The Inheritance Expectations
News-feed-national reports indicate that a considerable portion of Millennials and Gen Z believe they will inherit substantial assets from their parents. A recent 2024 study highlights the disparities in expectations and actual plans:
- Expectation vs. Reality: Many young adults expect windfalls, yet their parents often express different priorities.
- Financial Gaps: The dialogue between generations is crucial for bridging these gaps.
- Planning for the Future: Parents may prioritize spending or investing over leaving substantial inheritances.
Consequences of Mismatched Expectations
The impact of this generational expectation mismatch can be profound. Young individuals may plan their finances and life choices based on projected inheritances that may never materialize. The conversation about inheritance needs a shift to prepare both generations.
