A couple of weeks ago I read an article in a British newspaper, and I haven't stopped thinking about it since. It was written - anonymously (I wonder why?) - by a young person who was very concerned about the fact that their inheritance was being squandered by their parents who were blowing up their savings on expensive holidays, new cars, luxury purchases, etc. At the rate at which these boomers were going through their money, their resentful child complained, there would be nothing left to inherit by the time they passed.
I read to the end, feeling horrified at the entitlement dripping through every line. It was mind-boggling to see that an adult (the writer admitted to being in their 30s) still felt that their parents owed them a living - and believed that these retired folk should forgo all the luxuries they had worked so hard for all their lives just so that they could leave a nice little nest egg for their progeny.
