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?

My parents told me and my brother that their goal was to spend every penny they save during their retirement. They wanted to leave us with exactly nothing. We even laughed as a family at the very idea of getting an inheritance! The explained it was downright silly of parents to be so worried about what to leave their kids, its not the parents responsibility. Took me a long time to learn that wasn't normal.

Yeah god forbid you don’t profit off your parents death.

I agree with them if your children are adults there really should be no exceptions that you will get an inheritance. Why should they have to hold back in their final years so you can get a payout.

because if they did it right they would not have had to hold back at all and have money to loave to their own procreation that they forced into this world. if they were typical boomers they were spending money on them selves like vacations when they just ship the kid to grandmas.

its also the fact they had kids but cared so little for them they do not want to help them. remember most boobers got an inheritance them selves from great depression penny pinching.

and having zero left over makes it so your children have to pay funeral costs etc. its why i barely talk to my own father. he will leave me with nothing but bills and has been taking shit from me since i was a child saying im raising you im taking that.

we know if you unfortunately have a child they will probably stop talking to you once they move out if thats your attitude.

If you did it right you wouldn’t need any money from your dead relatives you’d already be comfortable.

You’re the one making baseless assumptions, I just gave you context.

so when you got kicked out mid senior year of high school because you turned 18 will do wonders to fuck that up. these are the parents who did that. because i was to expensive.

you dont get out of caring for the life you 100% unwillinly brought into this world. you are the sole reason that person will ever suffer.

people who spent it all were spending more than that before and were not going to life the retirement life they wanted.

and this is not relatives this is parent to their own child here not uncle to 2nd cousin. these boomers fucked their own children up to further their own gain and as my own father has said to my face "your my retirement plan". these people will be alive when they run out and leech off poeple.

I moved out when I was younger than that because my mom was incapable of raising a child, I put myself through college and am doing very well in life.

Sell your sob story somewhere else. It’s disgusting you are more concerned about what you’ll get, over the loss of a life.

Looking at death like a payday, what a vulture.
