[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents and older relatives have some sick joke that if we’re inheriting all their money we have to deal with cleaning and selling.

It is what it is. I think by 85, people should have their homes parsed down and cleared out. Like spare room closets empty, attic empty, basement empty[/quote]

Really they should just move into their graves - sleep in a coffin, only wear the thing they want to be buried in.

You're right. Wishing my parents didn't have a garage full of broken car parts is the same as wishing they were dead. You're very smart and not at all a tedious POS.[/quote]

So help them get rid of that stuff now, or figure out who you're going to have to call when the time comes. What do you want them to do? You think your parents are suddenly going to become completely different people, becuase you're planning for their death?

The entitlement on this thread is astonishing.[/quote]

What the actual F does the above complaint have to do with "entitlement"???? People throw that label on anything they don't like to read on here. [/quote]

The people who complain about having to clean out the houses are presumably the ones who are inheriting those houses (otherwise, why bother?)

So, yeah, if someone is giving you a few hundred grands, either put in some elbow grease or share some of that bounty with people who don’t mind rolling up their sleeves.  Expecting to get a free house just the way you like it the definition of entitlement.

You are welcome.[/quote]

Didn't wan the house, and it cost money to get rid of it. But that's fine. My mother couldn't deal with it, so I did it for her after her death.

I don't plan to leave that burden for someone after I die. I know in *your* mind that means I have to sleep in a coffin, but no -- it just means I have a tidy uncluttered place, and things will be easy to sort when I'm gone.

Isn't it lovely not to have to resort to hyperbole? Try it sometime.[/quote]
