Please reveal your problem with "Trust Fund Babies"

I'm interested whether it sounds more like Ronald Reagan or Karl Marx.

By definition nmmothing wrong with them.

But many are shiftless, lazy, self hating, left wing wackos who hate capitalism

"Free" money is never good for countless reasons.

I live in NYC and know plenty of these people. They live off the money their father or grandfathers made and have no experience with people in the real world or producing anything of value. The closest they usually come is being given an already successful business to "run".

I have only met one exception over the years. He completely cut himself off from his parents because he actually understood living on money he didn't earn doesnt build real character. In fact, it does the opposite every time.

I am well off but after what I've seen, I would never give my adult children a dollar more than they actually earn. For a special occasion, gift, wedding, etc maybe. But I would never bankroll their entire lives or pay for mistakes like the parents of many of my acquaintances.
