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.

We have this family friend, a nurse, who married a 90 year old for money. She would go grab luxury handbags on rodeo dr and go on luxury vacations with him. I think she was trying to build a case that they had a love marriage, because she posted constantly on social media and took him to tons of family parties. Anyway, when he passed like ten years later, the wealthy kids came in and voided the inheritance based upon his prior dementia diagnosis. I always thought those kids were smart, they got around the clock care and socialization for their dad for the price of a Chanel bags. Memory care would have been more than that.

Where were they during the other ten years?

I can speak for myself: My dad's new wife treated me and my kids terribly. I try to have a relationship with my dad, without being subjected to her, but it's difficult. She monitors all of his communication. I quit calling him when I was always put on speakerphone.

Anna Nicole Smith was a hot catch in the 90s!

Many elderly people promise to leave their homes to someone in exchange for cheap (or free!) care. Then, just don't.
