That's our way. My husband and I 18 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 2: have been married for three years now. 19 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: I have a daughter fifteen female, and he has a son, 20 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,959 Speaker 1: twenty four male. I am friendly with my step son, 21 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,840 Speaker 1: but we're not close. He has a biological mother who 22 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: is a perfectly fine woman. I'm not here to take 23 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: the role of his mom. 24 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 4: Ohp, he's a lady. 25 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: OPI is, yes, a step mommy my late husband, my 26 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,839 Speaker 1: daughter's father passed away when the daughter was six years old. 27 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 2: We both contributed to her college fund. My daughter's paternal 28 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 2: grandparents have also contributed a large amount. Right now, that 29 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 2: fund has about one hundred and eighty thousand dollars. 30 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 3: That's a big college fund. That is like, she's she saizable, 31 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 3: she can go away anywhere with that, that's right, like 32 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 3: said maybe usc, yes, that's only probably only two years. 33 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 3: Just go to Harvard at that point. 34 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, my daughter is extremely bright. And I'm not just 35 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: saying that because I'm her mom. Sure, op with your lies, 36 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: I see right through. 37 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 3: Everyone says their child is so bright and so smart 38 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 3: and so cute and everything. 39 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 2: But maybe she's an idiot. 40 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 4: Maybe she's an idiot, dummy or genius. We will see. 41 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: I truly believe that she has the capacity to go 42 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: to an Ivy League school, and her teachers have said 43 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: that she has that potential as well. Oh wow, okay, 44 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: that's awesome, that's good. Yea, So maybe she hadn't agree. 45 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: Maybe I believe you, and I don't want any costs 46 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: holding her back. Our income would be too high to 47 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: get any meaningful financial aid. And while there are a 48 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: few merit based scholarships out there that she will be 49 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: applying to, we don't want her to put all her 50 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,839 Speaker 1: eggs in one basket and just hope that she gets 51 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: it when it's so competitive. My current husband and I 52 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: have separate finances. He doesn't contribute at all to my 53 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 1: daughter's fund. My step son is struggling with a heroin addiction. 54 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. He has stolen money, jewelry, heirlooms, and 55 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: electronics from us for drug money. I understand that an 56 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 1: addiction is a disease, and I personally paid for an 57 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: outpatient detox for him, which was around one thousand dollars, 58 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: which failed. His father then paid for an outpatient rehab 59 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: program which costs sixty five hundred dollars, which also didn't 60 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: work because he barely showed up. He promised us that 61 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: he'd do better next time, and he needed another chance. 62 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: So I split the cost of another sixty five hundred 63 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 1: dollars out patient rehab program with my husband, which seemed 64 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: to work during the program, but he relapsed as soon 65 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: as he got out of it. Well, I have spent 66 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: so much money, time and energy and it hasn't helped 67 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: at all. My husband and my stepson want to try 68 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: a sixty day out patient rehab program, which will cost 69 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: thirty thousand dollars. Ooh that is maybe this is this 70 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 1: is a tough situation. Yeah, I mean this it's like 71 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: basically this kid's life. Yeah, it's kind of life and death. 72 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: And of course the dad is like whatever, probably going 73 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: to try whatever he can do. Right. 74 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 3: I have a childhood friend that actually I'm not close 75 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 3: with him anymore, but apparently he's like on the street 76 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 3: kind of like just like addicted to drugs. Yeah, and 77 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 3: they did a sixty thousand dollars treatment and it didn't 78 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 3: really work. It's your I mean, yeah, so you're and 79 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 3: he's like down to pay anything, like sold his house. 80 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 4: Yeah that that. It's rough. 81 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 2: It it happens. It happens, really hard situation. 82 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: I had absolutely no idea where they were supposed to 83 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: get the money for that, considering the thousands and thousands 84 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: of dollars that they'd already spent and the fact that 85 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: we no longer had anything of value in our house. 86 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I guess from him stealing. Oh my goodness. 87 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 2: Wow, they want to use my daughter's college fund, which. 88 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 1: Shit, here it is, yeah, here it is. This is 89 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: where I sat, which to me is absolutely off limits. 90 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 1: I feel like, it's a completely unfair to punish my 91 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: daughter for my step son's addiction, unfair to my late 92 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: husband and to his parents. But frankly, I don't think 93 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: spending thirty thousand dollars will work. My husband thinks I'm 94 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: an asshole because I'm prioritizing my daughter's education over his 95 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: son's life, and he believes that medical needs come first. 96 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,919 Speaker 1: He then asked my daughter if she would be willing 97 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 1: to use thirty thousand dollars from her fund to pay 98 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: for her stepbrother's rehabse which I feel is very It's 99 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: just like going over another's head.

