      No one is owed an inheritance.

            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.

                            Theyโ€™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.

                                    The easy answer is by spending all their money before they die so that their kids/grandkids don't really have an inheritance.

                                    yup irresponsible spending too, and then at least on some subs there are stories of them that want the children to be thier retirement plans. some of thier adult children were willing to do it, some wont.

                                      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).

                                        I may not be perfect at it (at all, considering English is not my mother tongue), but I love grammar. It's linguistic artwork.

                                        Also, I love this alot lol
