I've heard this exact complaint with my married peers.
The " last frontier" is an option... I do wonder if the boomers and the silent generation had the same complaint against their parents owning stuff forever until they died. It just kinda skips a whole generation because they live so long. The middle generation is serving them until they finally inherit it at 70 and already their kids are grown and wanting something. I don't know if it's a modern phenomenon or if it's always been that way and fueled frontier growth...

People used to go to the frontier because the inheritance was shared with so many siblings. Now, there is effectively no inheritance, unless your parents are gracious enough to give you the money before they die. I know people who inherited with they were in their 70s and died childless soon after, and it's like... this is so pointless.
