decline and it took everything. Two of them moved home so their mom could stay in the house after their dad died. They both had to work and when they went into nursing homes, that was all she wrote. They died broke. One was a successful restaurant owner too.

You have to be somewhat wealthy to have anything left.

At the rate income inequality is growing, fewer and fewer younger people are going to inherent a lot of money - whatever that means - and those who do will get less and less. And of course your post negates the majority who are being negatively affected by this movement of capital.
