Well my parents are right at the oldest of the BB's and my mother iherited 1/3 of her parents house - 80K. She decided to pass on 20k each to her 3 children and keep 20k for herself as she said she dosn't need it.
I am not hanging out for my parents wealth. My mother was 18, 22, 25 when we were born, me being the middle child (my dad is only 1 year older than mum). My maternal grandmother passed away at 91 and my paternal grandfather is well into his 90's and still at home, I will be into my 70's if my parents last as long as their parents.
If I have to rely on my parents wealth to see me through retirement, I will consider my life a financial failure.
My daughter will probably get my share of whatever my parents leave. She will probably only be 30ish then so will be a good help for her.(I was a very late starter at parenthood).
My husbands parents have next to nothing so we will get 1/2 of nothing there.
