    It’s fair in a sense that his father may have left him inheritance

    The boomers made their way, then pulled the ladder up behind them. That’s privilege.

      For the overwhelming majority of the US population the notion of an ‘inheritance’ has not nor will it ever cross their mind.

      Be bitter about the lack of social safety nets or any investments by those in power into the poor and middle class.

      Not because you aren’t getting something from a loved one you somehow believe you were owed.

        Oh, I hate this country with a passion.

        Dad just wastes his money on dumb shit. He’s like a teenager in a 65 year old body.

        He never spent as much on us growing up as he does and always has on himself.

        I’ll be sure to find the seediest nursing home I can when he can’t afford to live on his own anymore.

  It’s his money, not yours

    Yeah, and what if I choose not to have kids to save my money?

    It’s my money, not his.

      You’re not obligated to have children - just like your dad isn’t obligated to leave you an inheritance.

        Exactly.

        So why are my boomer parents so insistent about grandkids?

        It’s expensive enough for just 2 of us to live. Why bring a 3rd into the situation?
