Inheriting money doesn't change things so much: the people I've met who've inherited a lot of money generally felt a bit lost.
I'm not quite old yet (everyone would say that, right? I'm 35), and I don't regret my younger self at all: during the past 12 years I worked cumulatively 9 years and had 3 years off inbetween jobs. I managed to save up some money, as well as travel and have time for myself.
- kilroy123 6y agoSo very true. My girlfriends friend is like this, a woman in her mid 40s and she is so incredibly lost and all over the place.
- toyg 6y agoI sincerely disagree. Ever since I had kids, being forced to work for a living has been a massive weight on my life. Inherited wealth would be a great help. Luckily, the fact that I don’t expect to inherit much of anything gets me out of the moral implications of wishing anyone’s death (which is actually the second biggest worry, at the back of my mind).
- goatinaboat 6y agoEver since I had kids, being forced to work for a living has been a massive weight on my life. Inherited wealth would be a great help. The problem with these kinds of hypotheticals is that had it been that way, you would not be the you that feels this way. Aged as I am now, a windfall like an inheritance or a lottery win would probably be invested sensibly towards my retirement. But would a much younger me have blown it all on bitcoin speculation or something equally dumb that seemed like a good idea at the time?
