Is generational wealth a good thing?

So many have told me stories of how their happy family fell apart, when the time arrived to consider an inheritance from one who came before. The first story I remember is Jacob and Esau (Genesis 25).

Genesis 25:26 states that Esau was born before Jacob, who came out holding on to his older brother’s heel, as if he was trying to pull Esau back into the womb so he could claim the birthright as the first born. So, the issue seems to be of Biblical proportion, written in the Word from the beginning.

I am more blessed than I’ve ever been to have my own home. Though, it’s still pretty much a wash to zero, except for 4 months equity, and that’s likely zero, too, after what I charged to my credit card to plant my own very small garden. The only time there’s been an Insurance Policy on my life, was Officer’s Insurance when I worked for a bank over 20 years ago. (That even seems odd now, comparing the amount to the salary I was paid. What did they intend to cover with the money?)

I wonder if we are all worth more dead than alive for most of our lives… except for the time we can work, traded by corporations for the bottom dollar.

Generational wealth is the primary source of advantage over one and another in the world that Human created. We were once closer to being equal, and now the billionaires own the world, while the rest of us are just slaves from 9 to 5 (if we’re lucky).
