My parents have everything. My grandparents were fairly wealthy and passed on. We have inherited nothing from them, it all went to my parents and we saw nothing of it. They have a nice new freestanding pool in their backyard and a fire pit, though. Oh and new cars. I was buying a home recently and had to take a down payment as a retirement loan. Not a cent from them to help.
I remember being 23 and asking my mom if she’d add me to one of her credit cards to help me with credit. I didn’t want access, just so that it would help my credit history. She refused by telling me that it was my responsibility.

Sounds like they’ve failed as parents, then.
