  • @scrubbles Let me correct this one for them:

    Millennials — long mocked for being locked out of the housing market and postponing major life decisions due to their financial position — are finally starting to inherit wealth.

    Well, as long as they’re middle class.

    Many princes and princesses of the top 10% already had parents willing to be guarantors on mortgages, or just outright give precious a trust fund.

    And working class millennials are already screwed, and will be for the rest of their lives.

    But for 40-something middle-class Millennials, their 70-something Boomer parents kicking the bucket is providing an unexpected financial windfall.
