers aren't a thing, of course. But their elder millenial kids tend to be well off too by now. In the grand scheme of things, it's a class thing, not an age thing. Always has been.
Anecdotal evidence
Okay, how about statcan.gc.ca which in 2019 reported:

The post title is boomers, this link is GenX and Millenials.
Try looking at the source.
I see the source, but I don't see how your link compares Boomers, can you point out wherebit does??
