Quite a number of whom seemingly see it as their life's work to keep the party going until they drop, and to leave nothing but pocket change, Walmart jobs, and a mountain of debt as their grandchildren's inheritence.

The youngest 80% have essentially nothing. It's all at the top, the oldest 20%. They inherited a utopia and they are determined to spend it all before they die. These commercials are just offering them another way to extract just a little more from whatever they have left. The message is simple:

Don't pass down your property, don't pass along anything! Take another vacation, buy another luxury car, party!
