[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your husband sounds like a d*ck.  Basically, like the kind of guy who derives a lot of self-pride from having done well, and now doesn’t want to help others.  I get not wanting your kids to be lazy or entitled.  But wtf was the point of making all that money?  To leave it to some bs charity that will forget him 6 months after he’s gone?  Good grief.  Tell him to set up an education trust or something like that.  That way the kids and grandkids still have to work and be productive to get anything.[/quote]

OP here. Honestly, you're the one who sounds like a d*ck. Besides setting our kids up for success with private schools and universities, we have helped disadvantaged kids through his non-profit...you have no idea.  I don't know where you are getting this impression other than the fact that you are jealous of our success and generosity.  Your tone, is frankly, over the top and bordering on unhinged.[/quote]

I'm with PP here. My inlaws are doing the same thing. And they are leaving a boatload more than your husband--think ten figures--all to charity. They put some money in trusts for their kids, which the kids now have, and it's helpful, but not life changing. And all the rest is going to charity and a foundation so they can secure their "legacy." It's actually laughable, because nobody will remember who they are a year after they are gone. Those charities do not care who they are. Those who do don't even like them, but act like they do because of their money. Why people care about their "legacies" when they'll be dead is beyond me. My legacy is my children and if I could leave them some security, then that's what I would do. My in-laws, on the other hand, are leaving them nothing. [/quote]

Hey that's your choice. And the more I hear from some people on this thread who are on the side of greed, the more I realize maybe DH is onto something.[/quote]

NP. It’s not greed to want financial security for your children. [/quote]

Oh and $2M isn't financial security.  Ungrateful gen z'er.
