[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here.  I am also finding this thread very funny - the final taboo!

I grew up in an area where a lot of people have trust funds.  Of course no one talks about their own, only estimating others!

I just love how everyone who has one stresses that its existence does not preclude working or having to manage money. But having things grad school paid for and a down payment are big, big things for most of us.  Of course the rich get richer.  I'm sure there are a lot out there who might be embarrassed at the exposure of a trust fund, since the perception might be that it negates the "self made" image.

I agree that it's just as great a gift to have gone through college and grad school with no student debt.

But that and then later coming into a considerable amount of money in your 40s or 50s (or whenever) does not preclude having to manage money in many/most cases.  In fact, I spend more time on that now than I did when we had a comfortable upper-middle class net worth ... unless you're willing to "set & forget," which I can't afford to do even as fortunate as I am now, it takes more time to manage more money.  There may be less stress in many ways but there are more things to stay current on.  Yes, first world problem, but still a necessity.  :idea: [/quote]
