bad person for “expecting”
Yes, you're a loser if you expecting anything material from anyone, and how much money the relative might have is irrelevant. Do I hope I get my parent's Persian rugs? Sure. But I spent more time typing that than I have worrying about it for the last ten years.
Stop being a bitch and wishing for external forces (lottery, big tax "refund," inheritance, etc.) to cover up for your shitty financial planning.

This is my take also. It never ceases to amaze me how when someone dies it's like the leech-parasites come out the woodwork looking to get something. The very ones who had no impact on the deceased life in a positive way in ages, if ever at all.
I've never gotten much in the way of an inheritance other than a tie tack, pinkie ring, 1950's fiberglass fishing rod and a cheap single shot 20 gauge break down shotgun that came to me after my dad died when I was just 8 yrs. old.
I still have the rod, tie tack and pinkie ring but the shotgun gave up the ghost many years ago.

quote:Okay, hypothetical situation for you.
EXPECTING? yes, you are an entitled arse if you EXPECT anything.
Your mother is deceased and your father is worth $5 million. You have a very good relationship with him. You visit often, help him when he needs anything, talk on the phone often. You’re middle class and struggling to save for retirement.
You’re telling me you wouldn’t be disappointed if he died and left you nothing?
Expecting might not be the “right” word for inheritance. Maybe “taking it for granted” would be a better way to describe it.
If a wealthy parent, who knows that you’re not financially secure died and left you none of their fortune, wouldn’t you ask yourself why they didn’t?

not my money, not my concern. if I am struggling to save money then that is on ME, not my parents to bail me out by dying. just take your L on this topic

Some people can’t admit this.

No one should expect anything just because its common practice.

Depends.
Died and left it all to charity. I could live with that. His choice.
Died, but late in his life some whore 30 years younger (younger than his own kids) swoops in the last couple of years and gets her hooks into him. His own kids get cut out and she takes everything. Pissed, and wondering if my own father ever gave a crap about me. His reputation amongst his own family tarnished forever.

You’re nothing but a virtue signaling idiot.
An honest person would admit that they would be hurt and disappointed if their parent left them nothing if they were wealthy and you were just getting by.

Maybe it's because im the one who is well off and have people in my family that think i owe them something. So yeah, my opinion on this remains: ANYONE who expects, takes for granted, or any other word gymnastics you want to say it, they are 100% assholes.
Posted on 11/18/25 at 3:04 pm to bhtigerfan
The only I request is that the deceased don't live me a bill to pay because of their refusal to plan ahead.

If you’re wealthy, there’s basically three types of family members you will have.
Ones that love you for who you are and enjoy spending time with you, and truly love you, but deep down inside, expect some inheritance from you.
Ones that don’t really love you, but treat you well because they’re hoping to get some inheritance if they kiss your arse enough.
And lastly, ones that don’t like you and treat you like shite, but still expect some inheritance because “they’re family.”

Make it clear that you're going to try to spend every dollar doing whatever it is that you love after you retire.
My kids (between 11-15) are each going to get half of whatever retirement and cash I have left, but I'm not going to tell them, or my ex-wife that. I don't plan to have a lot left over, but I also can't exactly plan when I'm going to croak.

everything in my estate goes to my wife. What she does with it after that is none of my business. I neither want nor expect any inheritance from my parents and I hope they both bounce their last check to the funeral home

My wife is in this position. It's really weird to have knowledge of how much her father is worth. She wishes she never had to find out, but he has dementia and my wife got put in charge of everything.
I think "expecting" is a bad mindset to have. That word signals entitlement as if you're owed something despite not working for it. I think taking the mindset of "managing the family estate and family wealth" is another.
Inheriting millions can be like winning the lottery. It ruins a lot of lives. So don't expect it.

We discussed the term “expecting” earlier as maybe not the correct term. I suggested maybe “taking for granted.”
But it’s fricking crazy that some people think that children of wealthy parents are pieces of shite if they expect to inherit money from them.
It’s a total rejection of normal human behavior that’s been around for numerous centuries in most societies.
People inherit things from their family.

I don't really care either, but in fairness, we don't have children nor have either of our brother's had them so far.
So.. whether it went to random friends' kids who named us godparents is not really a massive concern for me. I understand and agree with OP's point more when it comes to your children.
I think there's nuance though. If I die when my husband is still like 50-55 (and if we had kids).. can you really call a woman he remarries a "gold digging whore" even if she is younger? I mean, he's likely got decades left of his life left. Why would that woman not be deserving of his money?

I really thought I would get a large inheritance. I was wrong.
