Sound advice, Mel. The best gift my parents gave me and my sisters is that we never had to support them. Both needed long-term, end of life care that drained their assets. In the end, there was just $4,000 left along with a few cherished possessions. We used the money to host a Las Vegas birthday girls’ getaway for my unmarried sister’s 50th. That’s all the inheritance we needed. Our parents gave us massive financial, emotional, and spiritual support when we were growing up. Consequently, we didn’t need an inheritance to boost our net worth. We could take care of ourselves. They didn’t owe us a thing.
