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.

“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%.
