Brehs, it's happening. Big piece in the NYT today about it and how it will widen the racial wealth gap.





Good article, thanks for sharing. However the next 30-40 years could be a lot more volatile with inflation, rising US debt, AI-driven automation, etc. The government and Fed won't be able to bailout and stimulate markets to the same extent without rising massive inflation. That could result in many assets like stocks, housing, etc becoming extremely volatile and losing value rapidly like in the 70s. Time will tell.

…from their parent’s homes.

The transfer of wealth to our white millennial counterparts is on the horizon as their parents fade into retirement/grave...right as real estate booms. White lady at my job who can barely put together a coherent sentence in an email just inherited her mother's home. It was worth 400k 5 years ago, she just got it appraised at 800k. I swear this is the silent killer of our people.
You need to watch Toine talk.

home ownership is the gateway to generational wealth. Always has been.

As it stands right now, my wife and I's 2 sons stand to inherit:

1) Wife's mother's place
2) Wife's mother's aunt place in downtown Charleston SC that mother in law received
3) Wife's father's home (currently in the will going to my wife' sister but she has no kids and has our 2 sons as her beneficiaries for all her shyt)
4) Wife's father's parents place out in the country (land and home) where her father is in sole control of (bought out his siblings). My wife already is on the deed and in her dad's will to receive it
5) My mom's home
6) Whatever properties and monies my wife and I have

Gotta teach them how to manage it and not give shyt away. Lease/rent the properties and invest the monies they receive.

Home ownership definitely has been the gateway to wealth for decades, but that's not guaranteed in the future. The rise in asset prices since 1980 has been fueled by massive increase in debt. It's unsustainable. Imagine if we had the '08 financial crisis and 2020 Covid financial crash and the government's hands were tied as far as intervention. Things would look a lot different right now.

Inheriting homes already paid for is different. Keep it up, pay the taxes, rent/lease if you don't live there and eat

It comes in the form of property.

If you want your kids to win, instead of cashing out, pass down land and buildings to them.

if they don't wanna deal with that, they can liquidate the assets and put the money into investments as well. nothing wrong with either option.

Rather them keep the ones they get from their grandparents. If they wanna sell a property, they can sell the one my wife and I have and use that for investing.

The ones our parents own (forgot my mom's spot) are very valuable in the locations they are located in and the residual income literally could have them not working if they play their cards right.

I'm surprised but not surprised that the article doesn't talk about the Silent Generation who had the highest rate of home ownership, but mostly bought their homes in the midst of Redlining Rules. My parents are of that generation and were not able to buy a home in certain neighborhoods or suburbs of Detroit. Therefore the asset they pass on is worth less than their White counterparts. So while the article focuses more on the racial disparity of home ownership amongst Baby Boomers, even if it were the same amongst the Silent Generation, you'd still end up with a disparity of generational wealth being passed down.
