    My parents have everything. My grandparents were fairly wealthy and passed on. We have inherited nothing from them, it all went to my parents and we saw nothing of it. They have a nice new freestanding pool in their backyard and a fire pit, though. Oh and new cars. I was buying a home recently and had to take a down payment as a retirement loan. Not a cent from them to help.

        No joke they said nonsense like that. They forget that their own parents left them with nothing and they suffered. Fair is fair I guess.

          Oh buddy, trust me, I wasn’t just quoting your parents. The bitch was they’d say shit like that when I was a kid; like no I don’t want your shit, I don’t want to listen to how you plan to die, or how afraid you are that it’s soon. I want to stay up late and watch Yu Yu Hakusho on Adult Swim. And then they wonder why their “wealth” isn’t enough for me to stay around through their abuse and overall shitty personalities.

        I remember being 23 and asking my mom if she’d add me to one of her credit cards to help me with credit. I didn’t want access, just so that it would help my credit history. She refused by telling me that it was my responsibility.
