[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 605390, member: 805"] [SIZE=3][FONT=comic sans ms]I haven't read any of the replies but wanted to chime in here. [/FONT] [FONT=comic sans ms]It is the perfect right of every individual to do what they want with what they have earned or inherited. No one is under any obligation because of blood connection to provide for later generations. [/FONT] [FONT=comic sans ms]If someone has lived a financially successful life because of hard work (or anything else), they are entitled to spend every penny on themselves when they retire or slow down. It is their right. They have earned it.[/FONT] [FONT=comic sans ms]For anyone to assume that they deserve an inheritance is actually more selfish than someone spending all their money.[/FONT] [FONT=comic sans ms]That's my two cents.[/FONT] [FONT=comic sans ms]Now, I don't plan to live that way because, out of love and care for those after me, I would leave what I could. But, if I want to use most of it to travel and pamper myself in my later years, that's my right.[/FONT] [FONT=comic sans ms]This is how families turn on each other.....I have seen "greed" tear what I thought were loving families apart. Your mother's inability to connect emotionally is a much greater, and sadder, issue than the money. I live in that world as well. [/FONT] [FONT=comic sans ms]*Sharon[/FONT] [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
