Such is the nature of capitalism. The winners are the ones who were clever enough to be born into generational wealth.

Yeah I'm not proud. When housing market slows, canada runs ad campaigns to entice immigrants to come here who inevitably get burned.

Generational wealth isn't everything though. Lots of broken families. You have to be lucky to be born into money, and also a stable family

Oh trust me, there are plenty of unstable poor families. Quite a few more, it stands to reason. Broken and rich beats broken and poor any day.

You should see what happens in unstable rich families when a matriarch or patriarch dies. The family can become quite poor real fast

You should see what happens when the same thing happens in a family that was already struggling to begin with.
