<p>Back to the inherited money issue, I do sense in some of these families we have gotten to know that the more recent generations have not really plowed money back into the family coffers all that much. There’s a vibe that the family money softens the edges of their professional income lives somewhat but that these families aren’t earning big capital themselves. And occasionally, I think I sense a certain anxiety among some of them. </p>
<p>I do not envy them in the slightest. And many have been very sweet and welcoming to our DD and to us. It’s been interesting.</p>
