    I’d prefer to leave my kids something. Hopefully it will teach them to appreciate the hand out & desire to be responsible enough to help their children. The way I see it, it won’t get any easier generation to the next so if I can help my kids out some then I’m all for it.

      It is their money....but alot of these people who say they won't leave anything are the same ones who weren't ever left anything, and are in debt now
      My Grandfather passed away a little over a year ago - Very modest factory worker. My Grandma is still alive, but they lived in a house they owned, and had a car that was paid for. No real debt to speak of. We had vacations every year together, and they would spend months at a time in the winter at Mom's house.

      Not a lot of anything to dole out to my Mom or Uncle, but it just didnt matter. Both my Mom and Uncle are great people and we all live well. Not multi millionaires by any stretch, but not one Cousin really struggles for much, and me and my Brothers have enough of what we want, that we dont need anything.

      I think those vacations every year growing up / couple events that we attended together as a Family meant way more than any savings that would have happened without taking them.

          Our primary source of income is my military retirement and VA checks which will cease when I pass. Thus my wife would be left with social security and a small military survivor benefit as income. So, I have been prudent in saving/investing/accumulating to provide for her without any impact on our lifestyle. The lesson here is start early and do a bit each paycheck and it will add up. And, term life is a good way to cover gaps when you are young. Get a good financial planner and listen and heed their advice.

          Of course, if my wife dies before I do, well then if I'm still spry enough to own a ranch, I'll have one. If I'm not, then my kids will get a handful when I pass on.

              My hope is that I/we can leave a little something for the kids/grandkids, plus give a little each year until we pass. To do that, we'll retire when we can live off of our investments' income...hopefully in the next 3-4 years.

                I don't feel the need to leave a lot for the kids, but I don't want to die broke either. Unless someone can tell me the secret formula to know exactly when I will die and what expenses I will have up to that point. Then I can plan to die at breakeven.

                  Always tell my kids when I die the 1st check they write is gonna bounce. I'm trying to leave them something but my hunting and fishing addiction is cutting into their money.

                      Hope to leave some land to my kids. I am an only child and my parents plan to leave me their paid off home and other items. But I told them I hope they live life to the fullest and if I don’t get anything when they die I am fine. I am an able bodied person and make my own means happen.

                        On the other hand, life insurance is a must in the case of sudden death.
                        Why is life insurance a must?

                          You would assume he means in the event of sudden death that his family is squared away.. no?

                            thats what u think

                            it always ends up in a family feud bc one wants to sell or doesnt approve of others use etc..

                              I have told both of my sons to go make their way in life and not plan on getting anything from us. If there happens to be something left when my wife and I die they will get it. Of course, the longivity gene is strong on both my wife and my side. One of us should make it into our 90s which would put our kids in their 60s maybe even 70. Our money wont do them much good at that point as far as improving their lifestyle.

                              Like others have mentioned, it is more important for us to help them out here and there to achieve some things in life and to create memories together. I took both of my sons to a World Series game.....things like that are very important to my wife and I. Why wait until we are dead for them to enjoy our money?

                                Im not sure but it is kind of a blanket statement that is why I was asking.
