I'd never have asked but my dad just told me last week over dinner and I was just kinda like 'oh' and never thought much of it again until these past few days

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'd be surprise if i didn't

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.

not you being secretly a millionaire

[Amy Jade]

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

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

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

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

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 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

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.

tbh this is my approach going forward

I completely understand why people's parents leave inheritance and it's up to them on how the spend it, and while me receiving a big cheque from my mum would be what she wants and what she's thought about, I'd feel a bit sad that she could've used that money to enjoy her last years of life and rewarded herself for her hard work rather than giving it to me

That's not for me to sound grateful. I would be overwhelmed and really thankful if I did receive inheritance, but personally I'd rather my mum spends her money on herself for once in her life
