Boomers Had It Better - The St. Louis Podcast: Episode #144

Boomers paid $738 a year for college. Millennials are starting life $40,000 in debt. Boomers bought homes at 3x their annual income. Millennials are looking at 7-8x. And boomers now own 51% of all U.S. wealth while millennials hold just 10%.
In this episode, Eric breaks down the real generational wealth gap with hard data: housing, wages, student debt, retirement savings, healthcare costs, and a Social Security system that may run dry before millennials ever collect. This isn't about blaming individuals. It's about understanding why things are so different for younger generations and what we can actually do about it.
