[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up thinking i was poor. Never went on a family vacation (though my mom drove us to see an aunt in another state a few times for "vacation"). There was no "back to school shopping" for new clothes - when I did get something new, I was told to leave it in the car and bring it inside when my dad was asleep. Never went to summer programs. Paid for some music lessons with birthday money. Started babysitting at 12 years old so I could buy my own clothes and shampoo.

It was a miserable childhood and it took years to get over my fear of spending money.

They were sitting on millions.

It was infuriating when I found out. F them. [/quote]

How did you find out? Do you talk to them now? Do you expect to inherit anything? Asking sincerely. Your story is fascinating. [/quote]
My sibling and I were organizing stuff for donating after my dad died. We found documents for accounts at a few investment firms.

My mother knew about the accounts. I do talk to her, but we are not close.

I hope we'll each inherit something, but I don't count on it. [/quote]
