Proverbs 13:22 says: "A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, And the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous."

I've read several interviews over the years where wealthy people say things along the lines of "my kids won't see a cent of my money", ***but*** the way they come off is smug and holier-than-thou as if it's a virtue to not leave your kids anything.

It is one thing to say that you don't want your kids to end up being entitled brats who end up junkies but that has to do with how you parent them *before* you die. I think that when these types of stories are published, it causes older generation to think that leaving nothing to their children isn't just normal, but praiseworthy.

Additionally, when someone in the entertainment industry makes these sorts of comments, they want to believe that their wealth came from how great they were without any acknowledgement that they were lucky. It would be like a lottery winner saying that he wasn't going to leave his children any of his lottery winnings because he "wants them to know how to work for a living".

It's the *attitude* that gets me, the idea that people think not leaving your children an inheritance is something to brag about.

Some of it might be that, but some of it is also a coping mechanism for people who get robbed blind by the kikes so badly that they know they'll have nothing left over when they die

My parents taught me how to work and build wealth. They also told me that everything will be passed down to me and my little brother. Then I built my own wealth. I no longer have a need to receive the inheritance (but I will still take it), however, during that process I have always felt a sense of safety, that even if I fail I won't be out on the street. That is very important.

Now I'm trying to teach my son the same. Build your wealth but rest assure that there's a safety net supported by your father and grandfather waiting for you.

Work hard to provide for your family, but never worship money. Money is just a mean.

Since Boomers.

My grandparents gave my Boomer parents a solid inheritance. My Boomer parents pretty much held mine hostage unless I towed the line with their goy beliefs and values.

Until one day I said “fuck it, no amount of money is worth your shit”. I expect and have prepared for zero.

Similar boat here. My grand parents *gave* my parents a decent chunk of money to start a business. They then turned around and gatekept said business away from my sibling and I.

They actually bragged about how much money they'd be leaving to us; the business, which we both put hundreds of unpaid hours into over our childhoods, and the land it's on will be liquidated.

I've told them I don't want it. If they want to run everything, let them be buried with their money. They can pay some immigrant to take care of them, too.

This is not common behavior among really wealthy people, they build wealth generationally, they fund their children’s college experience, they give them start up money if their kid wants to start their own business, and at the end, they leave properties behind, their business is left behind to the kids if they owned one, and definitely whatever else is left in their bank account and stock portfolio. The selfish behavior you are talking about is almost exclusively found among boomers who really aren’t super wealthy, but have somewhere around a million or two in the bank for retirement….they blow it on vacations, cottages, toys (like boats, jet skis, and cars), gambling and other assorted stupid shit, rather than leaving anything behind to their children, it’s insane, but they were taught by the TV and conservative radio personalities to be the ultimate consumers, that “they earned it” so they have a right to enjoy it, kids be damned.

I don't know how many here are looking build lasting multli-generational wealth but if so, many may not like how it is done.

If you look at the old money families that have succeeded in this, they always leave the vast majority of the fortune to one heir, and it passes down that way.

A perfect example of this is the British Royal Family. There is only one heir that gets to ascend to the throne. The two brothers don't get things split 50/50. There can only be one king.

If you have more than 1 kid and want to split it, that's fine, but it will dilute the fortune, and within 1-2 generations it will be diluted into nothing.

If you want to build lasting multli-generational wealth, then you need to, like the Royal Family, groom an heir, and pass the fortune and pass on the knowledge.

Eh not exactly. Distributing it equally brings the whole family forward. Intentionally leaving people out just refuses seed capital and stunts your kids.

Also you'll see that many times family were trying to kill other family just to gain their resources. I'm not pitting my children against each other.

Yes, exactly. It's simple math. If you're going to refute this, then bring the receipts.

>Distributing it equally brings the whole family forward.

You sound like a communist redditor.

>Intentionally leaving people out just refuses seed capital and stunts your kids.

It's K-selection vs. r-selection. You are siding for r-selection, which is how cockroaches, niggers and pajeets breed.

I'm not having multiple kids and then leaving half of them out in the cold because it might make them stronger.

My children will work together. I prefer to have a diversified portfolio instead of betting everything on 1 child. It creates a more resilient family as a whole. Weakest link and all that.

Depends on how big a family you're talking about. Sure, if there's something that can't be split like a business or a paid-off house, the best thing for the family as a whole would be to leave it to whichever kid would be best able to take care of it. But if there's only one or two other kids, then there's no harm in investing to grow multiple strong branches of the family, like how old noble families sometimes sprouted off cadet branches.

Do whatever you want. The topic was on building generational wealth and in this case, there is a very specific method to do so.

I'm glad you used the example of the noble families. Once again, only one person inherits the "Baron" / "Duke" / "Kaiser" / etc title. Not every sibling gets it. Which only proves my point about generational wealth.

It's the boomer mentality of fucking up the country, draining it dry and leaving nothing back. Of course they do not spare their children.

> but that has to do with how you parent them before you die.

To boomers and idiots (big intersection) that doesn't matter. They throw their children into institutions and follow the stream, and expect everything to work out fine for their children as it worked out for them.

They do not understand that times have changed, namely got significantly worse. Back then it was sufficient to not be retarded and to "show up" to get a job apparently... today one can't even find a job as a skilled, experienced man without having 100+ competitors and having to figure out the automated systems they use to filter applications (keywords and AI). And the competition is not about skills and fit vs cost, it's about superficialities and "marketing yourself." Due to that, everyone is fucked (employers and employees). Newbies are more fucked than I am, but even I am fucked enough that I had to go an alternate route (fortunately I can).

> came from how great they were without any acknowledgement that they were lucky.

It's all about illusion. Tricking others in the shared game of pretend everyone plays. You cannot imagine how much of our world is drowning in illusions, including everyday life.

> because he "wants them to know how to work for a living".

Which is a good idea, if the world wouldn't be so fucked. 50 years ago it was much easier to hustle through life and find a living doing whatever. You could be creative or go the default route. Both worked.

As of inheritance, if it's all about money, the boomer already failed. Handing a farm, shop or anything related to professions to your offspring to continue the work is one thing, but just handing bags of money is stupid.

But the boomer is too self-obsessed and arrogant to recognize his failures and how to do anything right that isn't already handed to him by the status quo.

Give your family heirlooms of the best quality you can, ideally with a story so they won't want to sell it asap. Good to leave the gift until they are older - 30+. If it is something like quality jewellery, painting etc it will likely rise in value over generations and you can hope you might be giving your great great great grandchild some extra security. Also harder for the Jew to know about and tax.

I brought up that wealth or at least property used to be passed off to the children not so long ago to a redditarded generic "center lefty" and their Neil Degrasse Tyson midwit take was "hurr, there's some billionaires denying that to their children" and that's as far as they thought.

So because a handful of rich people are doing it means that's the way it's supposed to be?

It literally says children's children, not children.

A way to ensure your progeny and at the same time ensuring your own offspring has to work to offer a life to a wife for said offspring.

Like planting a tree to provide your grandchildren shelter.
