    It’s not equally distributed for sure, what we see in the actual data is the avg Gen X household has had continuous economic growth. If you play with the data and break it out even further, the wealthiest Gen Xers are the ones who are mopping up all the growth.

    Millenials and Boomers are relatively stagnant, but Boomers are retiring and drawing down on savings. They merge Millenials and Gen Z in this data, which I think is problematic, but whatever.

    Edit: if you break it down, it looks like 44+ is the age group benefitting the most – not sure what in the Simpson’s paradox is driving the Gen X numbers so much in the first chart
