This seems like a very upper-middle class mentality. The vast majority of people don't ever pass on wealth. Hell, go back 30 years and getting an inheritance was something the ultra-wealthy only did.
- ejb999 3y agothe vast majority of people don't, but I would say close to 100% of parents wish they could. What parent doesn't want their kids to be at least equal to, if not better off then they were?
- JohnFen 3y agoEvery parent wants this, but how do you define "better off"? I won't be handing a large pile of cash to my children, mostly because to me, them being "better off" means that they are able to build the lives they want. When I look at families where the parents gave their kids a large amount of wealth, it seems rare that the kids have been better off for it.
