For generations I moved on with my heir, taking the entire family fund with me because hey, technically I earned that money right ;)? I agree with you though, so what I do now is move the heir to a new place, not following them and then change households through edit town. That way all the money stays with the parents and my heir has to start from scratch.
See now, I always stayed on the legacy lot with the heir. Until I played a challenge called the Drifter Challenge in which each generations heir left their parents home with literally nothing but the clothes on their back. It's how I learned to build since they start on an empty lot with no money. So fun! But the reason I stopped playing that one was that you could only play the heir. You couldn't play spares or return to see how the parents were doing. It was depressing to suddenly get a notification that the other sims had passed away! Same thing with legacies. The spares move out of the house and your heir might visit them and invite them to parties but you're cut off from them. Which is why I've been moving away from challenges even though it's been the main way I've played for almost 4 years!
