Yeah, this is something that I feel might be lost?
I know a number of people who are, lets say...'less than proactive' in regards to their lives and careers because the eventual inheritance will paper over all of that, meanwhile they coast through their lives in the warm feeling of that eventual safety blanket.
Meanwhile...they're demonstrating this attitude to their kids...well...sorry kids, there may not be much left for you once mommy and daddy are done.
Because unless you're unfathomably wealthy and well set up...inheritances tend to be a declining balance.
