[quote=Anonymous][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.

[b]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.[/b]

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]

Have any cited stats for that?   Definitely not the case with my boomer parents, who "earned" there money by getting a multi million dollar inheritance.  My mom (before she died) would proudly tell me not to expect anything because she was going to "spend every damn cent!"   Now that my mom has died, my dad is actively seeking a new marriage so his new wife can get all his money instead of his kids (yes, he has actually said that is his prime motivation for remarriage.)[/quote]

Makes sense. If I had an adult kid with your attitude (compative and negative) I'd also get a new spouse and blow every cent of it enjoying life. [/quote]
