I'm not young, but that's basically what we (sadly) are waiting for. My mother is well off and 82 and we have to wait for her to die to get our lives to a place where we're all satisfied with them, i.e. selling the house we have now and moving somewhere else because we live in an undesirable location and our house is worth very little comparatively despite being a nice 3-bedroom in one of the safer neighborhoods in town.
She knows it too, which is the worst part. She already told me that she's giving her giant house to me and not my brother so I can sell it and we can get out of where we're living. God I hate that she has to think about things that way, but worse, my daughter has to think about things that way.
It's bad enough that I do.
Common white people are able to inherit it.
Generational wealth for people of color is still something many of them are not lucky enough to have.
Maybe so, but that still mostly only applies to white people. A larger inheritance per child doesn't matter if the inheritance is a paltry sum. Or no inheritance at all.
Are you really unaware of the generational wealth gap?

Please read the article I pasted and get back to me.
Got it. You're not going to read the article. Well, I'll just leave this here for you:
Looking forward to you avoiding those inconvenient truths in favor of more personal attacks.
Corporations are eating the extra pizza tho. I told mom but she says she can't do anything about it.
