Lucky for me my parents were both “I didn’t save anything for retirement, my kids will take care of me when I’m older”, so I don’t have to suffer through this.

    My parents are land owners My grandfather owns a mansion My uncles are business owners and landlords

    I have two siblings I have no clue what I’m going to be given and this will stress the fuck out of me

    At least I have confirmation that they’ll buy me a place for me to stay in Istanbul and those places aren’t exactly cheap either

    But what about my house in Denizli, apartment and shops in Eskişehir, farmland near Muğla, and the spa & hotel within Kütahya?

    Honestly, I’m young, and I know older people that would spend it better than their kids.

    That’s not everyone, of course, but maybe instead of blaming people born at a slightly different time we should focus on being mad that there’s non non-hereditary path to wealth.

    They spent it on groceries then voted for an orange dipshit .

    I mean I’m not crazy about inheritance anyway for some reason it gives me the jeebies.

    This is my parents. I found out from a relative that after my mom suffered an injury, that her husband was spending $2000 a month on fast food. Literally TWOOOOO THOUSAND dollars on fried chicken a month.

    When the topic came up of them writing a will, they said that I’d be getting the family pictures. That’s it.

    In the same way that we should stop consuming media that blames everything on millennials, we should stop consuming media about how uniquely difficult it is for millennials.

    Complaining about the younger generation, and the younger generation complaining that they have it uniquely difficult, has been the experience since the invention of teenagers. It was my experience, and it’ll be the same experience when millennials are my age.

      I’m sure that the younger generations were complaining right before the fall of Rome too, they needed to get over it, what a bunch of losers.

    Lol my dad left me everything he had when he died. So, I got a truck.

    When my mom goes, my sister and I might get to split a house we don’t want that’s on its third or fourth refinancing.

    I guess if your parents don’t have an inheritance to give you just never consider not getting one to be a problem.

    Yeah, one of my parents likely isn’t getting anything from theirs, but the other did, and I’m sure they’ll have it all spent. My wife’s family is the same; the generational wealth ends with her parents. We’re fucked, as a whole generation.

    “We aren’t gonna give you any inheritance”

    “I’m not gonna give 2 fcks about you when you become too old to care for yourselves”

    I’m not saying that my family’s like this but sounds fair to me…

    Suckers I inherited a cane from one side and a watercolor of a dog from the other. Behold my wealth and cry into your lentils. My lentils are salty enough.
