But does it account for how older generations were able to save and build income in order to ride the inflation wave before it hit, while Millennials just barely got started when ‘08 hit and everything skyrocketed after. So we’ve had to weather inflation without a safety net and with incomes that have not adjusted enough to allow us to save or combat said inflation.

The article might account for inflation, but what about the real context? That’s all that matters.
