[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think it's other people's business.  I'm not a trust fund baby, but my parents and in-laws give us a nice check every year, plus smaller checks here and there.  We don't need it (BigLaw) but it's nice.[/quote]

Why is it "nice"? If you don't need it, why accept money you don't need?

I'd never accept money from my in-laws. It always comes with strings attached.

I do have an issue with trust fund babies looking down on those less fortunate. I don't know why inherited wealth gives them a feeling of superiority, but it does. I have relatives in upper NW who inherited a LOT of money (on both sides) and are extremely snotty and condescending. I don't get it. What did they do to deserve their nice house, nice vacations, nice summer house, private schools, country clubs, what?? They work, yes, but make very little at their jobs (social worker and p.r. for a non-profit). I don't mind them having all this money and spending it, but I do mind the condescending attitude.

This doesn't add up. Inherited money, snobby, yet working in social work/ non profits? Sounds like they're doing something for society and not just sitting back. And you sound like a jealous, bitter shrew.[/quote]
