economists constantly redefine cpi aka lie about inflation so those figures mean nothing. the entire field is just creating recursive copes to explain how keyenesian economics can go on forever something something.
real buying power and real value of the dollar is way different. the american left has gaslit themselves into believing otherwise but most people know money's worth about half of what it used to be before covid. the only things less affected were ultra high end luxury goods, so people like you economically sheltered from reality most people face don't feel it.

no it wasn't, boomers experienced an economic golden era their entire life start to finish. millenials graduated high school into an economic recession almost as bad as the great depression which primarily affected young people immigrants and low earners and bailed out the rich. and then millenials also lived through the largest wealth distribution from poor to rich in history with covid right around when most of them were starting to recover.
boomers are set to transfer less assets than any generation before to their own children, taxed at a higher rate than ever.
boomers also benefitted from their tax dollars actually going to them, not immigrants.
immigrants who receive the taxes the boomers' children work for are doing economically well. it's bordering on pathological serial killer sociopathic type behavior to say, "these people we replaced you with are rich, goy, the economy is great!"
