7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

The title (and perhaps the study) suggests this is a new phenomenon. If we're using the time frame of "late teens and early 40s", then this has been happening even to our great grandparents generation.
An easy example was having your parents help you with a down payment on a house. This was a common thing my parents parents helped with.
Which is why the gap in generational wealth keeps increasing as the poor don't have parents who can help them with a down payment.
This is especially true of those of limited means that actually do overcome these massive challenges and come up with enough to buy a house, and government tools that can get that house taken away from them such as Eminent Domain or seizing of houses for property taxes when a municipality uses arbitrary means to determine taxable liability.
Parents helping with a down payment I don't thing is culturally or even ses 'common'. That is very specific to region and ses
You don't think its common in the USA (which is where the study was focused and my response was intended)?
Governments and regulators have specifically had to change laws on home buying that enumerates money contributions from family to help the purchase of a home. If you've gone through a mortgage application process they crawl into your bank accounts looking for large deposits that don't come from your employer. Anything suspicious and you have to explain what it is. If its a $30,000 down payment gift from mom and dad, you have to get a notarized letter from mom and dad stating its a gift and not a loan from parents.
