[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love how we boomers are supposed to refrain from spending our kids’ god-given inheritance but if we run into geriatric financial woes then the kids have a god-given right to push us off the cliff.[/quote] Not only that, but they want their inheritance NOW. If I had said that to my Greatest Gen and Silent Gen parents, they would have laughed at me![/quote] Spending all their money stupidly is also something members of the Silent Generation did -- I have Boomer and Gen X friends whose parents touted their bootstrappy gumption for years only to reveal in their 80s and 90s they they hadn't done enough planning and saving to support themselves. And these were people whose parents had made it to their 90s, so it's not as though their longevity was a surprise. They just thought they'd somehow earned those cruises and nice cars and time shares, which were their idea of the good life. [/quote]
