[quote=Anonymous]UMC = stands to inherit millions = family money ≠ family office, 3 gilded age properties, wealth that goes back to a 1600s Massachusetts commercial enterprise, and everything that comes with it

It’s a question of degree. I imagine the youngsters are interested in the lesser degree of family money, which is still a massive transfer of wealth.  Every generation has their hang ups though.  This probably is some pendulum effect from their parents generations experiences.. who knows.

Only in striver circles like DCUM do people think the UMC tradition of paying for private school, college, a starter house, and having a hand me down car until 30, plus inheriting multiple millions and not needing to sweat elder care doesn’t constitute “family money” because it’s not top 0.1% wealth.

Somehow on DCUM you’re looked down on if your parents buy your house but you’re envied if you inherited a house.  Not sure if you’re able to do math, but it’s essentially the same value transfer.
