If my Dad had killed himself 10 years before he actually died (of natural causes) he would have left me and my siblings a fair chunk of $$$.But his last years were difficult ones and cost a lot of money.As a result he left very little behind.All four of us are glad to have had those extra 10 years regardless of what they might have "cost" us.
I'd bet that *their* kids would rather have the $$$.
I smell Teenage Greed!!
