I think you misunderstood the point. It's not that I don't want others to have my stuff. It's the act of gathering that I am against. This was a reply to my post about why it was so important to own a house instead of renting, saying that its was to pass on to the family. To me, that does not seem like strong enough reason. People will find their own ways anyways, with or without a house passed on by their parents. At best they will spend the money from the sales of a house, on vacations, or maybe help them pay off some debt.
You're arguing with him about what you think should be, but they're talking about what is. Generational wealth is important and can set up future generations for health and happiness. That's it. Nothing more to it. You don't like it? Go get em, cowboy.
