The article discusses the intergenerational wealth transfer as baby boomers hand down properties and assets to millennials, who will face challenges such as tax complications. However, the author acknowledges a significant oversight by neglecting to mention Generation X, who are simultaneously grappling with their own responsibilities of managing their parents' estates while tending to their children. This omission led to backlash from Gen X readers, emphasizing their struggles and the feeling of being overlooked in discussions about economic issues.

"I know Gen X is the forgotten generation. It just hurts when I'm the one dealing with this."
