One thought on “Baby boomers, Australia’s richest generation, are expected to hand over $3.5 trillion to younger generations over the coming decades, largely via inheritance.”

  1. That’s a significant transfer of wealth! The $3.5 trillion expected to shift from baby boomers to younger generations could have a profound impact on the economy and individual financial situations. It raises important questions about how these inheritances will be managed—whether they’ll be spent, saved, or invested. Furthermore, it could exacerbate existing wealth disparities if not handled thoughtfully. It’s essential for younger generations to prepare financially for this transition, both to manage the inheritances wisely and to understand the broader implications for society. What strategies do you think younger generations could adopt to make the most of this wealth transfer?
