Misplanned Retirement
I have an acquaintance (he’s 50ish) that’s threatening to take his parents (in their 80s) to court because they’re 5 star larking around the world and he’s terrified that there won’t be anything significant left to inherit.
He’s been living his life based on the assumption that he’ll be getting a 7 figure payout when his parents kick. So his retirement depends on getting their money.
Full-on screaming hissy fit describes how he reacted to the news that they were getting a reverse mortgage on the house. Dying (almost) broke = doing it right in my opinion. Story credit: Reddit / bloodguard
