    20 years?

    You know boomers are already 70+ right? In 20 years they’ll all mostly be dead anyway and their wealth sucked up by medical debt and end of life care services.

            He's why The Greatest Generation, and The Forgotten Generation called them The Me Generation, not Boomers. The Me Generation then tried to stick Gen X with that moniker, not realizing that they were too selfish to have enough children for Gen X to ever be relevant.

              My boomer relatives floated the idea of donating their estates to the mormon church upon their deaths, fucking their apostate kids out of any inheritance

              Bro 😔 I am so sorry. Assuming you are not a drug addict or something you didn't deserve that.

                      I personally don't like the idea of inheritance in general but first thought that came to my head when I read this - every time I hear about the "great wealth transfer" that's supposed to happen, I think nah, it's all going to go to long term care and into the pockets of the people who own those places.

                        Nope. Till, though an older form of the word, would be the acceptable term, with 'til being an informal shortening of until that's used mainly in poetry for cadence (source).

                          Eh, here in Sweden it is normal to reuse grave sites, you normally get a grave site for 25 years, but it can be extended.

                          The relatives of the person buried can extend the time that the gravesite is yours, but it costs money.

                          Sooner or later the gravesite is returned to the church to be reused.

                            Yeah certainly not the fucking Mormon church though. Literally would rather it go to a crackhead at peak addiction so they can throw a $450,000 crack party then those fucks.

                                    They are first cremated, and at leat when my grandad died, the ash was placed in a biodegradable urn, so I'll assume it just biodegrade when the next guy is going in.

                                      They’re spending all of the money that might go to our inheritance on themselves, but mostly because the medical system has figured out how to extract all of their money from them when they are near death through hospice care, assisted living facilities, and other means.

                                          My cousin's neighbor got screwed by this. Thought he was inheriting the home et al - turns out the bank is coming in to take the home unless he can come up with a chunk of money he absolutely doesn't have. Now he has to unexpectedly move.
