[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The article is biased, IMO. Skewing against the horrid boomer generation.

Where was it ever written that adult children should count on significant inheritances and parents should conserve/preserve their assets for their kids to enjoy after their deaths?

Most Boomers did not inherit money from their parents, the Greatest Generation, who were Depresssion-era.

The money Boomers have they earned. Many of them (working blue collar jobs) also put their kids through college, which they themselves didn't have the benefit of.

Yet their adult kids begrudge them going on trips and enjoying what little time they have left? What a sad world we live in. [/quote]

Exactly.

Very few people understand inflation when it comes to retirement. They always forget that prices keep rising and today's dollar won't be worth the same in the future. I include most of DCUM in this.

Your MIL wants to spend all her money, great. You are not obligated to pay for her expenses either. The sister is off in la-la-land. Not your problem.
