There has to be poor people and rich people in a capitalistic market. If everyone was middle class, we call that Communism. Which class you belong to has a lot to do with your choices in life. Being born into the right family certainly makes things easier, but does not preclude you from climbing the ladder. If climbing the ladder was easy, you could call that going up the economic elevator. I know lots of broke millennials and one thing I see in common with all of them. They don’t want to drive cheap used cars until they break down, they want new gadgets all the time, they want to go on vacation yearly, they want a thriving social life, and they constantly complain about not having enough work life balance.

*My parents were the pre-boomers, growing up during the Depression and having their lives disrupted by WWII.* After they died, we found that one of the first things both did (separately) when life settle down after the war was pay off a modest whole-life insurance. If they died, they did not want their parents to have to cover the costs. Married, they lived frugally to be able to afford a home. They still had the same TV and refrigerator when I went off to college that they had when I was seven. They drove one car until the floorboards rusted out. *Contrast that to the young adults I regularly meet, including retail clerks earning a pittance.* A large portion of their income goes for consumables they don't need and that'll be worth nil in a few years. In addition to new cars, they stay up-to-date on their smartphones and have a $300 Apple Watch that doesn't offer them any more benefit than a $20 Casio.

If millennials sell a house and buy a new one how will that do anything to housing supply other than neutralize it. It's more likely that anyone inheriting a house is going to live in it and save money to buy a new house or rent it out since selling will incur capital gains taxes and commission/transfer fees plus any new house will have a higher property tax, higher interest rates and higher insurance rates. Also the majority of boomers don't own homes and most that do will probably use the equity to fund their later years cause healthcare/nursing homes is crazy expensive.
@rathelmmc31945 ай бұрын
I don't think that's accurate. Pretty certain over 70% of Baby Boomers own homes, and they own twice as many 3+ bedroom homes as Millennials with children. As those houses are transferred, you'd have to make an argument that Millennials actually want to be landlords (I think most don't). Personally I think housing is going to be liquidated as its transferred to the next generation causing prices to come down in real terms back to the 3:1 norm.

I think you're completely undervaluing the fact that asset prices are highly overinflated.

I would bet money that the 2030s to about the 2050s will create some of the lowest returns in real that the US has ever seen.

All good advice here. I want to note that "Roth" isn't a type of account, but a type of after-tax money in an account. You can invest Roth money into your employer sponsored 401k and enjoy some of the benefits of the Roth IRA (Individual Retirement Account - which has annual maximum contribution limits $7,000 for 2024). It should also be noted that high earners above a specific amount cannot contribute to a Roth IRA, only a standard pre-tax IRA (meaning you pay ordinary income taxes on the whole balance when you withdraw). Ideally you will open multiple different accounts when you start saving money hand over fist for retirement.

Great video, but gotta stop spreading the myth that there’s a nationwide housing shortage. There are dozens of states that have an over-supply of housing that can be had for under $200k in great condition. Search for any city in: Iowa, Virginia, Alabama, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, etc … hundreds of thousands of affordable houses, and affordable in relation to the local economies. The states with exploded housing markets are resort states that were previously considered “flyover country” until the outdoor fad went on high. Unexpected exponential growth in those states fueled a fundamental price increase due to sharp increase in demand with a lower relative supply. Really, though … the 1 million people who shoved themselves into states like Colorado in the last five years blew the top off that market, despite having no tie to the state before they decided they wanted to pretend to live the Colorado lifestyle. Help to stop the spread of misinformation about there being a housing shortage … there isn’t one. It’s an identity crisis, not a housing supply crisis. I guarantee it. 👊

TL:DR - Generational labels gets made up as we go along. It's not worth thinking too much about. Generation labeling isn't an exact science. You have differences between various groups and "experts" on where the year you were born in sits for identifying you as a member of a generation. As an example, people born between '77 and '83 are sometimes called Xennials because of that variance and how people in born in that range share traits between GenX and the Millennials. Meaning that even if someone born in '79 is clearly GenX by the majority of people who classify generations, they're so far to the end of GenX that they won't identify with everything that makes GenX, GenX in terms of life experiences. They share some things with the oldest Millennials, but are too far removed from most Millennials as a hole that they won't identify with everything that makes a Millennial a Millennial for life experiences. They're caught in between generations. The youngest of the Great Generation before the boomers can have the oldest GenX kids. The youngest boomers can have Xennials/the oldest Millennial kids. The youngest GenX can have GenZ kids and so on. All roughly speaking on who says where the years sit for defining a generation. The lack of a concrete universal standard for this keeps the confusing mess going.

Regardless of medical and technological advances. With only 3 stages; childhood from ages 0-20, adulthood from 20-40, and seniorhood from 40-60. Without awkward stages of teenage and middle-aged years. Also, what if every Generation was born at the start of an even-number decade? While always on January 1st. Like Baby Boomers in the year 1940, Gen Xers in 1960, Millennials in 1980, and Gen Zs in 2000. Also, what if new inventions/pop-cultures always came out at the same time as a newly-born Gen(and always aiming towards them), like video games/Pokemon in 1980 for Millennials and Internet/Minecraft in 2000 for Gen Zs?

Just for the record, you don't tax your way to wealth equality. All that does is scare the rich people away and it turns out your country suffers if there is not as much wealth to keep the economy churning. The concept of wealth equality has never existed on planet earth, there are always some at the top (usually the chief, king, emperor, generalissimo, party leader and their associates) and some (or most) at the bottom. Our system is painted as messed up with an insane wealth gap, but in reality this is the wealthiest and most fair humanity has ever been in the macro context. In the micro context there is definitely more to improve, but it is short sighted philosophy to keep painting class warfare as some kind of new and unique concept only relevant to us.

That frugality followed them for several years after their repatriation as they saved and made wise career choices. Now they're comfortable with an income far higher than we ever earned but my daughter points out considering inflation it's pretty comparable to what we earned at their age (she's pretty smart). They've bought a house, blessed us with a grandchild and find their continued frugality leaves them with the wherewithal to invest for the future. We're proud parents as they've taken it upon themselves to take on and meet the rigors of becoming responsible adults without seeking out perceived barriers to success.

The "wealth" that us boomers have is just a product of fiat money, Keynesian economics, and limits on land use via zoning, i.e. a generational Ponzi scheme. You need to look at actual "non-monetary" economic choices to succeed despite these current circumstances. Primarily, to stop open ended spending on medical care for folks that are dying, to do away with our modern forms of entailment commonly called zoning laws, to do away with our modern forms of guilds (University degrees, licensing requirements), to kill off the idea of "the deflationary spiral" and get back to honest money, to get away from protecting investors (which essentially means that the wealthy get the first cut on new investments).
