Worth checking the headline against the survey's own tables before building a view on it. The SCF reports medians and means by age of the household head, and the "75 and older" result may be driven by a few large holdings rather than the typical household in that group. If the crowd reads "older Americans are richest" as "older consumers will carry spending," what would surprise them? Maybe that this cohort is asset-rich but cash-light, so the spending impact is smaller than the wealth figure suggests. Which measure are people here actually using: median net worth, mean, or a liquid-assets cut?
