[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an only child so I'll inherit responsibility as well as money. I've saved for my own retirement since I was a teenager. I've talked about it with a handful of career women I know in a similar boat. But, mysogyny is real. A lot of the married women I know have been overt in telling me they consider themselves financially better off than a single woman like me. It seems to feed their egos to assume I'm broke. And that's fine. A guy I dated casually apparently Google stalked my parents after he found out I was an only child and got drunk one night and admitted he was primarily "financially attracted" to me. Since then I've been borderline secretive about what my parents have, or what I have. Luckily I don't have an ego and a ton of people really are very performative about wealth. So, if I bum around in jeans and a t shirt (because I'm work from home) and never do my nails (because my hobbies include gardening and painting) they assume I'm broke. Had lunch with an older female friend who was talking about a clutch of women she knows from the country club (I never joined) and apparently the ladies of the country club didn't want me to be involved in some charity project they were doing because they assumed I had no money. We both sort of shrugged over our margaritas. So no, not changing my own habits based on future inheritance. When my parents pass away I'll probably get much more serious about charitable planning.
