My dad said, many years ago, after my brother had died, that since I was the one to inherit what he and my mom had, he was going to tell me in advance not to expect any money...
He said, he intended to spend it all before he died...he said he would leave me his house, his vehicles, everything in the house, and I could to with it what I wanted....keep it, sell it, give it away, burn it, whatever...
I told him, I hoped he and mom lived long enough to spend all their money....
And our son tells us that same...he wants us to have a good time, enjoy life, and not think about leaving him any money...he says he is fully capable of making his own...(his latest job is paying him $70 an hour, so yes, he is capable of making his own)...
Of course, my mom and dad died before they spent all their money, and I suspect, my hubby and I will leave some behind also...but we are going to have a good time, trying to spend it all before we go...
That would be just about perfect timing for those of us with no dependents or relatives.
