However, the baby boomer generation (probably the most selfish parents in history) inherit an inheritance from their parents (usually real estate), because that’s what that generation did back then, which is now worth a fortune, were given the worlds resources on a plater and took everything they wanted leaving very little behind, with most resources scarce now, and most things worth an arm and a leg to purchase now, and the environment a mess with a big bill attached to clean it up, and now selfishly leaving no inheritance to future generations. How do they repay what they were unselfishly given from past generations or the world?

Sorry, people will be remembered for their selfishness, if they were given much, and leave little or nothing behind for others.

I was not given anything, but head knowledge. I don’t mind working for my own, don’t need a hand out. A gift is just that, a gift and not a right. If someone is fortunate enough to receive something like an inheritance great, I just hate to hear people speak of it like they own it or are so entitled. True, people will be remembered for their selfishness, but it is theirs to keep or do whatever with it.

Thanks for stopping by.

Just recently, things have turned the corner with a vengeance, and it’s nice to know that we can return a little of her financial help by supporting her now.

I dread to think of the day when my mum won’t be here to hug us all. Money won’t bring her back then, and I feel really sorry for those who care more for that than their own parents.

Sara, that’s nice of your mom to do. Better than fighting.

TOPolk enough IS enough, but not everyone sees it that way.

However as my mom is a state employee, I am entitled to her retirement benefits when she passes away. I’m not in any hurry to get those benefits, but with the way my state does things sometimes, I wonder if they’ll hold true to their word.

Jay, not with everyone, but some kids expect their parents to take care of them forever, even in death. I think they’ve done enough, time to fly.

Meleah, me neither….for whatever reasons people may have, some expect it (inheritance). Some lose sight of what, at least I think it is, a gift. Gifts are unexpected.

Lana, my sober father is probably pissing away everything he got from his mother or ever saved and I know he’s not leaving us anything - he’s selfish - My mother on the other hand has always given to her children, so I tell her not to leave ME anything, to go and enjoy her money, travel. She worked hard for it and she taught me well enough. She left me something that can’t be spent, lost, or stolen….a pretty darn good example and a hard act to follow. I’ll be just fine without her money. Of course, she is leaving me/us something, but that’s because she doesn’t listen, but if there were nothing materially, she left plenty in other ways.

Sandy, enjoy the book. My princess picks the winners and she picked entry two.

Corrina, lol. Hey what size are those shoes?

Let’sB - You’re alive! Thanks for letting me know.

Robin, It’s a little sad, when some forget all that their parents have done for them in the past….it’s still not enough. They do feel entitled just because they breath. I don’t get it either. Of course most parents will take care of their kid(s) and leave them something, but it does get to me when it’s expected and even fought over.
