'I resent my parents for burning through money that should be my inheritance'

Inheritance is always a somewhat touchy issue, but how would you feel if your child began to resent you for spending your own money?, claiming that they had begun to begrudge their parents for spending money during their retirement rather than using it to help support their kids.

However, the 34-year-old writer explained that they were growing “more resentful” with each trip their parents went on. They went on to explain the wider situation – we all know there’s a cost of living crisis going on, and that the wealth gap between generations seems to keep widening.“Who is being selfish? Us for wanting them to save their money so we can one day have it? Or them, for splurging it all so freely on themselves?”

“At 34, I am still renting and living hand-to-mouth,” they wrote, adding that their financial situation would be unlikely to improve even if they managed to purchase a property, as “there will be no way out without help.”
