A Twitter account’s comment on inherited property has sparked a debate.
Many Twitter users disagree with the idea that inherited wealth is worth more than hard work.
It is a never ending debate about the generational wealth effect versus the role of hard work in achieving success. Many people have claimed that hard work wins in every situation. Others believe that generational wealth is the biggest factor when it comes to making it big in life. Even the film industry has not been spared from the issue that people often bash star kids for taking it easy as compared to other actors. Confused as to why we are pitting determination and inherited wealth against each other? Well, a Twitter account started the discussion by claiming that nothing beats generational wealth. What followed was a debate to beat all others.
Before we go ahead and show you the best answers, take a look at what was the tweet that kicked up a storm. A Twitter user named Shubham Sharma claimed, “Right now, I’m pretty convinced that no matter how hard you try, you can never beat generational wealth”.

The comment sparked a debate on Twitter, as many users disagreed with the message. “Completely disagree,” commented one account.

“Disagree completely. May be true to some extent. But even generational wealth doesn’t come easily. It involves risk-taking, long-term planning and hard work.”
Totally don’t agree. May be true to some extent. But even generational wealth doesn’t come easily. It involves taking risks, planning long term and working hard.- Shreyan Dani (@shreyan_dani) May 4, 2023
Some claimed that generational wealth is also a creation of one’s efforts.

Few people fail to mention how luck plays a factor in one’s success.
Chance is also a very powerful entity. Those who are in the game at the right time and circumstances win big. Warren Buffett has mentioned this many times.— Karavali Express (@Karavalicyclone) May 5, 2023
“The concept of wealth is to accumulate it for generations to come. Everyone wants a better life for their children than their own. Generational wealth comes not only with bank balances, but networks, early initiation to industry, pre-set Also comes with procedures etc,” wrote a user.

Some people questioned the logic of the tweet. One user wrote, “It’s like saying that no matter how hard people in India try, they will never be able to beat the British.”

Some took a zen attitude to the discussion, saying that people should work hard without thinking about the consequences.

Others said that any achievement is a combination of luck and hard work.
Money or anything in life is 50% hard work 50% luck. Some families are just blessed. Hard work will not overpower them.— Naturo (@Sadhjii) May 6, 2023
Looks like the discussion isn’t over yet. The tweet has prompted people to take sides and advocate for their point of view. What are your thoughts on the matter?
