Given the aging demographic trend over most of the world, both the number of and wealth of millionaires should be increasing. What most people (and this article) tend to ignore is that a 65 year old should be richer than a 25 year old. 40 years of good savings discipline will lead to a nice number. Maybe not a million, but a large sum regardless. Instead, this article wants to focus on the ultra-high net worth (although the article uses a $30 million cutoff instead of the usual $40 million). In the end, you have an article that is more likely to divde people than get people to say say, "wow, those older folks sure did a good job savings - I should do that so I can be like them." Instead we get the opposite.
