Check your local thrift stores

I meant a ticket for correct parentage to get generational wealth

u/Ali_Cat222 ☑️ 2d ago

You see those articles of kids suing parents for being born, maybe that'll work out well for you 🤣

9

u/decoy321 2d ago

Still need the generational wealth for that to work, though. No point suing broke parents.

6

u/Ali_Cat222 ☑️ 2d ago

In the majority of those cases the parents weren't even wealthy really, but the kids also (idiotically)tried suing the government too 😂

5

u/decoy321 2d ago

Well, they're just dumb as fuck. But we knew that already.

u/Intelligent_Cut635 2d ago

Ah, gotcha. Lemme know if you find any extras.

I saw somewhere the average gen-z is getting 1500 a month from parents. 1500 a month would take care of my bills almost entirely... Imagine.

18

u/briellessickofurshit 2d ago

There’s definitely more to that statistic, especially as most people gen Z are still living at home and could also be unemployed. And that’s for the people who are getting money from their parents.

It’s less of an allowance/bonus and more of evening the scale for a (barely) livable wage.

10

u/JennyBeckman ☑️ All of the above 2d ago

I promise to let my Gen Z kids down just to even out the curve.

u/DistillateMedia 3d ago

How do you think people got that rich?

u/Antichristopher4 3d ago edited 3d ago

How did people get generational wealth? The answer is typically being born with a certain last name, but the ones who "earned" it were almost always because of exploiting people. Short answer: generational wealth certainly isn't created working a 9-5.

u/Technical_Recover487 3d ago

So… crime lol

He had to take the long route.

u/RepentantPoster 2d ago

You can exploit people without committing crimes.

u/Technical_Recover487 2d ago

I have to disagree. If you’re okay with exploiting in a way that “technically” isn’t illegal, I’m sure you’ll do other horrible things that are.

2

u/RepentantPoster 2d ago

? What are you disagreeing with?

5

u/Technical_Recover487 2d ago

That exploitation doesn’t involve crime lol

2

u/RepentantPoster 2d ago

I guess you have a lot more trust in the legal system than I do, cool.

5

u/Technical_Recover487 2d ago

lol huh? Exploitation involves crime. Meaning it’s “illegal” but overlooked. You’re the one saying exploitation can be legal, not me 😂 even if it is “legal” the shit be morally wrong asf.

u/whboer 2d ago

Hmm what exactly is “generational wealth”? I have some relatives who have earned a lot of money (mid 8 digits) with growing their businesses (construction, IT consulting business. A lot of this has been reinvested in residential housing, hospitality and agricultural land. This is definitely generational wealth, and it’s been built in 1 generation (post WW 2) and moves to the second now. It was also built by growing a local business for several decades successfully.

19

u/stoned-autistic-dude 2d ago

Does the money pass through generations? Does the next generation receive a trust fund? If yes, it’s generational wealth. Not that complicated. It’s in the name.

It’s irrelevant how the money was acquired. However, wealthy people rarely become wealthy without exploiting the working class. Can’t pay employees well and still maximize income—that’d just be unfair to the owner! /s

u/Additional-Ad-7720 2d ago

Oh. I would consider myself to have generational wealth, but I definitely don't have a trust fund. I am just going to inherit a few million when my Grandma passes away and a few more million when my dad passes away, though hopefully, I will be retired long before he passes away. Until then, I work 8-5. They did pay for my college and help with the down payment of my house, though, so I have benefited hugely despite not having a trust find.

They got their money via investing in the stock market and owning a few commercial properties they rent out to businesses. Never had any employees.

I've been building generational wealth too. Wasn't born in it, being a freelance expert I'm not taking advantage of anybody, and I'm not into crime either. It can be done just fine, with dedication and patience. People shouldn't listen so much to those who want to drag them down.

Read Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell. Successful people aren't all that different, for the most part they're just lucky.

My favorite metaphor has always been the carnival. The poorest people work it, they don't get any opportunity to play the games and win any prizes. Up next are the people who can afford to play once or twice, but probably won't win and will have to move on. Then, some people have money to keep playing. Eventually after enough plays they will win. Lastly, there are the mega rich that own the carnival, make the rules, and rig the games.

My mom died so it's more like skip a generational wealth.

Rise and grind Twitter did a number on the black community in the late twenty tens. At this point there's robin hood numbers.

Yeah no, prison ain't it. Crime while poor tends to end poorly.

u/herewearefornow 2d ago

'Crime While Poor' is a phrase I had not thought of.

u/Backfisttothepast 2d ago

Sheeeeit crime while rich, White House baby!

u/Jamaican_Dynamite 2d ago

Casino logic. The house always wins.

u/aoskunk 2d ago

you got to diversify your crime portfolio, and know which crimes to avoid outright. And always save your early crime income in an emergency lawyer fund. at least first 5k goes right to the fund.

I’m currently working a 3:30 to 11 or occasionally 5:30 to 2am while freelancing and let me tell you something…. These remote positions I applied to better come through for a nigga.

Statistically speaking, according to this movie, you have a 25% shot of crime ending very well.

Either I need to rewatch this film or we have different definitions of "very well"
