re: Do you have expectations to one day get some inheritance funds?

Man glad I’m not the children of any of y’all.

Yes will get a sizeable inheritance

And yes, I will then pass along a sizeable inheritance to my kids.


Our family takes care of its own.

None of us asked to be born, so if your parents or yourselves make kids why wouldn’t you want to provide for them, to the extent that’s possible, when you or your parents are gone?

I find it odd that so many of you and your parents share the opposite sentiment.

The world is a shitty place and with the way things are going with this government, I am at least making sure that my kids have houses paid for and a little land paid for when I’m gone.

-Now the government may eventually confiscate private property, but at least I will have tried.

My parents divorced. Sizeable inheritance from dad, nothing from mom.

Nope.

i only know this because dad involved me in the funeral plans and after death financial details i need to take care of so i guess im whats called the caretaker of his finances.

You're what's called the executor of his estate

From the time I got my first savings account (2nd grade) my parents educated me about money and they were reinforced by my grandparents. Never waste money. Stop and make decisions after thinking about them.

All of them are now gone. Inheritances happened. I never spent the principle. The stock market and land values have increased.

I am far better off from having listened to the lessons they taught me.

My parents may leave me a tiny bit depending on how much they have to spend for medical purposes. They haven’t really done a lot for their retirement, so I expect to spend some of my own money rather than get anything from them. No way I’ll be able to watch them go into a shite nursing home.

My wife’s parents are apparently leaving us a huge sum of money. Not sure how much but it could be over a million before taxes. It’s interesting seeing it from a 3rd party perspective. My eyes popped open when I first heard about it...not going to feign integrity here. My wife though was pissed. She’s always been critical of how frugal her parents are and how they never do anything to enjoy their retirement. Won’t surprise me if she wants to give it all away to charity if the day comes as I think it’s a sore point in her relationship with her parents.

My parents are in their mid to late 60s, but look like they are in their 50s, and act like they are in their 40s. They are very active, energetic, and as far as I can tell they seem to be in good health. I hope they have a lot of life left and hope the money that they have worked hard for, and saved, is spent on something they will enjoy or given to someone they see as good steward of those gifts. Either way, I hope they do something with their money that makes them happy

I'm not really expecting much, but we have a little family land that I know I'll get part of. It's just enough for my son and I to kill a few deer off every year and I'll be happy with that.

My parents are divorced and almost 70, but I'm not involved in their finances enough to know if there'll be any cash to inherit. They do both have nice homes that are paid for, though.

I’d probably insist on keeping enough to send the kids to college and maybe some extra for our retirement, but we’re financially stable. No need to win a lottery that makes my wife upset for the rest of her life.
