This is not luck.

Your grandfather chose your grandmother and so too did your parents.

Your parents deciding to do something is not luck either.

I want my children to have an inheritance, the actions I take to ensure that are ongoing deliberate choices to build wealth over having fun.

Yes, so it’s completely out of your children’s control whether or not you chose those decisions. Therefore, they are lucky you are doing that. They have zero impact on whether or not the actions of their grandparents resulted in generational wealth.

Nonsense.

What action did you take that caused your grandpa to invest in real estate? If none, it is lucky for you that your grandpa took one action over another, as you had no impact on the event.

You can call it luck as many times as you like, I simply disagree.

If my dad builds me a shed it is no more lucky than if I build a shed.

We should leave this here, I feel that we just have different relationships with our parents :)
