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.

Okay, how about statcan.gc.ca which in 2019 reported:

"Canadian millennials had higher incomes and assets than young Gen-Xers at the same age. However, they were also more leveraged, as their debt to after-tax income levels surpassed 200%."
