Don't count on an inheritance? Heck, I specifically don't want an inheritance.
My parents are 1-percenters, but I've told them to spend every last penny of their fortune either on themselves or charitable causes that are meaningful to them (my sister doesn't share this opinion, unfortunately). They made many sacrifices for their children while we were younger and gave us every opportunity to find our own success as adults (including teaching us the importance of proper retirement saving), so now I want to see them use their wealth to maximize the enjoyment of their senior years.
