I haven't seen my brother since my Dad's funeral 8 years ago.
Hadn't seen him for 9 years before that.
My dad wrote him out of his will and he'll get nowt from our step mother. I get half - should be about 200 grand.
She's 90 and on her last legs.

Odd that we don't talk about money much in this thread as its always a topic of conversation among people of a similar age to me (almost 63) off of the forum.
Although it was mentioned in the very first post of this thread.
Whilst it's not very British to talk about who's got what etc it would be handy I think to share tips re money management and good deals etc for us in the latter stages of our lives. Might be helpful to Newbie or soon to be Retirees.

A good idea is to sew your pockets up, thereby making it impossible for children/grandchildren to get money out of you.
I always say they can have half of everything i have. That amounts to sod all.

Doesn’t make you any happier! My step mum and dad both left a sizeable inheritance and, apart from removing financial worries, I would say I have actually felt more down lately. Didn’t get on that well with the step mum, but dad and I were on the same wavelength and enjoyed a lot of the same interests. Would hand the money back to have him back for a bit longer.
Good point but we have so many different situations.
I am older than you at 72 and fortunate with my health...... but still realise 72, knocking on.
We have 2 "children" we get on well with. We own our house (not of great value) and due to running a small company have a few bob.
On the basis "you cant take it with you" we are not stingy and do look after the family but are NOT a soft touch.
AND I am about to buy a new bike.
AND me and a mate go away to Majorca for a cycling holiday next month.
Well welshie, when I said no one, that excludes me
