[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]

Both of my boomer parents inherited millions from their greatest generation parents. My dad died first and left everything to my mom, except for the stuff that was in generation skipping trusts. My mom is of the attitude “I’ll spend it all”. I tell her to enjoy life, but make sure she has enough to take care of herself because I’m not paying for her care if she spends all of money. [/quote]
