It sucks young people have all these expenses to get set up in life (university, house, car) during their low-earning years. If I can take away that from my kids, hopefully they'll pay it forward for their kids, and we'll remove some stress from future generations in my family until some prick decides to become an alcoholic and blow their advantages. Hopefully that'll be after I'm gone, though.
