The tension and fighting among generations is tough to watch and to live in real time.
A lot of what you say is true and the odd and upsetting thing is I have had to deal with my parents not understanding the value of things that actually matter a lot in part because they were overpaid by an inefficient organization that ultimately went bankrupt. Their compass of value is all out of wack.
They got rid of a bunch of vintage auto shop signs that were my Grandpa's that both myself and my sister wanted just to get US paper dollars losing value real time.
One of the things I have learned about that generation is very few of them have any legitimate plan to grow generational wealth. They always seem like they are going to teach everyone the value of a dollar when they themselves have no real understanding on how much devaluation has occurred and that the younger generations don't really have anything to work towards.
The new yung bloods coming up can save up to eat a ball of seed oils and saw dust and if they work real hard they can subscribe to their teacher's OnlySimps account and also their best friends sister's account.
Most boomers would rather sell and take a huge tax hit or let it go through probate just so the next generation doesn't get it so they can "teach the value of a dollar."
