Per the article, GenX is worth twice what Millenials are. Can you provide any evidence for your assertion?

Again we are much older so wealth over time but we had peak earnings during lost decade.

And really it’s probably late Xer who tried to buy a home after they tripled in early 2000s just as we graduated.

Gen X had twice as much as Millenials at the same age: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/12/03/precariou...

This isn't about just being older, Gen X has consistently been given a larger share of the pie than millennials.

No one forgot about Gen X, Gen X forgot to have a generational identity.

As a member of the hated “Millenial” generation, that honestly sounds nice

You're only winning as a GenXer if you bought your house at all time low interest rates. If you're still renting you'll find it exponentially harder to save purchasing power in real terms to buy a home and you're still faced with affordability slipping away due to higher interest rates. Add in job losses due to AI and it's bleak.

Millennials are 30's-40's now, they got skipped too.
