Now overlay that or normalize it by the number of people in each group.

Part of the difference is driven by numbers of people.



In 2017 there were just as many millennials as boomers

That is surprising given the birth rates. Even so, that generation runs 1981 - 1996. In 2017 their age would have been 21-36, well before their prime wealth years.

Plus Boomers were more savers than the following generations, plus have been saving longer. Instead of crying, millennials should go out and produce wealth.
