I thought it would be higher actually given all the retirement savings, years of compounding, and also real estate, but a surprisingly large percentage of boomers are poor/poverty line . A lot of rich younger people with start-ups, tech jobs, investing, white collar work etc. too.


Good news: they will all die soon.
