Younger American argues Boomers were sold the myth that their success was purely earned.


“They’re the only generation that ended up wealthier than both their parents and their children. Because they believe it was all merit, they blame younger generations for struggling in an economy that’s completely different.
Many bought homes on ordinary wages. Today, even earning well above minimum wage isn’t enough for many young people to afford moving out.
Meanwhile, they’re sitting on a huge share of the nation’s wealth, with little of it changing hands.”
My point is simple: younger generations aren’t failing they’re playing a much harder game with far fewer opportunities.
