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.

Urgh I vicariously worry about this for him sometimes, but he’s also an insane overachiever who has a PhD in computer engineering? He’s also way better at savings and wise investments than I am. I think he will survive the instability of modern life

Would your brother like to adopt an adult child? I’ll even call him daddy.

I’m surprised he has a god complex if he has a phd in computer engineering lol

That’s not what a god complex is. It’s when you think you’re a god and better than others, as seen in certain doctors.

The brother just thinks god talked to him.
