None of us want to think about losing our parents. It’s a really tough part of life, but sometimes they leave us things that can help us feel more secure. A lot of people hope for that.
Not long ago, someone wrote to a newspaper expressing their frustration with their parents. They mentioned that their parents had begun to spend their retirement money on themselves instead of saving it for their kids.

The author shared that they were taking amazing vacations to places like New York, Costa Rica, and Thailand. However, it didn’t take long for the 34-year-old to start feeling bitter about each trip.They openly said it was a tough topic to talk about, but those dream vacations were eating away at their inheritance. They also mentioned the rising cost of living and the growing wealth gap between generations.

Then, they posed an interesting question: “Who’s being selfish here? Is it us for hoping they save their money for us in the future? Or is it them for spending it all on themselves without a care?”

Her parents mentioned that they would share the rest of their savings between their two kids. However, since they are using most of that money now, it doesn’t look like that will actually happen.
The 34-year-old says they are renting and just getting by. They believe that even if they could buy a house, they would still be stuck in debt.

It’s a tough situation, and both sides have their own struggles. There isn’t a simple fix for this, but it definitely gets people discussing the issue.
