Yesterday there was a thread discussing Boomers, and how they scrimp and save in order to leave an inheritance for their next generation(s). (I know; it’s in the Bible.)
But this chick’s attitude is the reason why I said I’d never worry about leaving money to children and grandchildren. Such a sense of entitlement. She doesn’t want to work (like we did). How does she expect to finance her lazy life?
To her,
Food should be free.
Housing should be free.
Transportation should be free.
Entertainment should be free.
She has just described ‘slavery’.................
There is no direct commandment that says we must leave an inheritance. Ecclesiastes discusses the futility of a man who works hard all of life and saves a lot of money but ends up dying with the money being spent by his heirs who foolishly spend it.(All is vanity and meaningless...there is nothing new under the sun)
It is not a bad thing to want to leave a little something for your surviving family but the survivors should have no expectations that they deserve to get what they did not earn themselves.
