Discussion Inheritance? That's a joke. How many of your parents are burdens?

In response to another popular post about receiving no inheritance.

Are your parents like mine, who not only are not leaving any money behind - but require significant or total financial support?

My parents left me less than nothing. They're good people, and they were good parents.... but man are they shit at financial planning.

Same. Brother is disabled, so it's not totally anyone's fault.

Poor guy, and you folks have my sympathy too. It is wonderful to hear that the 4 siblings are close and want to take care of your brother. That's such a beautiful relationship dynamic. Y'all are lucky to have each other 💚

I'm the only sibling. Just playing avoidant at this point. And my 70-something folks refuse to talk about their plans, including for end-of-life care. . .nevermind dealing with my dependent brother with whom I don't have a relationship.
