I thought generational wealth meant building a legacy that would make multiple generations of your family exceptionally wealthy. Like 3+ generations are complete ballers.

Like how 4 generations of the Astor family were exceptionally wealthy.

Or in this Century how Joe Kennedy Sr made at least 3 following generations wealthy and socially relevant.

Why do we allow inheritance in the first place? We know it doesn't come from common consent because we never put it up for a vote. If Americans were allowed to vote on what should be done with Musk's wealth after he dies, what do you think they'd choose?

Locke kinda argued the opposite: he said it was never put to a vote. Furthermore, if we did put it to a vote, people would most likely want to confiscate wealth from dead richmos and distribute it to themselves. You don't think people would vote to give themselves a piece of Musk's money after he dies? They'd PREFER that it all go to Musk's kids?

Became a popular term during the peak woke years as an extension of white privilege. I also think it reflects social anxiety in response to HCL in coastal cities and popular areas where it's pretty clear a lot of generational wealth transfers is being used to help younger generations get on the property ladder. There's no denying a UMC family able to fully fund college, even a state university degree, and gifting $50-100k for a down on a modest house puts their child in a very different financial place in the long term than someone who has to spend decades paying off college loans and scrimping and saving to just get a down. That kind of economic pressure wasn't so evident in the past because even working class parents could pay college tuitions in the 50s-60s and housing was cheaper.

A perfect example is a college classmate of mine. When she was 26, her much older father died (parents were divorced) and she and two older half brothers from a first marriage split the father's estate, each receiving a third of a million. She used 300k of her share to buy a SFH in the bay area for 800k (circa 2007). No way she would have been able to afford it otherwise. House is now worth a cool 2.5M due to appreciation. She's a nice woman and with a good career but she definitely benefited from an early inheritance. Lots of stories similar to hers with family help. And these stories are increasingly dividing people into winners and losers because America is cleaving into winners and losers, including entire metro areas versus others.

the modern economy depends on technological growth and when that game of musical chairs stops, then all sorts of financial levers need to get pulled to stop hyperinflation taking route. this is the natural consequence of that.

you also have government controls like prop 13 that amplify the issue.

unfortunately the western world (inclusive of russia) is mega shitlib compared to the rest of human civilization in the old world, so nobody is willing to just shoot vagrants and drug affiliated people to repair society overnight.

As Disco explained earlier upthread, till recently "multigenerational wealth" was exclusively used for the very rich such as the robber barons. But in the last ten, especially five years, it's trickled down to prosperous middle classes launching their kids into the next generation of prosperous middle classes.

What I'm planning for my own kids - fully funded college/grad school and help with their first house - is now considered building multigenerational wealth whereas 20 years ago it'd just be seen as helping kids get started in life.
