Parent's money, spouse's lack of ambition.

I have no idea if he even knows what I'll inherit - And it isn't going to be enough to make us rich. But comfortable. But again, if both parents need ft care for 20 years I imagine they could run through a lot of their money.

For one, my parents could live another 20 years and run through all of their money! I've always assumed they'll live long, and that I can't count on their money. And I've never told my DH how much money they have. But is it possible that he's taking it easy because he is expecting a windfall when they pass away?

What sort of “best friend” puts such poisonous thoughts into a friends head about their marriage? No decent person would ever say someone is underperforming?? Freaking weird all around.

Did you marry him to make money or because you loved him? Unless you had some really whacked vows, I doubt he promised to maximize his income over all parts of his life for your benefit.

+1 this is not a friend, to you or your marriage. Tell her to f**k off.
