We are not big on the idea that parents must leave their kids an inheritance. We tried to give them the fundamentals to succeed (whatever that may look like to them), and the rest is up to them.
My mother and in-laws have decent money, and the plan is to receive it, but… of course no one should count on it.
Of course, there’s also the reality of looking at the wealth distribution by age in this country, and how few of our generation are lucky enough to be comfortable regardless of parental plans.
