[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you sound smug and mean...especially about the cousin with the health condition, as a PP mentioned. Everyone knows money doesn’t buy happiness or health. Hell, my husband has a chronic health condition that no one would want “for a billion dollars” and we’re not even close to rich. I’m pretty sure most of this forum’s posters know that their kids’ lives are not going to be perfect bc of money, but they’re leaving behind whatever they can to ensure their children have the strongest financial foundation they can provide. I don’t begrudge them that.[/quote]

+1.  I don’t think there are too many adults thinking - omg I’m providing my kids a $10 million trust fund, their lives will be perfect. Most adults are not as naive as you think they are — they realize that bad marriages, recessions, and health issues can happen to anyone including their rich kids. But honestly you’re insecure and kidding yourself if you think money doesn’t make lives easier esp big money. It provides the parents (and kids) the security of knowing that if they lost their job or a pre existing condition caused health insurance cost to triple or they had to spend big money to see a top specialist that doesn’t take insurance, it would be no sweat financially. You’re kidding yourself if you think that kind of mental security isn’t priceless. It’s not all about flying first class and staying at the Ritz in Paris.[/quote]
