"Without an inheritance in hand, my mother practiced independence. To others expecting a patrimony, I recommend the same." later on she mentions the presumed inheritances to be left by the boomers. personally, I think most of that below the ultra-rich will be eaten by end-of-life care. and for myself, I think I got a few hundred bucks from my grandmother, some jewelry & dishes from my other grandmother; Dad's life insurance (?) helped keep me from racking up too much college debt. I'm not expecting anything more than that.
