Date: May 16th, 2026 10:43 PM Author: appetizing internal respiration Using Federal Reserve Survey of Consumer Finances data adjusted for inflation, median net worth for people aged 35–44 was: Boomers (1995): about $101k Gen X (2013): about $60k Early Millennials (2022): about $135k That means Gen X households in their late 30s/early 40s were roughly 41% poorer than Boomers at the same age. And the really dark part is that early Millennials, buoyed by post-COVID asset inflation and housing appreciation, actually surpassed Gen X’s equivalent-age wealth numbers in the Fed data. https://www.financialaha.com/data-analysis/us-net-worth-by-generation/ |

As a testament to my Success irl, I often point out that my student loan balance is paid in full. |
