hah, glad that I disgust you.  Yes, I think you[b] owe [/b]your kids to try to pass on something after you are gone.  That doesn't mean you don't raise them to be self-reliant with good education and a good work ethic.  I help my sisters and my parents out unconditionally.  They can count on me and I can count on them.  We are a family.  I'm 41 years old.  I certainly plan on leaving my kids an inheritance and that would please me much more than spending a lot of money in my old age.[/quote]

Am I reading this correct?  You OWE your kids?  I think it is the other way around honey.  You OWE your parents for bringing you into this world and that means taking care of them in their elderly days and not bugging them about money.  What makes you think they won't live until they are in their 100's?  They need that money to live on.  You remind me of my aunt, I remember her walking through my grandma's house and pointing to all the things she wanted after they died.  She also hounded grandma about the will and how much she could expect.  In the end she go nothing, my grandparents left all their money to their grandchildren.  And many parents do just this, so watch out![/quote]
