The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

They should receive a decent inheritance, though their college education and planned gifting along the way is all we have told them to expect. I have no desire to impose a couple of trustafarians on this world.

This is OT obviously, but have any here thought about giving kids an inheritance early instead of after death? Not enough to do nothing, but enough to not have to stress so much about possible layoffs? I have two sons stressing about layoffs.

Maybe we can start a thread about this somewhere else if there is any interest?
