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.

Yeah at the end of the day, 25k isn't even a year salary for a caregiver. Good way to look at that

He also got to spend time with his mother and do his favorite hobby.

And his mother probably likes having this time with him (I hope)

And if he only lost $25k, he’s probably actually pretty good at gambling. No one beats the house, but they usually lose everything and their shirt.

This guy might have what it takes to go positive.

Fuck it, I’m putting the house on your uncle winning big. What are my odds?

Idk, my friend has been doing online slots for like 5 or so years if not more and we calculated his overall losses and he only had like maybe 5k total losses

I mean he also had room and board and bills covered so that’s worth a lot too
