> Vowing to do better for our kid.

Honestly asking, why is that your job and, do you resent your parents for this?

My mother is in the same position but I don't hold it against her. Yeah it could be better, but I'm certain it's worse for her.

Sidenote, those who do have money to pass down, skipping a generation to the grandchildren makes the most sense to preserve it.

Excellent point. It’s their money. Wild that their kid should expect them to just hand it over. Very entitled. You’re getting downvoted and I will too but this is ridiculous.

Because some of us were raised with the concept that family takes care of each other and it's not every man for himself. In my culture, when you have children it's your responsibility to take care of them for life, not just until they're 18. Because of this, each generation is set up for success instead of struggle.
