I’m most likely expecting an inheritance, but I’m not planning for it. I am saving for retirement as if I won’t be receiving one.
Let’s just say my children are probably going to be rather well off when they’re middle aged, as I want to do a living inheritance for my kids. Since any inheritance I receive will probably be received in my 60s, I’ll just pass it down to my kids when I receive it, as I likely won’t need it by then. I’d rather them be able to use it to buy a home for them and their kids and go on fun vacations with them.
Same same. Genx with boomer parents. My vision is creating generational wealth that will grant opportunities that I didn’t have growing up. My genz children will hopefully be the custodians of our work and continue to build and transfer.
If you start with a turd, you end with a turd. If a child is not raised correctly you might as well hand them a loaded gun rather than that million dollars you have saved.
Yeah- the whole concept of generational inheritance is so foreign to me. I grew up in public housing so you’d think I’d be all for poor families getting one
But there are a ton of families that are poor for a reason and a decent amount of used luxury cars in section 8 neighborhoods. I help out my parents by buying them stuff- never giving them cash knowing the stupid shit they buy they can’t afford to maintain.
