[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Generational wealth typically lasts just 3 generations. Wondering when yours is up and if you plan to continue the wealth?[/quote] I am the great-grandchild, so 3rd generation. Great-grandfather was a pioneering doctor researcher in a mining region, studying black lung disease. His daughter and grandchildren all became highly trained (children's heart surgeon, gynecologist, chemist math whiz). Then the Soviet Union fell 4 years after my birth. All that wealth went with it. I grew up in a beautiful apartment with chandeliers, engraved silver silverware, ruby and ivory knick ornaments. But we had no money, ate oatmeal and wore I'll fitting clothes and shoes that were either too small or too flimsy. Then moved here to US and lost all the social connections. My father is still an elitist snob and judges anyone who didn't go to top university as unworthy of his attention. But he lives in poverty and centers life around grocery discounts. [/quote]
