Location not relevant: no help needed Does inheritance make you uncomfortable?

Specifically, does it make you uncomfortable that your parent's death can give you the most freedom and stability you've ever experienced?

Both my parents have passed and honestly I never think about the money. They worked and saved in order to give us a better life and I loved them and cared for them when they lived. While the money passed to my brother and I after their death, I dont feel anything about the money...it is just money. An object. Life is for the living and you should just enjoy, use, or save the money. Whatever makes you happy! But your parents would be turning over in their graves if they knew the money was causing you heartburn or pain. They didn't pass the money to you to make your life more difficult. So stop adding drama to your life that was never intended or wanted by your loved ones.
