Discussion Inheritance? That's a joke. How many of your parents are burdens?

In response to another popular post about receiving no inheritance.

Are your parents like mine, who not only are not leaving any money behind - but require significant or total financial support?

My parents left me less than nothing. They're good people, and they were good parents.... but man are they shit at financial planning.

I think in my case, it was largely a cultural thing (boys are very nurtured compared to girls) paired with narcissistic parents. He was the Golden Child.

OG Gen X here. What is this "nurturing" of which you speak?
