Hi exps  I ceertainly agree with you that people who blow their money on anything and everything just to spend it all are not on the right track.  But on the other hand I know of pensioners who share the same teabag , eat frugally and save on petrol by staying home just so their money is left for the kids.  Most kids nowadays earn far more and have lifestyles unheard of by the parents and probably could do without their so called inheritance but if there is anything left when parents die, money, home, car etc by all means they would be welcome to it.

If my son thought that we were going without in order to leave him something he would be ropeable.  He won't even let us lend him money without paying interest.

It makes me want to do something for him even more.  I grew up poor left school at 16 and got where I was without influence or contacts, the way my son turned out is my and my spouses greatest achievement.  If pride is sinful I will take the punishment for being proud of our son.

Totally agree with you KitKat...just spend your money the way you want and whatever is left over can go to your beneficiaries.

But as for going without just to leave a large inheritance for others to spend is the silliest thing I have heard of.

Some advice here that may be of interest;  how to have your money sorted at various stages of your life.
