The one about “Your grandfather did better… your father did better…” really hit home. Our kids have almost no chance of having the kind of income we have. True for my nieces and nephews as well (for all that we keep adding more and more doctorates to the family trophy case.) We (myself and my sibs) are trying to create enough generational wealth that this is not an issue for them too much, but it is really distressing to know this. What a truly fucked up timeline we have dropped into!
