[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a millennial with Baby Boomer parents. You could say I grew up well off/wealthy, but not super wealthy. One parent came from generational wealth, while the other grew up poor, but had a mixed bag in terms of their extended family (for instance, one parent had a well off uncle and some extended family that was successful/comfirtable).

[b]I have never earned as much money as my dad. He’s the one who comes from generational wealth and through continued hard work earns millions a year.[/b] My mom had a more normal job. Although my parents never made me feel bad, and I’m highly successful by most standards, I don’t feel as successful for that reason.

Has anyone else grown up well off but not quite surpassed building greater generational wealth than what was built for you. [/quote]

Your dad earns millions...so, not really understanding why you would think you would earn more unless you are saying you are a BigLaw partner or an investment banking managing director, but aren't earning.

At the extreme, it's not as though Jeff Bezos' kids will ever earn anything truly on their own that even comes within 1% of what their father makes.[/quote]
