Jeremy(@jeremyct):Boomers are the first generation in human history to enter adulthood wealthier than their parents and leave their children poorer than themselves. Every generation before them sacrificed so the next one would have more. Boomers had more. And still took from what came after. They didn’t build the American Dream. They borrowed against it, refinanced it, extracted every dollar of equity from it, and retired comfortably on the proceeds. Gen Z is paying the mortgage on a house they’ll never own.
