Looking for the proverb "Parents work hard, our life is so comfortable that children become beggar" I heard the following proverb that was said from Japanese (if not Chinese). > If our parents are working too hard, our life becomes very convenient up to a point that causes their grandchildren become beggars. Is there such a proverb in Japanese? If yes, what is that?

It's not a well-known one, but we have.

* "Parents toil, children ease, grandchildren beg."

Also with many variations:

*
* etc.
* ‌‌
"parents (wear) sandals, kids shoes, grandchildren boots, great-grandchildren would become bare feet"



But more famous sayings with similar moral are:
