Yes, this is because we have been living in a boomer-retirement-fund driven crony capitalistic market for the past 2-3 decades. Wall Street and politicians in bed doing whatever they can to squeeze the economy of every last drop (usually through regulations + consolidations) to put in the old peoples last-wishes/bucket-list fund. We are a society that went from having too many impoverished elderly to having too many narcissistic and lavish elderly who have no idea what too even do with their 3 homes and 7 figures. Rich hippies, basically.
