I like your posts, and appreciate the commitment to keeping things updated.
My folks are very environmentally conscious, to the point where most of my inheritance has been given / will be given to various environmental charities. I'm not mad - it's their money, they earned it, and trying to save the world is probably a better way of spending it than I would have done.
It does mean I can feel a bit comfortable about my slacktivism though.
They gave a good start in life. It's up to me to make the most of the opportunity.
Honestly I wish more families would take this approach. It would remove the problem of inter-generational wealth which is a huge problem in class divide.
There'd still be some discrepancy due to better assistance at the start of life, but at least it wouldn't be the unabridgable gap that exists now between the working class and extremely wealthy.
