Lucky for me my parents were both “I didn’t save anything for retirement, my kids will take care of me when I’m older”, so I don’t have to suffer through this.

This is fucking dumb. I told my parents to spend it up. I’m not entitled to it
Yeah I find it a little funny that people complain about generational wealth and then complain about not getting an inheritance.
Do you live in a country where every young adult is given a free home automatically?
Getting an inheritance is generational wealth. How come generational wealth is ok but only if I’m the one receiving it?
Your question seems like a strawman. My comment was only about the apparent conflict between the two stances and I was not trying to make any comment about whether one or the other is the correct way.
You’re entitled to something. The world is cruel but it brought you in. People can’t be like, “fuck these kids to life and let them die in a ditch.”
So my parents owe me their money because they burdened me with life? That’s an… interesting take.
You are very much a consequence of their actions, and to not acknowledge the duty of care that brings is neglect, in it’s way.
If you were to breed puppies and then cast them out onto the street to fend for themselves, or stop feeding them, as soon as you were bored of them that would be considered cruel.
I actually agree with you that they do not owe you their money, but that comes from my privilege of being able to survive comfortably without it.
It seems that our position in this particular argument is mainly supported by our own positions in life, so your mileage may vary on this one!
They can totally can say that as its there money. If they want to hand off any of there remaining assets to charity or the sate they totally can.
Most money passes through generations that’s why it is real money.
But people do as they please
