Boomer vs You — Same-Age Wealth Comparison

Numbers are medians, not averages. The point isn\'t blame — it\'s clarity about why "behind your parents" might be a broken comparison.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do the Boomer numbers come from?
US: Federal Reserve Survey of Consumer Finances 1989 (Boomers age 30-40). EU: Bundesbank PHF + ECB HFCS surveys. Inflation adjusted to 2026 €/$ using CPI. Housing prices use national house price indexes (Case-Shiller US, Destatis DE). Numbers are medians, not averages, to avoid skew.
Isn't this just generation-bashing?
No — it's data. Boomers genuinely had a different economic environment: lower house-to-income ratios (3-4× vs 8-12× now), defined-benefit pensions, lower healthcare/education costs in real terms. Acknowledging this isn't blame — it's the starting point for "what does my generation actually need to do differently?"
But Boomers worked hard too.
Yes, and most did. The point isn't individual blame. The structure was different. A median Boomer working full-time at a median wage could buy a median house in 4 years. A median Millennial/Gen Z needs 8-12. Same effort, different terrain.
What should I do with this number?
Three things: (1) Adjust expectations — comparing yourself to your parents at the same age is historically broken because the economy isn't the same. (2) Identify the leverage your generation has (cheap index funds, remote work, AI) that they didn't. (3) Stop the "am I behind?" panic when the metric is rigged. You're not behind on your generation's curve — but the curve is flatter than your parents'.
Why does my country matter?
Massively. US: housing went 4× since 1990 inflation-adjusted. UK: 5×. Germany: 2.5× (slower but accelerating). Australia: 6×. The "Boomer wealth advantage" is far larger in some countries than others. The tool adjusts for your national data.
