A few reddit threads 
Here are the doomers at lostgeneration :anticommunists:
They will have the most shells and beads in the wasteland, yes.
Bottle caps
Yes because millennials will be the bosses and we won't frick around with quality of life. Ours has been shit for years. We want better for them

Millennials/gen z is on track or ahead in terms of income, net worth, and homeownership relative to where previous generations were at the same age.
Income:
Net worth:
Homeownership:
Why is this at odds with online perception? I think it's a combination of:
1. People who spend a lot of time on Reddit
are uniquely miserable/losers.
2. You notice your boomer parents are, in absolute terms, much better off than you are (you'll catch up, you just haven't yet) and our brains are bad at doing this age adjustment.
3. Social media shows us how the top 0.01% is doing and we compare ourselves to them.

Millennials and Gen Z are also completely ridiculous in their spending habits.
The keeping up with the Joneses habit of boomers is super easy to make fun of because it's super obvious shit like buying a 6 person hot tub because your neighbor bought a 4 person hot tub, but a ton of them were doing shit like clipping coupons for all of their generic value brand groceries and they thought taking 2 days off work for a 4 day weekend vacation at the water park the next town over was an extravagant twice a year only splurge. Meanwhile you have a bunch of Zoomers think they're being thrifty by ordering two meals at once on Door Dash so they only pay the $15 in delivery fees once a day instead of twice a day and buying shit like designer t shirts with the justification of “just because I'm broke doesn't mean I don't deserve nice things.”

Because boomers didn't have shit in their twenties?
Zoomers in their twenties don't compare their spending to boomers in their twenties, they compare it to boomers in their 50s and 60s.

No, they drank too much leaded water and breathed too much lead gas fumes when they were babies.

I got it from someone else but the underlying data is from the survey of consumer finances. It's released by the Fed from time to time.

Shit is more nuanced. How does owing 800,000 on a mortgage in 2020 compare to 5,000 in 1970?
