Are younger Britons worse off than their parents were?

A personal finance comparison is drawing attention to whether people today are poorer than their parents were at the same age. It contrasts the two generations across housing costs, earnings, debt, pensions and overall wealth, asking outright which generation had it better. The debate feeds into a wider UK conversation about house prices, stagnant wages and whether the standard expectation of doing better than one's parents has broken down.
Why now: Rising housing costs and wealth inequality between generations are hot topics in the UK right now.
