How about Judge Rinder?

I'd not lend him any money he has enough

I have written it off ( no choice) and want to write him off our will but my wife won't do it as she has a soft spot for him so my hands are tied, for the moment.

Either you won't be around to worry about him inheriting (as presumably your wife is your beneficiary), or you can change your will (not an immediate concern hopefully)

Sounds more like a contact app...

Up to a point I agree. My own two kids never ask me but there is also peer / partner pressure and the way society is, i.e: buy now ,pay later.

Its only what they learn at home.

I am very doubtful about lending anything as I have lost too many things, mostly books over the years. There are a couple of people I would lend tools to but I never lend money.
My grandchildren get fairly generous amounts for birthdays and christmas and I have given gifts to my children compatible with tax regulations on the basis that I cannot take it with me and somebody should get some use of it. It does not leave me short and so long as I keep an emergency supply I am happy to pass it on as if I go gaga it would probably get confiscated anyway.

Remember you have to be nice to your children as they'll be picking your nursing home...

I'll be taking hostages if they try and get me in a nursing home.

My mother in law said that. She went to a home we chose.

I can see me being packed of to Bangladesh, knowing how careful my kids are with money, none have ever asked for a loan of money, tools yes but money never.

It'll be death by police shooting if they try that with me.

I'm hoping in the next 20 years we have a sensible discussion about assisted dying, so I won't need to go into a home.

She said something similar, but when the decision had to be made she was away with the fairies. You might get like that

You might get like that

What do you mean 'might' he's already there, have you not read his posts

Today I'm going to agree with you

The difference is I'll be away with the fairies and my shotgun.
