Lucky for me my parents were both “I didn’t save anything for retirement, my kids will take care of me when I’m older”, so I don’t have to suffer through this.
“We aren’t gonna give you any inheritance”
“I’m not gonna give 2 fcks about you when you become too old to care for yourselves”
I’m not saying that my family’s like this but sounds fair to me…
In other words, the rich are eating the middle class. They will buy up all property and normal people will be permanently priced out of the market. They have no reason to sell.
Unless things go terribly wrong (and they might) my daughter stands to get a second house and a quarter of a million $
No offense my guy but a quarter mill and a house will probably be easily eaten up but your end of life care. Regardless I hope you have that set up in a trust for your daughter so she doesn’t have to pay taxes on it if there is something left.
“End of life care” is entirely optional. I’m not going to waste away in a hospital bed, that’s for sure.
Ahh yes, the genereation widely know for being obnoxiously entitled, making obnoxiously entitled memes.
Which generation and memes do you refer to?
Apparently said generation is also stupid.
You’d be completely wrong.
My father would endlessly yap about his retirement plan and 401k and all shit like that, as if the US Dollar is going to still be a currency in circulation in 2030.
That and my parents will likely be alive longer than me anyway.
Stark self sufficiency and individualism is their philosophy. Too bad they forgot what their parents gave them so they could reach that point.
Let me tell you, as someone with potentially a bit of wealth to give out when I kick the bucket, every week with my kids I get this idea at least once.
I want my parents to enjoy what they’ve earned and to have enough money to handle expenses of aging. I’m an anti natalist but I don’t fault then for doing something that was expected by everyone at the time which was having kids, and they really did their best. I have dedicated my life to gerontology and helping the aging population. If humanity is going extinct, let’s go out with compassion.
I’m pretty sure all of us have given up on any boomer giving us anything anyway
That should work out since most boomers didn’t get anything from their parents either.
What’s the problem? One of the common complains on Lemmy is that they claim to ban inheritance, for everyone. So this would be the logical conclusion right?
*will
Mine didn’t. Gave it all to my golden child sister.
Good for her
My grandparents from one side of the family left me nothing, and the other left two weeks rent. They were all amazing people and it’s still this bad.
My grandma is so caring and she’s always active to do the necessity for her loves ones when needed
I eat far too much avocado toast to save for retirement or college. I’m happy to spend my twighlight years drinking myself to death under a highway overpass.
My parents are land owners My grandfather owns a mansion My uncles are business owners and landlords
I have two siblings I have no clue what I’m going to be given and this will stress the fuck out of me
At least I have confirmation that they’ll buy me a place for me to stay in Istanbul and those places aren’t exactly cheap either
But what about my house in Denizli, apartment and shops in Eskişehir, farmland near Muğla, and the spa & hotel within Kütahya?
Its actually a good thing if these people are spending their money and not hoarding it and putting it in savings accounts to pass down. It liquidates money in the economy and should boost it. That said… If where you are taxes are shite and are redistributing the wealth properly it will all just end up in some far richer’s bank account.
I’m relying on my inheritance from my mum to get a house, but that’s mostly from selling her house, I’m sure her actual savings will be quite low by the time that comes around.
Haha, that was long spent before I was out of grade school.

Yeah, one of my parents likely isn’t getting anything from theirs, but the other did, and I’m sure they’ll have it all spent. My wife’s family is the same; the generational wealth ends with her parents. We’re fucked, as a whole generation.
