[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She also doesn't get how expensive life has become for families over the last 30 years and how her daughter could really benefit from a bequest.

Whatever. Life was always expensive for families. Do you know what a tv cost in 1975?

I think it can be, yes. But I do struggle when parents have lived large, partially due to an inheritance, then turn around and spend so much that they are at risk of their kids need to support them.

Look, my parents did inherit some modest amounts of money from my maternal grandparents but my parents didn't have a lot of money. They worked hard, didn't earn much, and had a SN adult child at home with them. None of us siblings expected we would receive anything monetary.

We do have money and plan to leave what we can to our children. No, we won't live like peasants to do it, but we are not going to be frivolous either just because we can.[/quote]
