Maybe there's no inheritance for then to collect in the end. I know I have a friend her parents are the same way. No money in saving nothing to leave behind and they are mad about it. They talk about how they will have to take care of them someday. No life insurance either. They talk about how there parents has spent money for years. But what about when they were growing up. I'm sure that money was spent on them too.
My IL are the opposite. They have saved for years. They are both retired and in there 80's, have gone on trips every year for the last 20 years. They own our mortgage. We have paid them every month for over 20 years. They have only spend very little of that money. So the money will come back to us and my DH sibling. Their funeral is all paid for so no one has to deal with that. Every time they go on a trip they always tell us that "they are spending our inheritance" I say spend it. No parent is responsible to leaving their kids or grandkids money.
