About this episode
In this episode, Michael dives into a generational debate that never seems to go away: who had it harder—boomers or millennials? Drawing on new data from The Wall Street Journal, Michael breaks down income, housing, college costs, and major economic events that shaped each generation. From 18% mortgage rates to student debt and the 2008 financial crisis, both sides make their case. Listeners from across the country weigh in, offering personal stories and sharp opinions on whether today’s younger Americans are truly worse off—or just facing different challenges.
