[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Yes, we will further discuss and I think it is a matter of me to "nudge" him to go higher than $2M.

Just for a little history, before this, he was intent on funding a foundation to the tune of $2M.  This was a couple of years ago, when we had A LOT less money. ...DH...you are right. He is a really good and generous guy. But I am mama bear and want to protect the kiddos.

Estate is about 14m and OP/DH might have 2-3 kids.  DH /OP came from humble backgrounds and he wanted to set up a 2m foundation [scholarships in his name?] and doesn't want to benefit his children and grandchildren ...wants name on a foundation  for ego?

Any grandchildren exist?  Why call adult DC's kiddos? Is he competitive with his children?  I did this so you should also?  [/quote]

OP here. Two kids ages 23 and 16. We're retirement age already (younger child was adopted and we had older child late in life).  So they are my kiddos--sorry if that term offends you in some way. Obviously no grandchildren yet.  I am not sure what point you are trying to make here.  DH is very successful in career and has always done charitable works, including starting a very successful non-profit that helps underprivileged kids access private school through scholarships. So not sure why you feel need to trash my husband, whom you don't even know.

Not trashing but he is thinking in terms of 2 children and not any future GC.  He also has set up a non-profit for scholarships and could expand that now which is a worthy endeavor.  [b]Why wait since each year students could be benefitting from this?[/b]   Kiddos led me to believe they were in K-12 or just barely adults whch is the case with 1 at 23.  [/quote]

You are quite judgmental. You don’t know how much we contribute to the nonprofit each year. I dismiss any further commentary from you. [/quote]
