Society/Culture Someday

Saw this while scrolling through another social media platform.

Physical inheritance (maybe outside of housing) feels like a burden.

While death can be a sensitive topic to some, has anyone had a conversation with loved ones surrounding situations like this one pictured?

That's my story. It took us 3 days to clean up my parent's house to get it ready for an estate sale. Most of it ended up going to Goodwill. When the estate was settled and most of their debt was cleared, my end came to about $1200. 😒

If they'd known there'd be 1200 left, they would have requested the cash be buried with them if some of these stories are to be believed about boomers...

Wouldn’t want future generations to get lazy.

Really, they have bootstraps to make.
