The driving reason for this disparity is the millennial penchant for delaying traditional adult milestones. As a group, they are prone to choose short-term happiness and independence over long-term wealth accumulation. Now, maybe millennials are leading more fulfilling lives than their parents and grandparents, and maybe not. Comparing themselves economically to generations that embraced a different set of priorities at the same age, and then wondering why the results are different, however, is disingenuous.The idea is that the boomers have the wisdom to work the kids to their early grave.
My words of wisdom to the millennials is avoid taxes and demand a better deal.
The author seems to forget, boomer are currently getting the same amenities as the millennials, except they will be retiring soon and don't have to pay for all the amenities. An the cost is high, interest on 100% of GDP just to the federal government alone.
