[quote=AN][quote=flu]AN, you’re really an exception…Millenials are slightly better than Generation X (not much, but slightly better….) Baby boomers by far are the worst when it comes to entitlements :)[/quote]
I’m pretty a lot of us on here are exceptions to our respective generation.[/quote]
I think you and probably many in your age group are an exception, AN, and will do very well, just like I, and most people I know are exceptions to the “Baby Boomer” generalizations.
Yet, when you look at the overall stats, in all age groups, (and I know I’ve said this before) only around 5% of the population have a net worth of over a million. In fact, I just read the median net worth of most Americans is around $57K, including primary residence–really??!!
So, you have a very large percentage of the population who are too rich for assistance, yet too poor to sustain themselves long-term, (i.e. through retirement) and, IMHO that’s a real concern for our society as a whole.
I realize most of us here are in at least the top 10%, but this is a real eye-opener. Moral: As flu said–take care of your own!!
