See! You're not THAT poor. Just give it another few decades!

Yeah, because their parents are dying and leaving their kids an inheritance.
Generational wealth is a huge cancer on the system that isn't talked about enough. You can't fix wealth inequality with nepo-babies running around.
I'm not going to pretend I didn't get an inheritance when my dad died. I got a little run down house in a farm town and the balance of a workers comp settlement. There's a big difference between that and people inheriting enough that they never have to work a day in their lives.
No it isn't the same, but it is something. I'd sleep a lot better knowing I at least had a run down farmhouse on the way instead of working until I die to pay the rent.
The irony is that I only got that house because my parents divorced and I only got money because my dad was injured badly at work. His bad fortune was my good fortune. I would give it up in a heartbeat if it meant he didn't have to go through that pain.
Y'all got an inheritance? All I got was a funeral bill.
my parents asked me for loans
