If you as a parent know you have more than you will ever need, why not enjoy the benefit of your gift vicariously while alive.The Blunt Bean Counterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11358868550072516313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402283548766807872.post-25229952387071111392014-06-26T10:46:54.065-04:002014-06-26T10:46:54.065-04:00I think I am more like a Vulture, remembering that...I think I am more like a Vulture, remembering that old T-Shirt from the seventies "Patience my a**!

My grandparents (both in their 90's) decided recently to jump generations to their 13 thirty-something grandkids who have kids of their own (mostly). Dividing it with my cousins will mean none of us are rich, but it's a nice surprise. A certain uncle won't see it that, and I expect to see some claws come out once they both pass away.Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09707861909013671695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402283548766807872.post-16938270040053909832014-06-23T15:24:52.953-04:002014-06-23T15:24:52.953-04:00Hi Michael,

One thing most of them had in common was that they were surprised the inheritance was so small. If you're going to take into account an inheritance in your financial plan, you'd better have a realistic idea of how much money is involved. Guesses based on family gossip don't cut it.Michael Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362529610470788243noreply@blogger.com
