[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).

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. 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]

We grew up poor, and worked our way to UHNW by 50 with more likely to come.  I highly doubt our kids will out earn us.  They have good jobs and love what they do.  They prefer to have a better quality of life/work balance.  And lucky for them, they can manage that because we already gift them for extras. 
But they have great jobs and are on a good career path, they just know they don't have to work 80 hour+ weeks to "get ahead".  [/quote]
