Anecdotal counterpoint: my friends and I are slowly being given all that stuff we weren't allowed to touch, by our parents who preserved it to "pass it down"....and it's mostly stuff we have no space or need for. A china set? Antique clock? None of us wants it.

That I get. I have no desire to keep my parents crap but I also don't want my kids destroying my stuff while I can still enjoy it. There is no expectation for them to "inherit" it just respect that I want to keep it. If they actually want any of it great but I'm not forcing anything on them
