As someone who has been around rich white folk for some time (private school, Vanderbilt, etc).. we vastly underestimate their level of generational wealth.

cacs who failed out vandy inheriting a few mill when they hit 21.

I told yall about my coworker who inherited 6 houses in his name so he literally couldnt fail at life if he tried.

I know many many many people who inherited their parents house, land, business so they start their adult life basically having 3 things that normally take half a lifetime to acquire.

Generational wealth to me is setting my kids up so that even if they fukked up and were worthless, they will still live a better life than i did and have some to pass down too. Money, property, business, name.

GENERATIONAL WEALTH IS PROTECTED MONEY. THAT'S ALL. GETTING A HOUSE PASSED TO YOU IS NOT GENERATIONAL WEALTH. IT WOULD TAKE A DISASTER TO LOSE GENERATIONAL WEALTH.

IT'S NO TOUCH MONEY. YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING FOR THE MONEY TO GENERATE ITSELF.
IF YOU HAVE A FAMILY SOURCE THAT PAYS FOR NO REASON AT ALL, THAT'S GENERATIONAL WEALTH.
IF YOU TAKE ALL THE MONEY OUT OF YOUR ACCOUNT, LEAVE TOWN WITHOUT YOUR DEBIT/CREDIT CARDS, AND COME HOME TO MORE MONEY IN YOUR ACCOUNT.
IF YOU DIE, YOUR KIDS INHERIT THE ABOVE JUST OFF THE STRENGTH OF BEING YOUR KIDS.

You’ll get a lot of different answers in this thread.
And that’s important.
Because it isn’t a singular amount.
It’s an amount that transcends and allows you a “fuller” life.
I have a friend that gets a trust of $250k in a few years and another I went to undergrad w/ that gets close to a million when her grandmother died.
Interestingly enough they’re both half Black and the money is coming from the white side.
Other kids I went to school with may only be getting ~$10k or so thousand, quite a few are getting a house or other valuable property handed down, either after graduation, after wedding, or after an older person dies.

A lot of white people don’t get much more than their parents house, bonds or an interest-heavy savings, an aged stock portfolio or a life insurance policy. If not any of that, they may have just been provided a stable two-family home, a good education, a strong network, and maybe tuition paid for.

The thing is: they get *something.*
A lot of African-Americans don’t get any of the above. Disproportionately so.

And that’s why “generational wealth” is such a hinderance, because any of its forms give a boost to the receiver.

For me personally?

A house paid off and at least a Q Mill. But more importantly, I want to give her the knowledge to grow the money that I give her, so that Her kids will be afforded that same chance of GW.
