My approach to finances is to only count on what I can produce myself.

Inheritance, under some theories, will become crucial to future generations.

True. Already got the kids Roth IRA going for that

cougfanz

Roth IRAs are supposed to be earned income. Are they working already?

On the contrary, I expect to be hounded by creditors.

I think I expect based on their wealth, but I won't make or break me financially

TheLoneCougar

So if they left it all to your other siblings and gave you nothing, no problem?

Honestly I don't think so, but I haven't been in that situation.

To my point below, I wonder if they would enjoy giving while they're alive...

CougaReb

I plan on living within my means and spending the last $ I have on my burial

I have 8 siblings and my parents keep refinancing their home/vehicles

Inheritance is weird

A guy in my ward told his dad, "I hope the last check you write before you die bounces."

This is what my dad told us in a family meeting after he retired.

Expect? No. Hope for? Yes. But I'm hoping it will be a looooong time away

No. I expect I'll have to clean up a bunch of debt/bills. Should be fun.

Why would you have to pay for someone else's debts?

Conan

9/28/16 3:07pm

Because Citi-Bank doesn't believe in the 2nd Article of Faith

Correct. They hope people are dumb enough to assume someone else's debt.
