Various parts of my family are pretty damn wealthy, as far as I can assume. I cut contact. I won't be in any of their wills, I won't have their money. And I am immensely happy for that. It means that everything I achieve is purely my own, and with people I love dearly. It's a lot less comfortable but it opened me to opportunities I never would have had. Like other commenters, my nice programming job in tech helped make that happen. We're pretty damn lucky to learn these skills at this time.
