re: #293 sizzleRI

What I don’t understand about the estate tax is that I do not consider my parents’ money mine. Its not. They earned it. They have done enough for me. If they want to spend it all while they are still here that is what I want them to do. Enjoy it. Its not my money and I don’t “expect” it.

Indeed.
My dad, the saver, has in the past apologized that he is not going to be able to leave my sister and I as much money as he had planned when he goes on to his great reward.
It would never had been enough to be taxed, but still a nice amount.
BUT WTH dad….enjoy your money, go on trips and buy nice stuff for mom.
They are already generous and provided what we needed to make good lives for ourselves.