My daughter later told me that 108 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: she didn't want to give her stepbrother the money, but 109 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 1: she felt so guilty, And I'm furious at my husband 110 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: for emotionally guilt tripping my daughter like that. 111 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 2: Yeah. 112 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: I mean, this is a very, very, very tough situation 113 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: because I do, on one hand, totally understand the husband's 114 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 1: perspective of like I am trying to do anything I 115 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: can to help my son, but you can't, like I think, 116 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 1: just break any boundary with your partner, try to get 117 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: this money, you know, Like. 118 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,919 Speaker 3: I think it's really unfair too.

I don't think it's it's 167 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: definitely not as clear cut as like, oh, he's just 168 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: choosing to do this kind of a thing. But at 169 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: the end of the day, there's like something that just happens, 170 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: like an organ just fails for no reason other than 171 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: just natural causes, and and this this situation. So I 172 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: think it's a lot more reasonable and probably a lot 173 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: more worth compromise because I think the other thing op 174 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: is thinking about is what happens if sixty grand fails 175 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 1: and I've already opened the door for them asking to money, 176 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,199 Speaker 1: and then it's the rest of it. 177 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 2: So it's almost like the tip of the iceberg, and. 178 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 3: I could eat, I could easily see it not working 179 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 3: and then going down another rabbit. 180 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: Hole one hundred percent one hundred And I don't think 181 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: that's fair to everyone who invested in this. 182 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 2: It's unfortunately not fair. 183 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know what, maybe it's not like OPI 184 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: hasn't given contributing money to help. And it's also like 185 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: I know that OPI was shutting it down, but like, 186 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: I feel like there would be at least more room 187 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:12,319 Speaker 1: to discuss if the husband had not gone around. 188 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 4: In a total a hole move by going. 189 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 2: Total a hole move. 190 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: And now this poor girl who, like you know, it's 191 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,079 Speaker 1: not just her again, I think it's like all of her, 192 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 1: her dad and grandparents. Like now she's like putting a 193 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: picture on it on a sixteen year old, like on 194 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 1: a teenager. 195 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 4: It's really fucked up a lot. 196 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: Not okay, But again, I think we would really love 197 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: to hear from every all of you guys, if you've 198 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 1: experienced something similar, if you have any advice that could 199 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,719 Speaker 1: help anyone that's going through this, we would definitely appreciate 200 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: that in the comments below. 201 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, get your answers in the comments, and let's get 202 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 3: into this next story. 203 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 2: Let's do it. 204 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 4: I just told my kids they are inheriting nothing, and 205 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 4: they're furious. Am I the a hole? 206 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 1: Listen as the wise Gary Vee says, your parents, fuck 207 00:09:55,320 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 1: your parents, but also make money, fuck your children. How 208 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: did we go left so quick five seconds into the episode. 209 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 4: Huh? All right, let's let's keep going. 210 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 3: My wife and I are both in our mid forties 211 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 3: and work full time. We have three children, twenty female, 212 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 3: seventeen female, and eleven male. We've both worked hard to 213 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,679 Speaker 3: get where we are in our careers, and thankfully that 214 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 3: means we're able to provide a good life for our kids. 215 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 3: We aren't rich and we don't live beyond our means, 216 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 3: but our combined income is three hundred thousand dollars per year. 217 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 2: There you go, that's. 218 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: Pretty good living, decrease taxes, being married, primo primo. 219 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 3: Now here's the thing. If we want the traditional route 220 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 3: and saved heavily and worked another twenty five years, we 221 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 3: could properly retire at a decent age and still leave 222 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 3: a sizable inheritance for our kids. The thing is, we 223 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 3: don't want that for us or them. We worked hard 224 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 3: to get where we are, and we intend to enjoy 225 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 3: the rewards of what we have before we're elderly. We 226 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 3: also don't want our kids to be counting down the 227 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 3: days until we die so they can get our money 228 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 3: and never work again. Plan is to retire about the 229 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 3: time our son graduates from high school. We'll have enough 230 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 3: money saved up to live comfortably and travel more, and 231 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 3: we intend to use all our money, every last bit 232 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 3: We have a rainy day fund, of course, and we 233 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 3: fully plan to use as much of her money as possible. 