It_s Not Inflation You Should Be Watching. It_s The Boomers
from CurioVerse · host Panda Fury
The economy looks stable. Inflation is cooling, unemployment is low, but there's one force quietly reshaping everything beneath the surface. Baby Boomers.While younger generations struggle with high mortgage rates, debt, and rising living costs, Boomers now control nearly $79 trillion in wealth and are collecting hundreds of billions in annual interest income from higher rates. The result is a bizarre economy where the very policies meant to slow spending are often enriching the people who already own the most assets.We'll break down how decades of asset inflation created the largest wealth concentration in modern American history, why high interest rates may be helping the wealthy more than hurting them, and how cash buyers, inheritance, and generational wealth are transforming housing, spending, and the future of the American Dream.The real story isn't inflation, it's who owns everything while everyone else tries to catch up.
