[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think some people are just self-focused. Assume you and your siblings are all gainfully employed and no extenuating circumstances, your parents probably feel that they've earned it and deserve some indulgence. It's fine as long as they're responsible about planning for their care so the money doesn't run out. It is jarring to hear that from them though, b/c the underlying message is that they don't care about the kids that much. [/quote] OP here - and this is definitely part of it. My parents have a nice lifestyle, but not excessive in any way. They took us all on a really nice vacation this last year. We have a close relationship and always have. Which is why it's weird to hear my mom talking about "you can't take it with you." I'm wondering if it's more of a defense mechanism type response to thinking about downsizing and going into a continuing care type community.[/quote]