234 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 3: They'll get a portion of what we have left once 235 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:24,199 Speaker 3: we both die, but they shouldn't expect anything. We've never 236 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 3: really brought this up with any of our kids. For one, 237 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 3: it's our money and our business, and for another, they 238 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 3: never asked. We did, however, explain that we aren't giving 239 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 3: them handouts as adults. We'll pay half of whatever their 240 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 3: school ends up costing, and that'll be the last major 241 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 3: money we ever give them. I recently had a minor 242 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 3: healthcare pre cancerous mole. I'm fine, and the topic came 243 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 3: up with our oldness about what our plans are. I 244 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 3: explained the money situation, and this really upset her. She 245 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 3: accused us of caring more about partying than her and 246 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 3: her siblings wellbeing. I explained that we'd rather them make 247 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 3: their own way in life like we did and not 248 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 3: wait for a handout. She told her sister, and now 249 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 3: they're both upset with my wife and I, not just 250 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 3: for the inheritance, but for not telling them sooner. I 251 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 3: don't think there was any good reason to do that. 252 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 3: It isn't their business what happens to other people's money. Still, 253 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 3: I'm open to being wrong about that, so is OPDA hole. 254 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: So it is kind of this weird perverse incentive where 255 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 1: it's like, hey, once I die, you get a shipload 256 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: of money. Yeah, so let's ever thought about it like that? 257 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 4: Daddy? Oh have you tried this double greaser big mac 258 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:35,559 Speaker 4: ever extra? 259 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna you know, I'm gonna buy you one every 260 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 1: day because I love you. Because I love you, I 261 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: want you to be treated right. Yeah, Dad, don't get up, 262 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 1: don't get up to get that beer. Let me get 263 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 1: it for you. 264 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 2: There we go. 265 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 3: In fact, let me let me get you a home 266 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 3: delivery service so you never have to go anywhere. 267 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 2: A lazy boy. 268 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 3: Exercise exercise, just chill. And also did you eat the 269 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,079 Speaker 3: bacon greaser cheeseburger that I gave you today? 270 00:12:58,120 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 2: Oh? You did you want? 271 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 4: Do you want another one? I keep keep it up, 272 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 4: keep it up. Oh? And also that all probably fine? 273 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 4: Who who listens to doctors anyway? 274 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 2: They're quacks. 275 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 4: They're quacks. 276 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 3: You know, they said we needed to put on you 277 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:14,559 Speaker 3: know you masks outside during COVID, So what the fuck 278 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 3: did they know? 279 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 2: Nothing? 280 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: Clearly? Yeah, what is your take on inheritance to children. 281 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 4: I don't know. 282 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 3: I I it's at least my right now when I'm 283 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 3: thinking about my family, Like I know, my my grandparents 284 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 3: saved you know, like probably a few million or something 285 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 3: for their retirement, and they do plan on distributing it 286 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,839 Speaker 3: to all the kids when they die. But there's ten kids, 287 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 3: so that like gets distributed. They alluded pretty quick. In 288 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 3: terms of my dad, I have not thought about or 289 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 3: you to your children, yeah, but like I will yeah, 290 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 3: so like get me that. But like in terms of 291 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 3: like my dad and my mom, I don't really expect 292 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,079 Speaker 3: to inherit anything not that like I won't, but I 293 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 3: don't have that expectation. Like I'm not waiting like oh shit, 294 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 3: there's like money in the coffers or like oh shit 295 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,719 Speaker 3: the house or whatever, like that's not really something that's 296 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 3: on my mind. And so I think it's kind of 297 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 3: weird to expect that you would get an inheritance from 298 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 3: your your parents, Like it just feels like not my 299 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 3: money and not not my thing to worry about, if anything, 300 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 3: like the thing I am well I want, like I 301 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 3: the thing that is mine to worry about is actually 302 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 3: like my parents' end of life care like that I 303 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 3: see as on me. Hopefully they have enough money that 304 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 3: they can care for it. But I see that as 305 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 3: my responsibility. So I honestly think of like it as 306 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 3: reverse inheritance. Yeah, like, not only do I have to 307 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 3: respect to not inherit money, but I expect to have 308 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 3: to pay money as you know, as my parents age. 309 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 2: Same. 310 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 3: I don't think necessarily that maybe the case, but I 311 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 3: don't know. In terms of my own kids, I mean, 312 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 3: I yeah, I would want to pass them down something. Yeah, 313 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 3: I would want to pass like I like, I want 314 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 3: to create generational wealth. 315 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 4: And all that. 316 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, But in terms of like is that is that 317 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 3: a mandatory thing for all people to do? 318 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 4: Do I expect that? 319 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: Now? 320 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah? 321 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 4: I was.
