    Wow. The graph they are pulling their data from is LOADED with bullshit. It’s measuring the growth of net income of age groups. Not the actual worth. The growth of their worth. They are really trying to say that it’s shocking that people aged 18-39 experienced growth in net worth vs people 40+?

    Shocking study finds that people who got their first job are making 100% more than they did before they got a paycheck while those who have settled into a career experience growth at normal rates.

      Just to nitpick a bit, but if you are working your first job and earning money, then you are making infinitely more times the money you made before.
