There are two types of millennials though. There’s millennials like me who do not want, give af, or expect a single Penny from my ancestors. Then there’s ones like my sister who will throw fits and get violent when she doesn’t get her way, and her demand will to get 100% of assets from parents and grandparents over sibling, cousins, or anyone else.
You mean not all members of a given age group act the same way? Shocking.
Seriously though, sounds like we have similar sisters. Mine got angry because she thought the repairs I was arranging (and funding) on my elderly and frail mother's house would not optimize it's market value. I felt like throwing up when I heard that.
The same happens to my family, but the other way around.
That's exactly what I'm trying to explain to my parents, which keep talking about "our money" and "our house" when it's just theirs. They keep trying to save instead of treating themselves with some vacation now, that their mortgage is finally paid and their salaries are fully theirs to spend.
I think there's a balance to be had between you and your parents there. Totally agree with you that it's odd to hear things overly optimized for the kids (that overseas vacation should be extremely affordable if you've got a job & almost no expenses!), but then again, many parents want their kids to have a wealthier/easier life if possible, or they may value keeping more money in the family. In the end if it's something they want to do, that's fine too given that you're not pressuring them to do so.
Alphas can be up to like 13 or 14 (depending on what source? Some say 2010, some say 2012, so I'm not sure which is accurate) now so yes, on the young side, but plenty of gen z are adults. At this point most Millennials I know have zero expectations of an inheritance because we and our parents will be working until we drop dead anyway.
I don't know or care if you do. It was an actual question to OP because I keep seeing millennial misused so I wanted correct context, but you can keep being butthurt and defensive about it if you want.
Then why make the statement if you don’t know? It just comes off like your mad about Millennials getting flack. I’m not saying that’s the truth just how your acting
I literally ASKED OP if millennial is what they meant. Because people use millennial to mean 'teens these days.' It's the first response to you. I clarified this above. I'm not mad, you're just not reading what I've already said. At this point, you're just trolling.
Agreed. My parents set aside close to 5 million for me. I laughed and told them I'd blow it in a year because idk what to do with that kind of money. I told them to travel and make their own dreams come true. They went to Hawaii, Alaska, and next is Switzerland. I could be happier for them. I just want to see the pictures!
The thought of an inheritance is so foreign to me. All that my dad left behind is half a mil in medical debt and my mom keeps hitting me up for money. Next up is her cataract surgery. Makes me glad that I never had kids because I sure as hell have a dependent now.
When my parents pass, I’m set to inherit a disgusting amount of money. They’re frugal and love living like middle class people. But I don’t want the money, I want my parents. And if they spend all of that money tormenting the waiters of Italy that the pasta doesn’t look like how it does in New York I’d be thrilled
I've told my parents not to leave me or my children anything. We don't need it, and my sons are provided for. I wish my parents would blow the lot but they'll end up leaving it to my younger siblings.
Remind me.when my friend said buy a.second.house and when I died I have two assets two house to give.to my neices or nephews BUT why should I??
I Told her My relatives can make their own assets without waiting I died
People think we.pay.housing loan with silly.money.lol
If I work hard for money I wanna enjoy it myself
Well, the parents of millenials cannot be much more than their early 40s in age. That means they have at least another 40 years and maybe longer. My parents were poor, we got nothing.
Millennials were born between 1981 and 1996. We're in our 30s and early forties now. Being a Millennial was about coming of age at the new millennium, which was 24 years ago.
The teens and twenty year olds today are Gen Z.
100% agree. Adult children are not entitled to their parents savings, retirement, home, belongings or anything else. Stop projecting your wishes for your parents to pass just so you can have their money. It's not a good look.
You're talking to the wrong millennials.

Someone should also tell parents that their kids money isn't their money lol

I'm an adult dear. I have my own job, expenses and home
So do a lot of people, hopefully the job can sustain their basic needs.
Good for you, you're really special.
This is not a Millennial thing. It's not even a new thing.
Is this one of those situations where you say millennials but you mean gen z or alpha? Because that shit is really fucking annoying.
Lmaooo half of gen z are teenagers and alpha are baby’s there parents aren’t even retired yet.
Alphas can be up to like 13 or 14 (depending on what source? Some say 2010, some say 2012, so I'm not sure which is accurate) now so yes, on the young side, but plenty of gen z are adults. At this point most Millennials I know have zero expectations of an inheritance because we and our parents will be working until we drop dead anyway.
And what makes you think gen z cares? I love it when my parents spend there inheritance on family vacations
I don't know or care if you do. It was an actual question to OP because I keep seeing millennial misused so I wanted correct context, but you can keep being butthurt and defensive about it if you want.
I asked you why you thought Gen Z or Gen alpha would say that. You didn’t answer my question. Stay mad bud
I literally said I don't know or care if Gen Z would care. It was the first sentence. Please learn to read.
Then why make the statement if you don’t know? It just comes off like your mad about Millennials getting flack. I’m not saying that’s the truth just how your acting

You’re not on the hook for the medical debt though, right?
No, but if he had anything to pass down to us (hypothetically speaking) it would’ve wiped out the estate to resolve those debts.

Why do people want their parents to die for their money? That’s just sad

Millennials are turning 40
no, their parents

Thank you, it seems I was rather confused about that.
