I agree osten - spend the money and enjoy your life - 100%
Recently my 88 year old mother has had to go into full time residential care - which in the UK she needs to fund herself. The cost is an eye watering £45k each year!
Mom & Dad spent their working life paying taxes & contributing everything they were asked. They thought that, in saving, they would be leaving a significant inheritance for the children & grandchildren, however cash funds depleted, we have just agreed a sale of the 'family' home - the money being used to fund Mom's continued care.
If Mom had spent the money, she would still get the necessary care - it would have been state funded - where is the justice in that??
Enjoy your life - spend your money on & with your family - there are no pockets in shrouds!!
Time to get out in the 3 wheeler & focus on what's really important
ajsms999, you are right. There is no justice when you consider that those that have saved nothing for their future get it all given. And those that have save get penalized. Having just retired in 2016, I can safely say i have spent my inheritance on the Mog.
Come time the wife and i agree that we are not leaving the State anything.
Enjoy your health and money while you can, you never know whats around the corner.
