Re: Living the death of the Irish property boom (4.00 / 3)

Ha. Insert cyncial remarks about adult children here.

I know older people - not related to me, I hasten to add - who rely on their estate as a form of power over their children. Assurances from their children that they don't care about the money would be precisely what they don't want.

In fact telling them that you won't need/want their money and they should enjoy life while they are alive is seen as an insult. You may even be seen as 'jealous' and trying to hurt their feelings...

The more you have when you die the better you are...really...don't you believe me??

Now...where did I leave that note on how to bring your wealth with you to your afterlife...
