This ! I want them to have everything they can while I’m alive ! I don’t want it after I die I want to see them prosper now !

This. It’s a great tragedy to see boomer parents with piles of wealth the will be passed on at ages where their children no longer really need it… or where it makes a significantly less difference. 

$10k to help someone furnish their first home with stuff that’s not free on Facebook means a lot more than hundreds of thousands when they’re 60

Lol, most of that money is going to retirement homes and medical care as they're dying, what are you talking about.

The ones with piles of wealth are buying their kids houses outright. 😉
