My aunt left me quite a lot when she died as she was unmarried and had no children and we were close.

It was put into a savings account that I can't touch until I am 21 but my mum can withdraw on my behalf. I bought my car with some of it but my mum has never told me how much I have in it.

Oh my mum let me pay for my holidays to New York and California from that account too. She's not shady about what is in the account she just tells me enough whenever I ask

Me and my sister inherited around £25,000 each when my mum died... I'm sad to say it didn't actually last very long.

I do regret how quickly we went through the money we were left... but it's a strange situation really if parents die while you're (relatively) young (I was 28). It seemed to just evaporate. Though being fair, a large chunk of it went on learning to drive and buying a car, which was a huge stepping stone and has COMPLETELY changed our lives in almost every way including financially and is still doing so, so not all to waste.

My real great shame / regret is that £9k of it was spent on paying off debts and we were "debt free" other than student loans... which felt absolutely amazing... but 2 years down the line I was back to nearly -£7500. Really, really stupid and regrettable.

As for my dad, he's getting married this summer to a younger lady so I doubt I'll inherit anything from him .

Yeah it had come up in conversation (I'd mentioned a new story about it or something) and he replied with basically just what you said.

I'm the gold digger stealing Morgan's inheritance as well as his Dad's heart.

I got £50 from my great granddad when he died

I think he heard me say "oh my god could he walk down those stairs any slower " and held it against me ever since

Nope. I don’t really want to think about it tbh...

Some one I know her grandad left her his house she got married had two kids with a total loser and lost the house. He left after that.

Also some one else's granddad left him 375 grand him and his misses blew the lot and was selling the crap the bough at one point for peanuts.

Unless your parents are very elderly or very well off, for most you won't get any inheritance until you hit your 60s/70s when they pass away, the only other way you will get an inheritance early is if they meet an untimely death you also have to take into account that unless you plan to look after your elderly parents yourself if they go into a care home, the state will make you sell their assets to pay for their care so sorry to be the bearer of gloom though I say I would like to leave my kids something the sad fact is I may not be able to do it it all depends on whether we snuff it early, if they look after us themselves or if we win the lottery.

I agree with others on here that a lot of people who get easy money this way tend to blow it on stupid stuff

[Cal.]

My mam and dad don’t have anything yet really to leave me

If they had money I’d rather they spend it themselves and lived their lives than saved it for me. I’ll be fine without it knowing they lived a full and great life.

Me and my sister inherited our parents house, so got the money from that and all the stuff too. Some stuff still in boxes in one of my cupboards and its been 6 years now. I bought a car and paid for a garage conversion on my house, I still have some cash left. My sister and brother in law had a year off work, bought a caravan and now have nowt left.

Yeah, my in-laws were young parents, they're still only 48 and 50 and while her dad is not in amazing health for his age... I'm pretty sure her mother will outlive us just out of sheer spite. She's only 16 years older than me (was 18 when my wife was born) so it's fairly realistic that I'll be dead before her .

My dad is in his mid 60's but like I said above... his new wife-to-be is only 6 years older than me. Plus he's been retired since he was 55 and I'm relatively sure he got half as a lump sum and spent the lot in the first 2 years, and they live on her salary. So there'll be nothing to inherit anyway!

It's true, that just happens with unexpected money I think. I went through the money from my mum like water. More than half went on "big spends" (holiday, car, debts) but the rest was just pissed away by not paying attention to spending. Same thing happened when I got a £1600 "PPI" claim payment. That money vanished in about a month . But I wouldn't spend our actual month-to-month income like that... I think it just feels different when it's "excess" cash.

I could see my own mother out living me She's 64 now but she's healthier than me probably

I think it is human nature to blow easy money, it takes a level of discipline not to splash out and most of us would I think, which is why I think inheritances like big lottery wins can send some people off the rails rather than helping

The one plus the younger generation has going for this is that in the main their parents will own a property or have some money in the bank, whether they get their hands on it is another issue
