Yeah Gen-Xer here, and while I have a cut of some property coming to me eventually, I'm afraid casinos and cruise ships got just about everything else. I don't hold it against my dad but it's definitely not enough to make me rich. Not even close.

The things boomers spent on astound me. You could legitimately just get your own flipping boat for the cost of a cruise, and use it forever. They could have at least willed you a boat for Pete's sake

A cruise just seems like the worst parts of boats. They don’t even let you drive
