Lucky for me my parents were both "I didn't save anything for retirement, my kids will take care of me when I'm older", so I don't have to suffer through this.
Seeing my in laws stressing about how much they'll leave their daughters and managing their spendings based on that has made me come to the conclusion that the expectation of leaving an inheritance is completely ridiculous and worst case people should just give it away before they die so they can see their loved ones enjoying it.
