        Wish this would be adjusted for age. Obviously someone who had more time to accumulate wealth will have more wealth. The real question is how much wealth does each generation have at the same age.

        Well this here GenXer wishes he could have some of that wealth. Unless ‘have a mortgage’ constitutes wealth.

            Equity in a house is not all that helpful when the house is in an undesirable town in an undesirable state.

              My point is just that a mortgage is debt while equity is an asset, so I don’t think you should consider a mortgage wealth.

            Considering how little we’re going to get back when we sell it within the next few months before fleeing to the UK, I would say that I don’t think it’s wealth.

                In the sense that the UK isn’t likely to force my queer daughter into a conversion camp in the near future, no.

                    Right, because Labour, (and the Tories and the Lib Dems) are all totally homophobic just like Republicans.

                    What the fuck are you talking about?

      This is why I’ve been saying that we can’t expect the population to simply age out of conservatism. If that worked, it would have happened generations ago. Perhaps as far back as “cooking food over fire is making kids these days weak”.
