Neither of us has had, or will get any sort of inheritance but quite frankly I don't need it. My parents were old fashioned working class; my dad worked on the track at Vauxhall making car seats (he died aged 45) and my mother stitched hats at home on a Singer sewing machine. What they did give all three of us was an appreciation of education and a work ethic. When we first went to school we were well ahead of our years in reading, writing and maths and as we grew we joined the Scouts land learned many of the essentials of life that way. We are now going to probably have to leave a reasonable amount of money to someone somewhere (as long as we don't have to pay for health care in the future) and this is quite a responsibility. We don't have any children of our own, through choice but have lots of great nieces and nephews. Or do we give it to a good cause? Nice problem really. Good thread altogether here.
