Yeah. Yeah. So this wealth transfer is happening from lenders to borrowers all the time. Because think about it. Just like you said, you know, if you take out this loan, you pay it back in cheaper and cheaper and cheaper dollars. And that benefits you as the borrower.

I mean, look, you're probably a millennial, I'm guessing, right? I'm a Gen Xer, okay? I'm a little older. And so millennials like to complain, right? Right. And, you know, they have some legitimate complaints. Sure. But not all of them are totally legit. And, you know, one reason, by the way, let's take a little tangent. One reason the millennials maybe have less room to complain is this.

Millennials are on the slow life plan. And so what they do is they make these comparisons and they say, well, when my parents were 30 years old. They could afford a house and, you know, it was a nice house, right? And I can't afford anything and I'm 30. But that's not an accurate comparison because the millennials are doing everything about six years later than their parents.

And then it'll be more accurate. But then the millennials will say, well, you know, my baby boomer parents didn't have all this college debt. And they're right. The college debt is a scam. It's a complete scam, okay? You know, I call it the student loan debt enslavement industrial complex. It's terrible. But guess what your baby boomer parents did have in terms of an obligation?

They had children. And they were expensive, too.
They had children. And they were expensive, too.
Right. Yeah, you got kids. And so, you know, it's complicated, right? But there's this transfer going on from old people to young people every day. Why? Because old people hopefully have assets. They have savings accounts. They have stocks. and bonds. Those are their major assets. Now, of course, they have real estate too. They probably have equity in real estate.
