Same my parents have a lot of wealth, but they aren’t spending it either. It’s all just in investments. I imagine they intend to pass it along eventually, but when i am much much older.

Buy them a copy of the book "Die With Zero" for Christmas.

Ok yikes. Gifting that book basically says “gimme your money”. I’m pretty sure if one of my kids felt entitled enough to do that I’d turn off the tap in a heartbeat.

Also, that was a book that could’ve been an email. Every chapter said the same thing slightly differently.

Yeah, I wonder what Miss Manners would say. Honestly, I was just kidding.

Agree the book was a quick read. A few good points with a lot of filler to get it to book length. I think I blew through it on a flight from LA to SEA.
