  Somr Inheritance would be nice, but my boomer dad insists on spending it himself. Neither of us get what we want.

      It’s fair in a sense that his father may have left him inheritance

      The boomers made their way, then pulled the ladder up behind them. That’s privilege.

        For the overwhelming majority of the US population the notion of an ‘inheritance’ has not nor will it ever cross their mind.

        Be bitter about the lack of social safety nets or any investments by those in power into the poor and middle class.

        Not because you aren’t getting something from a loved one you somehow believe you were owed.

      Yeah, and what if I choose not to have kids to save my money?

      It’s my money, not his.

        You’re not obligated to have children - just like your dad isn’t obligated to leave you an inheritance.
