  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?

        The discussion wasn’t about them being insistent on grandkids - it was about you being insistent on inheritance. If you think they’re being unreasonable, then it’s worth recognizing that your own insistence might be just as unreasonable.
