This works for me. My dad died when I was 19 and I got a little insurance money, but he left his significant estate to his 2nd family. Fucking pos, burn in hell.
Wife’s dad died a few years later. Left her a little, but when you’re 20-something, you have no idea how to manage it. Had a relative help manage it, she did a great job of picking losers so it slowly dwindled down to very little in about 10 years.
Wife’s mom was an invalid ward of the state, we had to pay for a bunch of her expenses. No insurance or assets to speak of, all her shit went into a dumpster as most was garbage.
My mom is left and shes never met a dollar she couldn’t spend. My brothers and I are giving her money and food so she can stay in her house, but its in a shitty neighborhood and has many stairs. She has already said she won’t go into a home, I guess that means one of us has to take her in. She has lots of ugly old Ethan Allen furniture that she thinks is worth a fortune, but its just ugly old furniture.
All we got from this was a little money when we were too young to manage it and expenses from anyone left.
I am so envious of friends who have parents that put something aside for them. They will have an actual retirement. I will be working until I’m old as shit.
