If your grandparents achieved a middle-class life in 1950's America, they owned a home. That home is a form of intergenerational wealth. If they are still alive, your parents or you or another relative will likely get a windfall someday of probably six-figures. Which means that windfall will at the least double the average retirement savings of a median millennial or GenX person.
