I'm too lazy to dig into it. But I do wonder if those charts showing millennials on par with previous generations for income and wealth are averages - which wouldn't capture the rising economic inequality that more recent generational cohorts are experiencing. The averages probably mis-represent the experience and don't reflect that higher fractions of wealth and income are concentrated at the top, leaving less for everyone else. That wouldn't be true for home ownership, tho although the level of mortgage debt would be interested to see.
