My parents spend everything on our upbringing so nothing inherited. But the value for money and a debt free life and few other important life lesson are the prized possession with us. I think a person should pass on some learning rather than making their coming generation useless by transferring enormous wealth for their extravagant life....but the boomers are well blessed to enjoy the life without seeing much struggle
The "long peace" where so many died after the war, then the boom of rebuilding and new business opportunity growth, definitely gave an advantage. Pity that rather than build a better system, they doubled-down on making the current one even more greed focused.
