Newsweek says GenZ and Millennials are wealthier than we were at the same age.

I was surprised by this article. I think the general impression is that they have it much worse than we did. Somebody needs to let them know. https://www.newsweek.com/millennials-gen-z-wealthier-previous-generation-same-stage-1863904

Edit: Because American media has totally destroyed all credibility, people discredit the story because it’s from Newsweek. So here’s the original source. https://economistwritingeveryday.com/2024/01/24/young-people-have-a-lot-more-wealth-than-we-thought/#more-14238

Is this guy credible? IDK. He’s an economics professor at what sounds like a regional state college. Make of that what you will. He’s been published in respected journals, his reasoning is interesting, his data sources are credible, his articles don’t seem political (they tend to have the perspective that economically things are actually a little better than the media tells us and everyone thinks - so that’s probably a bit of a center/left bias).

Oh! And he already adjusted the data for inflation!
