[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm still confused about the hostility.  Altogether, we get about $100K from both sets of parents each year.  When our parents pass away, me and my sibling will inherit their estate anyway.  So they are giving some of it to us now.  Should we not inherit their estate?[/quote]How about
One parent passes away
Surviving parent remarries

You inherit nothing.....

Not impossible[/quote]

love this!

May it be this way for many on this board.[/quote]

Love this? What kind of deluded person writes that? You are an asshole rich or poor. Your nastiness is evident through your post.[/quote]

It is what it is, you fool.

Do you think your parents OWE your their money?

They don't.

I hope you get nothing.  I really do.  I also don't care how rich or poor you are.  YOU are the asshole for being so goddamn selfish.

You could use an extra dollar or two for anger management counseling.[/quote]

So I am angry b/c I will NOT take money from my mother, who's a widow?  Yes, she has enough to keep her safe and healthy.

But apparently, b/c as an ADULT, I expect to be able to care for myself and my family, I am angry.

really?

Guess who's going to care for my mother when she becomes incapable of helping herself?

yes - I will be the caretaker.

Yet I'm angry, right?

There are assholes on this board, and I'm NOT in that category.[/quote]

You are angry because of your tone. The intergenerational passing on of wealth, and I am talking about real wealth in terms of tens of millions of dollars, has been the norm for centuries. Entitlement to one's family wealth isn't the issue, this has been happening since Plato; it's laziness that's the problem, which has also been happening since Plato. I think this very issue is specifically addressed in The Republic, something with Cephalus, though I cannot remember for the life of me.[/quote]
