re: Anyone have a trust fund or receive money from parents?

My parents were not rich when my brother and I were growing up, but were/are always kind to my brother and I.

When they got richer, they were/are generous.

One time they gave us both a pretty large check and said, “spend it on something that you would not buy yourself.” This is when I joined a private golf club and bought brand new clubs. I wrote them a thank you note, about 6 weeks later, my dad died.

Life is short. Be a man or woman worth missing.

I’ve funded my kids Roth IRAs for years. I figure that is a gift that will keep on giving. IF you are able to, giving some wealth away during your life is nice. TIME is a gift all of us can give our loved ones. The good times is what will be remembered most.
