Yeah, but his goal in life was to raise his family the way he was raised. Dad went to work, mom stayed home and took care of the kids, have a nice little house with a dog. He found his dream but worked his life off to get it. He raised a family of five, two of the three kids are out of the house to my knowledge, maybe even the last one, I don't know. He lost his sister about four years ago and then his brother-in-law about two years ago, and the guy was loaded. I don't know what he left my friend, but I'm sure it was a nice chunk of dough. If anybody deserves it, it's him.
I just don't see that motivation in younger people these days. As per the OP, it's gimme, gimme, gimme. People owe me, it's my right that they do owe me.
