Scotty IMO most people would own their own home if they could an inheritance would make that so much easier.
Imagine a Gen Y inheriting enough to buy there own home, they could do so and have what they pay in rent as disposable income.
Sure some will squander but I think most would use the opportunity to set themselves up for life, keep in mind having a family is on most people agenda and having a family home is usually part of that.
