[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should graciously accept their gifts. Some people like to know where their money is going when they're alive. [/quote] +1. I recently had a frank discussion with my parents, who were mad neither my sister nor I would accept a large gift (we do fine, I thought they must be scrimping in order to give us gifts, etc.) They said they would rather see us enjoy the money than bequeath it to us and "miss out" on feeling good about funding whatever project we spend it on. So, we are taking the gift and sending them a picture of the home improvement it will fund. My parents don't intentionally try to guilt me but it happens. I agree with PP that it will happen whether you take the money or not.[/quote]
