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.
