Baby boomers control $83.3 trillion, more than half of all U.S.
wealth. But is the frustration younger generations feel actually
justified, or is something deeper going on?

In this episode, Dr. Roger Hall and his co-host unpack one of the
most charged conversations in economics today: generational wealth,
resentment, and whether the system is truly broken or whether
our perception of it is.

Roger draws a sharp distinction between envy and jealousy, explains
why wealth is not a finite resource, and introduces the concept of
ergodicity — the idea that the wealthy of today are not guaranteed
to be the wealthy of tomorrow.

They also tackle the housing crisis head-on, discussing why home
prices have outpaced wages, what role large investment firms play,
and whether a correction is on the horizon.

Honest, grounded, and thought-provoking. This is the generational
money conversation worth having.
