My parents are leaving 10% to charities, and another 10% for us to do same.

It might be on their list. Wouldn't surprise me.

10% - so basically they're making you pay tithing on it?

Cash? Very little. If it is an operating business that they are involved in, then the whole thing.

With 10M, I would hope I would have started some charitable foundation of sorts.

Typically $10m can go tax free.

Probably half. They'll get whatever's left that I don't give to the Church.

My FIL always says if there is money left when they die, he planned it wrong.

30% to kids, 20% charity, 25% to extended family and friends and 25% to other.

My wife’s grandfather tried that. Was sold off by the time he had been dead 2 years.

I guess everyone's different. 10 isn't much - 100 changes the scope a little.

Depending on the number of kids, $10m is not that much.

You can't retire at 35 on $2.5 million? Which planet did you say you're from?

From what I've seen, in Utah $500k will buy you much more than a modest home.

It won't buy you an extravagant home though. If I got 2.5 million, I'd find a

If you had $2.5m tax free, you could put it in income stocks yielding 7%
