Older generation created a finance gap of large proportions.

The video discusses the generational shift in wealth, highlighting how older generations, particularly those born in the 1940s and 1950s, have benefited from free healthcare, education, and rising house prices. Richard Smith, a retired teacher, exemplifies this 'lucky generation.' In contrast, younger generations face financial struggles, with fewer opportunities to own property and lower income levels compared to past decades. Caitlin White, a young adult, expresses her challenges in entering the housing market. The concentration of wealth among older generations is attributed to factors like generous pensions and rising property values, while younger people face debt despite potential for better health and longevity.
