It was intended to show a data point of a unique situation. You see other charts on here of very high earners, low savers, high savers, low earners, and a combination of these. This is just somewhere in between.

I wasn’t expecting a particular type of engagement. Just wanted to present some data.

I see how this can be generational wealth after you clarified. In my mind I always saw that term applicable to those around me who came from affluent families. I’m talking about Ivy League educated families whose children never had to worry about getting into college or being able to pay.

I guess I can see the value in that. After all I am an advocate for transparency about these things. It may help others to see that it isn’t their fault for not keeping up with people in situations like yours for example.

And yeah there are absolutely levels to the generational wealth thing and you are arguably on the lowest tier. That’s fair
