80% of us wealth is inherited. Stop believing the playing field is ever or ever will be level.
Could it be that boomers have been saving for 30 to 40 more years. I thought that boomers whined alot but nothing compared to young-uns
DAVE RAMSEY SHOW
Boomer: Hi, Dave I'm worried about retirement, I only have 750k in my Roth, a paid home and I'm calling because I still owe $25k on my vacation home
Dave: Rice and beans till we get this paid off, I think you can pull thru but we gotta cancel eating out for now
People are looking at socialism favorably because socialism is actively filling America’s potholes, while democrat and republican capitalists are filling Israel’s potholes. I believe in capitalism through and through, but there’s no denying that the two party system has failed America absolutely and completely.
Hobbies are a sign the population are numbing themselves from Trump’s disastrous economy
25 Years old and no money saved? I had to start saving when i was already 10 years old! with 18 i already had 8 years of experience in savings!
Lol guys. There flush on paper. Wait untill the they find out there house isnt worth ¼ of what the system says it is when they cant sell it
I thought the economy was Bigly and Beautiful? 😂 🤡 now even fox business cant lie anymore. The "K shaped economy" was supposedly a left wing democrat hoax, just like everything else. 😂
Boomers be boomin. We are FU cK eD
I love it. Fox News broadcasters all make over a million a year, union, and tell us the economy is great, yeah, for them!!!!!!
Trump ….billions for him, pennies for US
Inequality for millennial too
Wow…. starting with the crazy eyes! What's with that?
Ummm, ridiculous airline prices are the cause. Not peoples wallets. I tried to book Disney a couple of months ago for a December trip and tickets were almost a thousand each. I scrapped it. Not because we are poor. It was just ridiculous.
At least you guys understand why the communist will win. Boomer generation failed this country
The snake is eating its tail right now. Give it time. It’ll get to the rest of itself. The interest on the more than $40 trillion dollars of debt will eventually consume the entire snake. 🐍
People are totally broke. Everyone is just tapping into cc debt, bnpl and borrowing on margin.
Yah we're f#@%&ed 😢.
Republicans, Democrats and Trump all suck.
53 year old Gen Xer here with a paid off mortgage zero consumer debt with 500k in my 401k and growing. Not a fan of the Trump Maga policies but I'm making it even though not as well as I did under Obama and Biden.
RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT BOOMERS HAD IT REALLY EASY. WE DIDN'T GO THROUGH ANY RECESSIONS OR CARTER OR ANYTHING. JUST A BREEZE. PEOPLE PRACTICALLY GIVING HOUSES AWAY. SMDH YOU YOUNG FU<KHEADS. GO FU<K YOU AND YOUR PARTICIPATION TROPHIES AND BOGUS USELESS DEGREES. PLAYING VIDEO GAMES INSTEAD OF GROWING UP. FU<K YOU PUS$IES. FU<K OFF. LOSERS.
My hobby is old comics & guitar shops. No kids? Wife? You are correct.
Boomers were buying houses at 2x income and will come on here and complain about 12% interest rates.
Fox News reports on the top 10%
Fairytale Land
I am living a comfortable retirement for which I am very grateful. But to have a headline saying Boomers r Flush is sooooo FAKE NEWS and I am very disappointed in Fox Business for it. The internet is full of sites w retired people who r really struggling-some r living in vans some in motel rooms! Same w Gen Z people-some r doing fine and some r struggling. I believe these headlines r part of what is currently happening w the different generations turning on ea other.
How about this. All politicians only get to stay in office and reappear on a ballot with a balanced budget and reduced government spending, especially handouts to illegals. It would be amazing how quickly this could get done. And, about those handouts. Chew on this. We were required by B. Hussein O. to buy healthcare or pay a fine, yet illegals receive care for free.
Peak Boomers may be flush. Tail enders, aka Generation Jones are screwed like the rest. Jones is also unable to retire.
Boomers have had a lifetime to work and save and started doing so when the dollar had more value. So their assets have also inflated in value.
Home is where you make it
Inequality comes from the Fed fiat system. Ron Paul said this 30 years ago. Finally the chicken has come home.
If you are a boomer and not worth at least 2 million right now something is wrong. You literally had to live a regular life, buy a normal home in your 20's, work at one job since the late 70's-mid80's, get your pension, get your additional 401k that was added in addition to your grandfathered pension, collect social security, have at least $600k in home equity on your first property and another $300-500k on your vacation home. Boomers are booming!
If AI was so smart and great, it could pay for itself.
Boomers are not flush! Only the top 10 %
I work two jobs and live in my car this country has not done anything for the working people in a long time minimum wage has not gone up in Pennsylvania in 28 years the government has known about the affordable housing crisis since the late seventies my government hasn't done anything to resolve it
Quit blaming Boomers. Some of us worked hard, saved hard, and lived through high inflation and high interest rates, several financial crises, deindustrialization and globalization of jobs, and many wars. Gen Z hasn’t had to deal with as many stressful issues by comparison. Gen Z seems to want to travel and spend more rather than save. Consumption instead of saving is the real issue.
This is hilarious that they are just now understanding the concept that progressives having been highlighting for over a decade.
Live within your means. Until people learn that they will always complain about the economy.
I'm flush with money? Where is it, because my bank account isn't showing it.
Maybe the wealthy are holding it for me and all I need to do is ask for it.
This is from our great school systems. There more worried about teaching EQUALITY
I own a business and we're not winning. Sales have been down since February and expenses have been going up.
Uh oh, Fox…your audience of illiterate troglodytes doesn't seem to trust you. I'm loving your comment sections, though. Keep alienating your audience and supporting peeddos. Seriously, never change. 😂
I can tell you from experience in construction the cheap labor has kept wages down. 90s pay was 10 to 25 an hour its 2026 pay is 15 to 30. I have seen the county allow business to get away with not following the building code, cost me jobs as well as others. Then you make a complaint and no one cares. All for greed.
