    Gen X already has a considerable amount of wealth. So, gen x.

    Gen z has the worst chance unless minimum wage doubles suddenly or something.

      In my country the gen x middle class has been absolutely destroyed by 15 years of austerity.

      The only people winning right now are the top 5% or so.

      This whole generation war is just more bullshit to distract from the ultra wealthy taking from everyone below them.

      Race, religion, sexuality, gender, generations. It’s all just to keep us divided while they take everything.

      Gen X lost a lot in 2007-2008. Many lost everything!

        Most millennials hadn’t yet entered the job market.

            Worse job market to enter than to re-enter with experience.

            Folks with degrees unable to start careers until 2, 3, 4 years after earning a degree. Debt.

            It’s pretty straightforward.

              LOL - you are comparing who you think is better off? ha ha! Sure man - you win. I wouldn’t want to be a Gen Z too!

              But you can’t say that Gen X already is wealthy or that they are better off just because they had a head start.

                No, I mean they’re retirement holdings are similar to boomers and dwarf gen Z and millennials, even when controlled for age.

                It’s not even close.

                Gen X is literally fine. If you’re gen x, and not, that’s on you. Your cohort is fine.
