Did you get an inheritance? Or some financial gift?

Do you plan on giving same to your kids? I’m surprised at how many parents buy their kid their first car, house, school, etc. not sure if that will Be returned to the next generation.

I didn’t get shite. I plan to make sure my kid has a reliable car that’s paid for and education paid for.

If the parents are well off, there are good financial planning reasons to make lifetime gifts. Most parents obviously can’t afford to make large gifts.

I know what my MIL currently has and what her future looks like when her husband passes. I am hopeful for a sizeable windfall for our family, but I save and plan like it will never happen.
I also think my 97yo granny is going to leave me +/- $25k but I could be wrong there.

we have a will set up that leaves our estate in a trust to the kids.
we also have Living Will's and DPOA's in place also, because I don't want my children to be put in a position where they're tasked with making end of life decisions for me.

I got small stuff no more than $1500. I bought my first house at 25 and my parents bought $1500 worth of blinds for the house.
Got married at 27 and they bought my picture package for around $1000 to $1500, we paid for the wedding and honeymoon.

you’re kind of obsessed with money and how much people have or don’t have

I've never inherited anything besides a few guns. My parents helped with college. My dad has discussed what he is leaving me whenever he passes which is about 10 acres and a few other things. I do plan on leaving whatever I have left to the kids which should be significant.

I haven’t gotten shite. Probably won’t. I have already resigned that I will have to work for everything I have and life will be a struggle financially

We sold the home I grew up in for $24k and split that among 4 siblings.
We were poor by anyone's standards.
My wife and I have no kids. Our estate is 33% to our church missions, 33% to one animal shelter we adopted from and 33% to another.

If (IF) a parent has the means, I think they should get their kids through school with no debt. Once they start their career, they are on their own except for emergencies obviously. For daughters, tradition dictates a wedding. I would counter that you give them a lump sum and let them choose between wedding or home down payment.
But they say the wedding is actually for the Mother of the Bride to show off. So all bets are off if you have to keep the wife happy.

My grandmother left each grand kid a couple grand (4 figures) when she passed. That was legit when I was like 20.
I was hood rich for a few months.
My mom is 72 and still kicking. We were shooting AR's this morning at her place, so I won't be seeing anything in the near future, hopefully.
My wife and I do well enough. I'm not sweating or banking on any big inheritance.
