[quote=Anonymous]I will probably inherit upwards of 5 million dollars after my parents die. I'm an only child. It could be more...maybe up to 10 million? You wouldn't know it to look at my parents. My dad is incredibly frugal. 
BUT...my parents don't really approve of how I turned out, so they won't tell me anything about their finances. I have to guess. And it's not like I'm a convict. They just don't think I'm serious enough as a person, and they believe that blood is thicker than water, so they won't tell my husband either. I got into a huge fight with my mother last year and she started making comments to my husband about how she would cut me out of the will. Sometimes I wonder if I would put up with some of their craziness if money wasn't a factor. For all I know, they might leave me nothing or, more likely, put it all in trusts (I know that some of it is in trusts for my child and even if my child had children) that I have no control over.

Sometimes I fantasize about the money. They really don't use any of it--and it's not that I think they should be squandering it--but they could get a little more enjoyment out of life with using some of it. But then I stop myself because I honestly never know if I'll really inherit it or not. My husband and I don't plan on it. We save for retirement as if we won't get anything.

But they did pay for my education and helped with a down payment on a house. They did not pay for my child's private school, and don't pay for any regular expenses. [/quote]
