[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What in the world is wrong with making sure that the money stays in the family? Money that was earned by the parents. Money is freedom and time. It's not about greed.

I come from a family of means going back generations. The money is preserved for future generations purposefully. It's not about greed. There is not lavish spending. It's about respect for those who left it and it's about security for the family who has survived them.[/quote]
It not your place to tell your parents what they do with their money.[/quote]

And definitely not OP's DH's place to tell his FIL (from whom he would not inherit) what to do with his money.[/quote]

I am not saying OP should tell her dad what to do. I am saying OP should not be naive. She needs to have a conversation with her dad about it.

And no, the stepmom and kids are NOT family at this age when it comes to generational wealth. That money was OP's mom's too. [/quote]
She can have all the conversations she wants. Dad is going to dance to the tunes of the woman he’s currently sleeping with.[/quote]

That maybe, but that would be my dad's choice. I am just not sure I agree with treating grown men like they are kids, and that we need to make sure they do this or that. Early on I did raise with my dad the possibility of him rushing into things and not thinking things through. He told me he had in fact thought things through and that being with someone who was close to the family already will mean that my mother's memory remains alive. I happen to agree, but even if I didn't at some point you have to respect other people's choice in doing what makes them happy. Disagree but commit. [/quote]
