        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.

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

                What a weird second sentence.

                  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
