[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The friends who I thought were on the same playing field as us are suddenly receiving inheritances and it shows. They're using that money to buy investment properties, Peletons or what have you. I hate to admit but I am green with envy. Both DH and I come from poor stock.  [/quote]

To make you feel better OP, I am an immigrant  and have a very poor family (mother, stepfather, grandmother, grandfather and a 32 year old brother)  who constantly ask me to wire them money. They are always struggling and think I am rich because I live in USA. It is very hard. I do not need any inheritance ( and obviously will never get any). All I want is to be left along! [/quote]

I'm an immigrant myself as well. Not only had no help from my family whatsoever, the expectation is that I need to help them financially.  I worked hard to earn my own money and make $100,000 a year at the age of 40. Luckily, I married a husband, whose parents also were immigrants and were very hard working and have some money, because they bought properties in 60's and are now renting them. So I can consider myself an upper middle class with our income,   but in this area I feel rather poor ( our combined annual income is $160000). We only have $60000 mortgage left on a house that's worth $880000. 
I can't even imagine how nice it would be to receive a lump sum of money ( like inheritance). That would be just so awesome.[/quote]
