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.

    I grew up in the boat of not ever expecting any type of inheritance. Then my dad remarried and it is a thing, and that discussion that makes me really uncomfortable. I am in the first camp. I don’t feel any sense of ownership or entitlement to that money.

    She wants to go on a fancy trip to Bali? Good for her.

    New car? Awesome.

    He raised me, that was his responsibility. He did a great job and that’s all I needed.

    I am sure there will be something left but I’m not hedging all of my bets on it. Work bonus stays with me, though.

    I’m sorry if this is worded weirdly; my dad passed away two years ago and I am still getting used to the past tense.
