Boomers, Bucks & a Broken System
• 78 million Americans were born during the post–World War II baby boom… a 40% population surge over just 20 years
• Between 1967 & 1975, this massive generation began entering the workforce
• In 1971, President Nixon ended the gold standard, severing the dollar’s link to gold
• Since 1975, real wages in the U.S. have grown at just 0.3% per year
• Meanwhile, ALL asset prices have skyrocketed
