[quote=Anonymous]To be honest, I've never really thought much about inheriting money from my parents. I will be THRILLED if they are able to pay for their own care to the end (they are 79 and declining). We already pay for care for DH's parents and have been supporting them for 18+ years. We have told our kids not to expect anything from us. Mostly, because I've seen cousins squander their lives waiting for the windfall, and I want my kids to be in charge of their own destinies and make their own way - the way my husband and I have. However, if we have money left over, we will gladly pass it along to our kids. And we hope to treat them (and eventually their own families to beach vacations, etc.). But I don't think we will plan our retirement with the goal of giving our kids an inheritance. [/quote]
