Wealthy Gen Xers give more to charity than other generations

According to a survey from Northern Trust, which polled 1,000 households with investible assets of at least $1 million, Generation X millionaire households (those ages 28 to 42) gave away more money than Baby Boomers (ages 43 to 61) or Silent Generationers (ages 62 to 77). GenXers gave an average of $20,000 in 2006, compared to $10,000 for the older millionaire households.
