@jrs100000 You'll note I said "princes and princesses of the top 10%". As in top 10% of households by income.

Those Millennials are set.

The middle class Millennials are now starting to inherit property.

And the working class Millennials? Screwed.

@scrubbles Let me correct this one for them:

Millennials — long mocked for being locked out of the housing market and postponing major life decisions due to their financial position — are finally starting to inherit wealth.

Well, as long as they're middle class.

Many princes and princesses of the top 10% already had parents willing to be guarantors on mortgages, or just outright give precious a trust fund.

And working class millennials are already screwed, and will be for the rest of their lives.

But for 40-something middle-class Millennials, their 70-something Boomer parents kicking the bucket is providing an unexpected financial windfall.
