In the first post of this series, we found that older millennials (those born in the 1980s) had made significant gains in family wealth. They were only 11% below wealth expectations as of 2019, versus 40% below expectations in 2016. By “wealth expectations, we mean a predicted level based on the wealth held by families in that generation and earlier generations at similar ages.
