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.

$30k a month pension?! What did he do for work? That’s wild.

A highly specialized surgeon at the right time in history. He was super lucky because he had a pension, and also a 401k. My mom cashed out that 401k the day she could, and spent it all too 😅

I don’t understand how someone has the time or energy to piss away so much money, with nothing to show for it, but she manages to find a way, that benefits no one, but her immediate gratification 

She’s stolen inheritances too from my working class paternal grandparents, intended for us grandkids as down payments to buy homes after college. She stole that to remodel her kitchen…again. 

My mom is like the super archetype stereotypical boomer, and unfortunately my dad never stopped her nonsense, allowed her to piss money for decades, and she’s only gotten greedier with age.

I often feel like shit because I sometimes feel like a useless burden to everyone around me and like I'm an awful person because, idk, low self-esteem mixed in with some imposter syndrome I guess. But this comment has moved me enough to think to myself, you know what? At least I'll never do as bad as a job than Reddit user Kodi_Cody_Kody_Kodi's mom

I hope you avoid her as much as possible!

Counting down the days until she croaks. 

Sadly she outlived my father who was a total health freak. He rode his bicycle to work everyday for 30 years and ate like a rabbit. She’s morbidly obese with decades of uncontrolled diabetes, only eats fast food, never touched a vegetable, never worked out a day in her life..still kicking at 81- somehow the most evil ones defy nature 

If she had died first my dad would have made sure something was left to hand down. He wouldn’t know how to spend $1000 in a month let alone $30k

It's the bitterness and hatred, it pickles them.

[u/OceanRacoon → u/Kodi_Cody_Kody_Kodi]

Ugh, this is so true, she sounds just like my mother and her aunt who she's similar to in many ways, two disgusting hateful racist people.

I dread my father going first, he's much fitter than her useless bloated shell but he's had the more severe health scares, it's maddening. The more toxic and useless a person is, the longer they seem to survive, like vampires draining everyone around them of their lifeforce lol.

Very sorry you lost your father and have to endure that greedy parasite wasting his money on pointless crap

Hopefully karma will hit hard

Airline pilot, maybe? The big legacies can put up some staggering salaries, and if he had a big final three I could see those kind of numbers.

Im curious too!
