To be angry that my DM rents???

[Ohioatdawn]

I'm so angry.
My DM, at 76 years old, rents her house.
She does not own her home.
This means I will never inherit anything.
Which in turn means my DC will never inherit from grandparents.
I'm so, so angry about this.
Why is life so unfair.
Why am I surrounded by people who have inherited their elderly parents houses, and by doing so have acquired mass fortunes due to what houses are selling for nowadays.
Why am I surrounded by people who are putting their inheritance into savings to give to their own DC when they grow up.
I'm so angry.
Why is life so unjust.
Why are some people so lucky and other people so unlucky.
Why are some people just handed hundreds of thousands of pounds through inheritance.
Meanwhile I'm working arse off full time. DH is working his arse off full time. We live in a tiny house cos it's all we could afford. Got no parental help with buying it. It's a state, needs loads doing to it but we can't afford to do it. Mortgage repayments are a fortune. And life is hard financially. Really hard. We're drowning. And never are we going to receive any help financially whatsoever. Never.
Why are some born into luck and others born into struggle?

Why am I an immigrant married to another immigrant, neither of whom have got a penny from our parents and likely never will? It's SOOO unfair.

Do you own your own home?

as the kids say "womp womp".

The question you need to be asking is WHY does your mother rent, you must know the reasons for that. Being angry at other people isnt going to change the situation, you need to just focus on breaking this cycle and ensuring your kids/grandkids will benefit from an inheritance when you pass away.

Why are you so self-centred?

Surely your DC will inherit from you?

Life is unfair.

I am very very angry that both my DH and I have funny foreign names and therefore are at a disadvantage in the work place.
Snotfair!

Why wouldn’t your DC inherit from you?

Im sure your mum is delighted that she is in her 70s and still living at the whims of a landlord. On the plus side at least with no inheritance you aren’t counting down the days until she checks out.

Welcome to the world.

Life sometimes isn't fair.

Does that help??

PS I've not inhereted anything either.

You sound silly and entitled. Did your mum own a home and sell it and now she’s spent the proceedings on wonderful holidays, nice clothes and jewels?? Well even if she has it’s none of your business.

Btw I'd swap my inheritance in a heartbeat to have my parents still here.

Life isn't fair....have you only just worked this out? Welcome to the world

Soooo many people missing the point completely 🤣

The one advantage of renting after retirement is that when you need care, your home does not have to be sold to pay for it.
I don't know who your "friends" are, but I know of several people whose inheritance was swallowed up by long term residential care costs.

Do YOU own your own home and have a well paying job and have made plans for youe children’s future?

If you like you can have my inheritance. There’s no money to speak of as far as I know, but you can have the dementia I’ll like inherit and the long history of mental illness in my family. Have at it and enjoy.

You’re meant to do your April Fools before midday op

One of life's victims are you?

My parents own, Infact right now they have 2 properties!! I won't get anything from them I expect and that's fine. Why plan for any inheritance when it can be eaten up by care home fees or taxes or god knows what else.

Yabu

It's so unfair. I grew up in local authority care after me and my siblings were removed for abuse and neglect. I'll never inherit, I've had to work for everything I've got.
Get over yourself!!!

Why do some people have life changing illnesses so they can’t work?
Why can’t some people have the children they so desperately want?
Life isn’t fair op. Count your blessings and work out how to improve things.

I’ve told my parents to spend everything while they can. I would much rather they enjoyed their lives now. It’s their money. I don’t feel entitled to it at all.

Your attitude sucks, to be honest.

I am angry that I have an invisible disability but disability nevertheless and havent been able to work in a full time job for many years.

But thankfully I become self employed and me and my husband built a small business to support our family and give flexibility around my disability.

I'm so angry that it has been difficult though, and we've not yet managed to quallify for a mortgage with our lower income ls and self employed status.

I'm so angry that our dcs have both had life threatening illnesses, but thankfully we've been self employed and able to take time away from work to look after them.

I'm so angry we've not been able to put much away for our pensions but thankfully our dcs are thriving now and bring us so much joy and pride.

The family and life you are born into is an absolute lottery.

Some people are born in war zones
Some are born in slums
Some are born to billionaire parents
Some are born to poor parents
Some are born with amazingly kind caring parents
Some are born to abusers
Some women die in childbirth so the child never has a mother
Some are abandoned straight away

There's so many scenarios...it really is just luck.
