[quote=Anonymous]OP, I get this, but I don't get this. First, you are really counting your chickens before the eggs hatch. There is a very strong possibility that you will inherit far less than a million if anything. You need to be saving now in case your coveted nest egg doesn't hatch. And if MiL lurks on DCUM as her retirement friends suggested she do for the the laughs, you are busted. Second, DH and I have discussed doing this with our kids, but we have multiples of the 6 million you mention here. We would only do, however, when they are established and have demonstrated an ability to live within their means. I do agree that early money may make much more of a difference in a kid's 20s/30s than when on their parents' deathbeds, but your MiL's amount doesn't sound like it meets that threshold and you need to reframe your expectations going forward.[/quote]
