To each his own, but I don't understand why you are promoting squandering your own family's wealth creation. I've surpassed my parents in education and hopefully one day in earning power, but that does not mean they should spend every dime they have made just because their children are capable of doing well without their help.
I earn more than my parents did, but being old school they saved and didn't enjoy. What do you have against you parent enjoying the twilight years? Make your own way.

So they can't enjoy retirement without going broke? That may be true if your parents saved $200k.

My mother lives a better life than 99% of the people on this planet and never touches her principal but she had great parents and my father made sure she was set before he passed away. Trust me, she isn't missing out on ANYTHING!
ETA: My sister and I won't get a penny until she passes away, which is fine because I want her to be comfortable.
