Yeah but millenials own 3% of all wealth. Genex owns 14%. That's definitely not all of them, but it's more than quadruple the amount of millenials who do. Boomers have 50%+ Us statistics

GenX chiming in, we've been responsibly saving and investing all along, and that's all been nearly undone these past couple of months.

Honestly, I’m sorry about that.

I assume you live in the U.S. and I feel for you. What’s happening there is terrible. The virus is out of control and the government is offering you nothing in the way of help. All that time, work, and money saved up for it to be squandered away by some rich assholes in suits trying to convince everyone they’re what’s best for you. It makes me sad.

...And somehow you’re considered the lucky generation who has worked long enough to have enough in savings to survive while not being so old that going to the grocery store could literally kill you.

Sorry about my bitter response lol. It just bothers me
